| Annotated by: Olivia Herring | |
| 1. | Cell Structures - Quizzes, diagrams, videos, and activities http://www.neok12.com/Cell-Structures.htm
This website is wonderful because it provides students with practice quizzes which can be taken in preparation for their test. There are many videos that students can watch that do a great job of explaining cell structure and function. This is beneficial for students who may be more visual learners, because it provides more interesting detail and graphics than the teacher can a lesson. There are also practice labeling sheets which will be extremely beneficial for students preparing for tests in which they have to label cell parts, and games to make learning fun.

| 2. | Mitosis Basketball Review Game http://sciencereviewgames.com/srg/games/hs.php?id=127
This website is a great study tool because it provides a fun and engaging way for students to study. It takes the information that teachers would normally print out in a study guide and turns it into an interactive game. This website is important because it shows students that learning can be fun, and it actually uses relevant facts/questions.
|
| 3. | The Mitosis Rap https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOsAbTi9tHw
This hyperlink will direct students to an education YouTube video about cell mitosis. Mitosis is always discussed in conjunction with the cells, and it can be very complicated to understand. Putting this information into a song can help students memorize and recall the information more easily.
|
| 4. | Virtual Cell Tour http://vcell.ndsu.nodak.edu/animations/flythrough/closer.htm
This website provides a virtual tour of the cell and its organelles. It allows students to actually see things that would not be possible to see in a regular classroom setting. It also provides more advanced information and concepts that will allow students who are progressing more quickly in the lesson to find more information and continue their learning. It also gives a link to the app version for on-the-go information.
|
| 5. | Cell Parts and Function Quizlet http://quizlet.com/7781906/cell-parts-and-functions-test-flash-cards/
This link directs students to a previously made Quizlet (a set of online note cards). This website is wonderful because students can use the "note cards" that are already available or choose to make their own. It provides a great study tool that can be saved and shared between students in the classroom so that everyone has the same information. It also provides a feature to turn the terms a student needs to learn into a game called "Space Race".
