Cell Structure Starter Activities

Kick start your biology unit on cells with these 3 essential digital printable starter activities! This pack provides quick, engaging ways for students to recall, identify, and apply their knowledge of cell organelles, preparing them for deeper dives into cell biology.

Inside, you’ll find:

Activity 1: Organelle Quick Fire: A fast-paced recall challenge where students identify which cell types (plant, animal, bacterial) each organelle is found in, with an extension for recalling functions. Perfect for individual or paired white boarding sessions.

Activity 2: Diagram Mismatch: Sharpen analytical skills as students identify and correct intentional labeling errors on cell diagrams, solidifying their understanding of organelle names, locations, and functions. Great for individual, pair, or group work.

Activity 3: Cell Scavenger Hunt (Tabletop): A hands-on sorting activity where students classify cell structures into plant, animal, bacterial, or shared categories, reinforcing their understanding of unique and common organelles. Ideal for groups or pairs.

These activities are designed for instant printing and immediate classroom use, saving you valuable preparation time while ensuring a strong foundation for your students in understanding cell structures.
