Cell Organelles Station Lab

Nine stations your students rotate through on their own. They watch, read, explore and research their way through organelles, then show you what they know in four output stations. You set it out once and then you get to walk around and talk to kids.

  • All nine stationsFour input, four output and the Challenge It! bonus, printed and ready to set on the tables.
  • Student answer sheetsOne per student. They write as they go, so you can see the thinking, not just the answer.
  • Teacher setup and answer keyHow to run it, what to put where, and every answer worked out.
Cell Organelles station lab cards: animal cell model, organelle table and plant cell model

Print once, laminate the cards, and it comes back out every year. The models and the organelle cards do the heavy lifting.
