Parts of Cell. Submitted By : Sheila Sairem TGT Sc. JNV Imphal West.

Learning Outcomes

1.    Students will identify the different parts of the cell.

2.    They will be able to define Organelle.

3.    Students will know the function of the organelles and can apply their knowledge in the functioning of the cell.

4.    Students will understand the difference of prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

5.    Students will develop the skill of creating activities integrating sports in the study of the cell.

6.    Students will be encouraged to develop team spirit, collaboration and communication skill.

Description Of Activity

Students will be divided into different groups. Each group will make a placard indicating the name of representation on one side and   on the other side their main functional role.

 

1.      Group A (Cell membrane) consisting of 12 students  with Red T-shirt will form a circle leaving some small gaps in between.

2.      Nucleus will consists of 9 students with Blue T-shirt.

-        4 students (nuclear membrane) will make a small circle leaving some gaps in between. Inside the circle one student will represent (nucleolus) and another one will represent nuclear reticulum.

-        3 students will move freely (walking ) in their own ways to represent (nucleoplasm) .During movement one student may move out through the gaps of the membrane.

 

 

         

3.    Cytoplasm:

Consisting of 5 (five)students with White Shirts . They move in different directions. 2(two) students may move out through the membrane.

4.    Mitochondria:

Represented by One student  with Green T-shirt.

5.        Endoplasmic Reticulum ,represented by one student with Yellow T-shirt

6.         Ribosome represented by a student with school uniform.

7.         Lysosome represented by a student with Black T-shirt

8.         Golgi Apparatus represented by a student with Checked shirt.

9.         Vacuole represented by a student with Track shirt.

10.      8 (eight) students will move about outside the cell membrane trying to enter through.

Activity –

1.           A court in the form of a circle will be made with a smaller circle and 6 points inside at different locations by 2 students under the guidance of the teacher.

2.           40 (forty) students gathered in the playfield.

3.           Drum beat  done by the teacher .

4.           As the drum beat starts –

- 06 students  with different colours of shirt  representing - mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes , lysosomes, golgi apparatus, vacuole will come out running to occupy their position in the court, followed by -

- 09 students with blue T-shirt  will occupy the smaller circle inside, where 04 students form the boundary of the circle leaving small gaps in between.They will be representing Nuclear membrane. Inside it 03 students will be moving about forming Nucleoplasm. 02 students will be occupying two different position and each of them  will be representing Nucleolus and Nuclear reticulum.

- 08 students with white shirts move about in different directions inside the large circle forming Cytoplasm.

- 12 ( twelve ) students with red T-shirt will form the boundary representing Cell Membrane.

- Of the 8 students forming cytoplasm 2/3 students may move out through the boundary while others are unable.

- The remaining students  will occupy different position outside the circle and move about trying to move inside.

5.        Drum beat stops when all the students occupy their position.

6.        A member of the Nucleus gives command  to all  to introduce their groups and their role one by one.

 

Variations

-No.of students  can be changed as per our convenience.

- Any physical activity can be given to each group.

- Colour of the shirt can be given as per our convenience.

- Time period of drum beat .

Coaching Tips

-Students can discuss about the difference between Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes.

- Students can also find out the difference between Plant and Animal cell.

- Students are to be trained properly and instructed in advance.
