CELL EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES
FIRST THIS IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM YOUR TEACHER:
This packet contains different activities that are all about cells. The activities may be done in any order unless
I say otherwise, EXCEPT FOR # 12—DO THAT ONE LAST! They will pretty much follow what we do as a
class so you might want to do them in order. These activities will be done in class but you can also do them at
home. They are written so that you can do them INDEPENDENTLY and WITHOUT me. If you do get stuck, go
on to another activity or ask a classmate for help until you can meet with me. Make sure you do your best
since these will count as a TEST GRADE. Some of these activities you will do by yourself or with others (see
key below). You must have a NEW PARTNER each time and BEWARE, if I don’t get a sense that you are doing
the work (not watching others do it), talking about the work (not your social life) or making progress on the
work, (not just havin’ a good time) you’ll be asked to do it by yourself or after school under my supervision.
Remember, choices come with consequences.
Use the checklist below to make sure you keep track of completed activities.

ACTIVITY 1: HOW BIG IS IT? My Partner(s): _______________________________________________________
1. Explore the "How Big is a...?" web page at http://www.cellsalive.com/howbig.htm (or click the link on my
web page). Here you will look at objects found on the head of a pin. Your job is to rank them in order of size
on the chart below and estimate the length of each (in nanometers, micrometers, or millimeters). The line in
the bottom right corner of the screen is used to help you estimate. Sketch each of the objects.
Use COMPLETE SENTENCES to write a brief summary of this activity, what you did and what you learned.

ACTIVITY 8: CELL FOLDABLE
Goal: To create a pictorial representation of the parts of cells, with the name of the major organelles, and a description of
their functions.
Materials:
• 12 X 18 White “poster” paper
• Markers or colored pencils
• Scissors
• Textbook
Procedures:
STEP 1: Fold poster paper in a way so that it is divided into 16 sections
STEP 2: Cut the folds on one side of the paper only
STEP 3: Draw each of the cell parts on the front of the flap as it is closed down.
STEP 4: On the back of the flap write the function of the organelle.
Example: Nucleus – This is the part of the cell that is the control
center and directs all activity.
STEP 5: Put your name on the last flap on the front.

ACTIVITY 9: THE CELL AS A SCHOOL
A cell is like our school. Each part of the cell (and school) has responsibilities that must be done and certain organelles
(people or places) to do them. Identify the function of the following parts of the cell. Then, identify which person does the
same job (or a place like it) in the school. The first one is done for you as an example to follow.

Follow the Protein
Proteins are extremely important to living things! Each of the following cell
structures has something to do with proteins. First, match the cell structure with
its protein function. You can check 16!22 of your textbook for more information.
Nucleus Some proteins needs to be altered and shipped out of the
cell. This organelle handles alterations and shipping.
Ribosome Tiny organelles that make proteins using coded messages
as their instructions.
Endoplasmic reticulum This organelle carries coded copies of the information to
make proteins.
Golgi complex When proteins are first made, many pass into this structure
for transport to other areas.
After connecting the organelles with their functions above, draw a cell below and
show the path of protein from beginning to end.
Be sure to label the cell parts that are involved!

ACTIVITY 10: CELL INSPECTOR My Partner(s): _______________________________________________________
In this activity, you will identify cell parts and microscope. Follow the directions below to receive credit for
this activity. Make sure you answer all of the questions and fill in all blanks to receive credit. Partial credit
will not be given.
Directions: Section 1
1. Go to the Cell Inspector website: http://www.harcourtschool.com/activity/cell/cell.html (or my web page).
2. Use the arrow keys provided to read the instructions in the box on the upper right. Click on the help key to
get further instructions. Follow the instructions. Once you get 100 percent on all four cells, go on to step 3.
3. Record your correct answers for each cell in the space provided on this worksheet. (Make sure you have
the right answers for the right cell. Be sure to answer the check questions. Now go on to Section 2.

Section 2 How to Use a Microscope
Now that you are familiar with cell parts we are going to get you ready to look through a microscope. After
you familiarize yourself with a microscope and how to use it, you will be looking at some practice views
through a microscope to see if you can tell plant and animal cells apart. (Hint: Remember, plants have cell wal
ls and animal cells do not.)
Directions:
1. Read through the following website to learn how to use a microscope: (on my web page)
http://shs.westport.k12.ct.us/mjvl/biology/microscope/microscope.htm
2.‐ After you have read through all of the website, fill in the answers to the blanks below. If you need help,
go to: http://www.media.pearson.com.au/schools/cw/au_sch_phillips_sci2_1/dnd/4_1_2.html
3.‐ After you have read through the website completely and answered all of the questions below, go on
to Section 3‐ Microscope Views

Section 3 Microscope Views
To prepare you for the next lab, in this section you will be looking at slides of plant and animal cells. Follow
the directions below to complete this internet activity. (Make sure you have filled in all of the
blanks in the previous sections before you start this section.)
Directions:
1.Go to: http://www.usoe.k12.ut.us/curr/science/sciber00/7th/cells/sciber/cellphot.htm
2.‐ Draw the cells you see the microscope field in the circles below. The numbers on this worksheet match the
pictures.
3. Label on the first line whether it is a Plant or an Animal cells.
(Hint: Remember that plant cells have some things that animal cells don’t.
4.‐ Explain what major characteristic(s) causes you think that they are a plant or an animal cell.
