Cell Transport Stations Lab

This cell transport stations lab is the perfect way to get your students up, moving, and engaging with the content in hands-on, interactive ways.

Students will explore key processes of cell transport—like diffusion, osmosis, and active transport—through ten low-prep cell transport stations that use simple materials already found in most classrooms.

This cell transport stations lab is unique because all stations include necessary background information with important content, definitions, examples, and more! This makes for a great no-prior-knowledge needed activity! Perfect for engaging students before, during, or after teaching a cell transport unit.

Your download includes ten text-editable stations, editable student handouts, a teacher’s guide and lesson plan, and Google Slides version of the activity.

This activity is included in my ready-to-go cells unit – on sale now!
