Guess Who? Cells Unit: An Engaging Education Resource

Guess Who? Cells Unit is a unique science-based game, the perfect interactive tool for educators seeking engaging classroom materials. Inspired by the popular game "Guess Who?", this resource allows students to review cells and organelles concepts in an exciting digital format.

A Game-like Approach to Cellular Biology Principles

This fun, educational guessing game encourages students to identify various organelles based on strategic questions. Questions like "Do animal cells have your organelle?" or "Do plant cells have your organelle?" are posed to peers, provoking thought stimulation and knowledge recall.

Conveniently Designed For Google Slides™️

The resource is easy-to-use with features designed specifically for Google Slides™️. To begin the game, each student creates a copy of the slides and selects their respective organelles; then they fit this chosen card into the large yellow question mark.

  • In a marked variation from physical play where cards are closed when clues don't match assumptions about opponents' organs,

  • In this digital version, students 'delete' irrelevant cards from contention instead!

Captivating All Grades From 9 through 12

This power-packed tool suits grades ranging from 9 through 12 due it's blend of advanced science topics combined with a user-friendly interface. Though primarily targeted at Science education specifically Anatomy–its flexible nature allows for use within other curriculums as well!

The Fun Way To Learn Science!

An innovative educational tool that also doubles up as entertainment – making learning more enjoyable in both public school settings and homeschooling environments alike – thus ensuring retention alongside recreation.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Identify human body organs and systems by name (e.g., skull, brain, heart, lungs, kidneys) through a guessing-game format.

  • Identify cell organelles by name (e.g., nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes) through a guessing-game format.

Teaching tips

  • Since the file contains two separate term sets, decide whether to run the human-body-systems cards and the cell-organelle cards as one combined game or as two separate rounds.

  • Print and cut the term grid into individual cards before play, since each cell in the grid represents one guessable term.

  • Pair each printed term card with a labeled diagram or textbook image for less-familiar students, since the cards themselves are text-only.

Skills covered

  • Human anatomy vocabulary — students recognize and question about body organs and systems such as the skull, brain, heart, and kidneys.

  • Cell biology vocabulary — students recognize and question about organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplasts, and ribosomes.

  • Deductive questioning — the guess-who format named in the product itself calls for narrowing down a hidden term through a sequence of yes/no questions.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

What two topics do the term cards cover?

Two — one card grid covers human body systems and organs (skull, brain, heart, lungs, and more), and a second covers cell organelles (nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplasts, and more).
