This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can use it to understand the structure of a plant cell. The purpose of this activity is to create an accurate representation of the shape and characteristics of plant cells. The cell models provide both tactile and kinesthetic feedback for students learning the structure of the cell. The bright colors and good contract also work well for students with low vision.

In this lesson, students use the app, Powers of Minus Ten Bone, to discover the innerworkings of cells and their organelles. Exploration of the app is guided with the use of a scaffolded worksheet as well as a class discussion. Later in the lesson, student groups are assigned a specific organelle and use the information contained in the app to draw similarities and differences between the buildings in a city to the organelles inside a cell. Students will construct a clay model of an organelle as well as a model of a city building. Finally, student groups are asked to present their work via a class presentation followed by a creative writing assignment.
