Cell biology is a rapidly developing complex field of science, the basics of which students in the second grade of elementary school often come into contact within the sixth grade. Due to the difficulty, the curriculum is often abbreviated, which can be confusing for students in later years. Since the subject matter is abstract, many students have problems understanding it. The goal of this diploma thesis was to create a didactic board game focused on the construction of an animal cell, which will serve as teaching material primarily in the 6th year of elementary school.

Throughout the game, the pupils get to know the construction of a cell on a wider scale than is usually the case in primary schools. They work together in a group, travel through the cell and collect building materials, for which they get cards with organelles. While playing the game, they discover that the cell contains a large number of parts, each of which has a clear role in the life of the cell. Students will learn more about the...
