In the Classroom

Use any of their great activities such as "Inside a Cell," "Cell Communication," Build A Membrane," or "Coffee to Carbon." Use many of these resources on an interactive whiteboard or projector to bring information up close. Begin by finding out what students know about cells using a tool like Dotstorming, reviewed here, then continue with an introduction about cells using basic terminology or understanding of cell parts. As your class studies cell parts and the workings between them, have groups of students investigate information about a specific cell part, and report their findings to the class. Share findings by creating an interactive online poster using Adobe Creative Cloud Express for Education, reviewed here.
