About This Reader
This NGSS-aligned reading passage introduces middle school students to the structure and function of the Golgi apparatus. It explains how the Golgi body receives proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum, modifies and packages them, and ships them to their proper destinations inside or outside the cell. The text uses clear examples and comparisons, such as likening the Golgi to a post office, to make complex ideas easier to understand. This passage supports NGSS standard MS-LS1-1 by helping students explore the relationship between cell structure and function and builds science literacy with vocabulary, comprehension activities, and real-world connections.
