Classroom Considerations

• Class members should have a basic knowledge of cell structures and their functions
• Either provide color pencils or have the class members bring their own

Pros

• The activities are kinesthetic in nature
• The resource contains questions to connect the activity back to the challenge question

Cons

• None
