Plant and animal cells

An introduction to the differences between plant and animal cells and the functions of cell organelles. It is ideal to use with KS3. The first activity is a starter to remind students of some different cell organelles. Students then use microscopes to make and label drawings of plant and animal cells which they then compare. 

There is a worksheet which can be used to summarise the similarities and differences between plant and animal cells and the functions of parts of the cell. The resource can be used with KS3 or as revision and review with KS4 students.
