Cells Alive has a good cell animation to assist with this workshop. Toggle between plant and animal cells
Use the same colour for the same organelles to be able to compare and contrast plant and animal cells. Note that animal cells contain vacuoles but they are much smaller than the vacuoles found in plant cells. Animal cells do not contain chloroplasts or a cell wall.
Suggested colours Cell membrane (very pale yellow or leave blank), Endoplasmic Reticulum (dark yellow), Nucleus (blue and the Nucleolus centre dark blue), Ribosomes (brown), Cytosol (pale pink), Mitachondria (orange and red squiggly line), Lysosomes (light brown), Golgi Apparatus (dark pink), Centrosomes (pale orange),
Chloroplasts (dark green), Vacuole (lavender) and Cell Wall (fluro green)
Colour in the sheet using the suggested colour scheme in your booklet and compare the similarities and differences between plant and animals cells
