Parts of a Cell

Author Post

Hello! I am a pre-service teacher considering teaching upper elementary or middle school. I am looking for any ideas on teaching 5th graders about the parts of the cells and their function. My goal is to help students build conceptual understanding. What resources or strategies do you use to teach this? Activities, songs, models, or games?

I like to teach them that a cell is like a city. If one part doesn't do it's job (function) then problems occur.Lots of online resources for this!
