Whole Brain Learning Cell Organelles

(11/14): Mrs. Whitworth's 6th grade scientists are putting their brains—and their bodies—to work learning cell organelles! Through whole brain learning, an approach that combines speaking, listening, seeing, and movement to reinforce understanding, students are using gestures, repetition, and lively explanations to make learning stick.
From the Mighty Mitochondria, which supply usable energy, to the Bossy Nucleus, which directs cell activities, each organelle has a job—and a little personality! With hands moving and voices joining in, students are discovering how these tiny parts keep cells running. Who knew something microscopic could lead to such BIG learning? Now that’s something to cell-ebrate!
