At last! All those little specialised cells for both plants and animals on one card sort!

This card sort has the name, structure, function and a picture of each specialised cell that students need to know for KS3 and GCSE.
I use this resource for both my Year 7s and for my Year 10 Applied Science BTEC group - because these same cells are present in the curriculum for both groups.

The resource can be used in oodles of different ways;
- Students can sort and stick in. Perhaps even get them to research and add appropriate colours to the different parts.
-You can make 'pair sets' (one between two students), laminate them and use them over and over for starters or plenaries.
-You can clip and place onto a slide for students to pair up for games of splat (put picture and function of cell and students need to put their hand on both when the name of the cell is said).
-You can keep the first column as a solid strip and only cut up the others (or do this with any column) to make it easier.
-If you haven't taught the topic yet, you can give them the cards, and a CGP book and get them to work out which card goes with which: that way also giving them some access to literacy within Science.
-Use it any way you can think of!

I find interactive learning is certainly the best way, and these cards facilitate the learning of students so that they can discover specialised cells for themselves!

Great info but it's in the correct order and saved as a PDF (which cant be edited) so you have to cut them up to use it rather than having the student colour code.

I loved this card sort for my Unit 1 Applied Science BTEC set. The textbook has some, but not all, and having the card sort meant that I could help them get it into their heads without having to nag them to look at the textbook. <br /> Thank you for this - great, authentic pictures! Love the clean, precise, no-frills style of your stuff!
