Specialised Cells Card Sort

A great way for students to learn about the features of a variety of specialised cells found in animals and plants.

The specialised cell card sort is comprised of 3 cards for each cell type [an image, the term and its adaptation]. Simply print and then cut out the set of cards [laminate if you wish to make class sets]. Students then shuffle the cards and sort them into their correct sets. Comes with a color and alternative black and white set as well as 3 blank cards to add your own specialized cell.

Works great as a starter activity or plenary. Could also be used for concentration and snap.

1. Nerve cell [neuron]
2. Ciliated epithelial cell
