Color the Parts of a Plant Cell

Bring a plant cell to life by coloring each organelle in this middle-grade worksheet! Students will read definitions of nine different organelles within a plant cell, such as the nucleus, mitochondrion, and endoplasmic reticulum. Then, learners will use the color key to correctly color in each organelle.

This activity helps students recognize the parts of a plant cell. Through hands-on modeling, young scientists can understand the function, appearance, and location of each organelle. This worksheet also supports systems thinking by encouraging students to see the parts of a cell as components of a larger system.
