Cell Biology Lesson Plans

Explore the concept of evolution and cell biology; your class can work in groups to use the internet to view websites on evolution, take a quiz, and complete a lab activity.

Identify the different cell organelles in prokaryotes. Modelling the cells using Jell-o and candies will be a fun way to experience the cell in a hands-on way (different to using play-doh!). They observe cells under a microscope and draw what they see.

Make a prototype of a game based on cell biology. Researching game design and working in groups to create a game will activate knowledge of cell biology. The review task will help students learning as they test out the games and their conclusion skills as they review and rate.

Students examine water properties and and how they relate to freezing.  In this cell biology lesson students complete a lab experiment. 

Learners study and explore the cell and its functions.  In this investigative students engage with the teacher over a powerpoint presentation and learn about cells and proteins. 

Ninth graders use online tutorials, class discussion, presentations and scientific articles to explore types of cells along with cell structure, function and behavior. They explore ethical questions related to cells and disease.

Do you need to review animal cell structure? Investigate the ways in which different types of cells interact in a common human reflex. Your students can explore the functions of stem cells, consider various illnesses and assess stem cells potential to aid in cures. This lesson uses resources from a textbook along with research on the internet and index cards (not included) as a source of information.

Learners use the internet to review the sequence of normal meiosis. They discuss what would happen if meiosis did not happen when the gametes unite at fertilization. Students watch as the teacher demonstrates what happens in a generalize gametogenesis meiosis reduction division. They relate the various combinations of heads and tails to chromosome reshuffling.

Students read about the medical history of various children. In this health care activity series, students analyze their medical condition and research a possible treatment plan. They outline their findings and discuss them in class.

By exploring the latest research on cell and tissue renewal your young scientists can understand the various internal body parts and systems examined in these studies.
