About the Game
Cell Command is a cell biology learning game aligned to Common Core and Next Generation Science standards. Shrink down to a microscopic size and captain a ship, leading your intrepid crew through the human body. Explore cells while managing DNA duplication and other cellular processes. Learn the role of critical cell structures including the membrane, mitochondria, golgi complex, and ribosomes as you return your team safely to the station.
Learning Objectives
- Investigate, understand, and explain cell theory.
- Identify the structures and functions of major animal cell organelles.
- Relate the structure of a specialized cell to the function which that cell performs.
- Describe the functions performed by cells needed to sustain a living organism.
"I think that it is a fantastic program that explains the complexity of Biology in a fun and interactive manner."

Develop and use a model to describe the function of a cell as a whole and ways parts of cells contribute to the function.LS1.A: Structure and Function
- Within cells, special structures are responsible for particular functions, and the cell membrane forms the boundary that controls what enters and leaves the cell. (MS-LS1-2)

All living things are composed of cells, from just one to many millions, whose details usually are visible only through a microscope.5C/M2a
Cells repeatedly divide to make more cells for growth and repair.5C/M3a
Within cells, many of the basic functions of organisms—such as extracting energy from food and getting rid of waste—are carried out.
