Plant and Animal Cells: 3D Observation Lab
Rotate, section and isolate cell structures, then compare plant and animal cells to connect their structures with their functions.
What to exploreRotate and section models to compare cell structures.
Rotate the models to locate cell structures and use sectioning or isolation to reduce occlusion. Compare plant and animal cells while linking identification with function.
Using it in classFind shared features and explain their functions.
For secondary biology lessons on cell structures, organelles and plant–animal comparisons.
Have students record shared structures before examining differences. Each group can choose an organelle and explain its role using the model.
