Animal and Plant Cells: Vocab / Definition Matching - Year 7-8

The worksheet is used as a vocabulary building exercise for Year 7 to 8 students learning about the names and function of animal and plant cells.

The cards have a word and a matching definition. Students cut out the cards and clip them together. This activity has proved to be popular with students and is a very effective way to learn a set of key vocabulary / concepts in a relatively short space of time. It can be done at first in small groups and then individually for more challenge. Students match while the teacher circulates and checks or give hints.
