This module tackles a complex subject, makes
it interesting and facilitates learning. Cells and their
components are brought to life for middle and secondary school
students with inquiry-based learning that both engages and
informs.
Stunning 3D models and excellent photographs clarify difficult
concepts. Detailed information is available on specific organelles
with fascinating insights on how these affect the student.
Inquiry-based learning is supported by three interactive
exercises:
 Build-a-Cell
Selecting from over 20 structures, students can build a plant,
animal and prokaryotic cell. They must consider the role
of each component in creating a fully functioning cell.
Support information is provided for each cell structure,
with interesting facts, stunning 3D models, photographs
and micrographs to enhance engagement.
Linking Structure and Function
Provided with eight separate cellular functions, students
must select the relevant organelles that allow a plant
cell to perform that function.
Cell Specialization
Evaluation of data sets on cell composition and an understanding
of the varied nature of different cell types come together
in this exercise that has students again consider how different
cells fill differing roles.
Standard features
Cell Structure & Function has a range of standard
features from built-in
assessment to definitions for every word. It also has full
accessibility, allowing the program to be used by students
of all abilities, including the blind and physically-challenged.
Text-to-speech, captioning, full keyboard control and even
compatibility with switch devices are all included in the
standard program.
Cell Structure & Function is intended for use as supporting
material to be used in conjunction with your current textbooks
and other teaching materials. This module assumes an introductory
knowledge of cell biology.
