#TeachingTuesday with Haynes Academy for Advanced Studies Students in Ms. Fortmayer’s sixth grade science classes were making models of plant and animal cells using materials from a recent DonorsChoose project. Learning about plant and animal cells through creating models is essential for students' understanding of cellular biology. Building these models provides a hands-on way to visualize and explore the structures of cells, like nuclei, mitochondria, and chloroplasts. This approach engages students actively, prompting critical thinking as they consider organelle shapes, sizes, and functions. Collaborative model-making activities also foster teamwork and communication skills. Overall, constructing cell models enhances learning by making complex concepts more tangible and encouraging creativity in studying biology. #JPSchools #TT #MiddleSchool #Science #6thGrade #PlantCells #AnimalCells #models #ChooseJPSchools
