I'm prepping my fall classes. In an earlier post, I mentioned Inside the Cell, a free booklet from the National Institute of General Medicine. I ordered a class set last year and earlier this summer for my classes. Perfect for a unit on cells. I was checking the links on a webquest when I ran across Cells Alive! Scroll down the pages and click on the gallery to preview images. I want to print and frame a few. If you do not have access to a good microscope, micrograph images are the next best thing. (Here is another resource for cellular images.)
Have you tried a webquest? Glencoe's The Cell Webquest works as an extension activity. I use webquests to get kids to do a little writing. Glencoe offers several webquests. Check for broken links! This cell webquest has kids create cell trading cards and write a children's book. Fun! The Cell Exploration Webquest from Biology Junction focuses on cell organelles. Use a webquest to change up instruction. The questions, worksheets, or trading cards all make excellent artifacts for your portfolio.
