Levels of Cellular Organization
What an eccentric way to learn about each level of cellular organization! Allow emerging biologists to utilize white paper and create their own foldable charts to describe each level of organization in the body. You may also adapt the...
Curated OER
Cell-O
Students create model cells using gelatin, toothpicks, and various fruits to represent organelles. Then, students observe their models and complete a Venn Diagram comparing and contrasting plant and animal cells.
Curated OER
Slimy Cells
Students create three-dimensional cell models. They may choose to make either a plant or animal cell but must use a Ziploc bag as the cell membrane, slime for the cytoplasm, and strawberry baskets for the cell wall if making a plant...
Curated OER
Cell Cookie Lesson Plan
Students review the structure and fuctions of plant and animal cells. They use various types of materials such as sugar cookies and cake frosting for this lesson.
Curated OER
Cells & Their Function
Students review cell theory, identify major organelles found in typical cell, describe function of each major organelle, compare plant and animal cells, and demostrate understanding that cancer is caused by uncontrolled division of cells.

Biology: Make a Model Cell
Students compare and contrast plant and animal cells and then create a model of the latter. They visit Websites to view the cells and answer questions about them. In pairs, students create cell models using plastic baggies, syrup,...
Curated OER
Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells
Students compare and contrast prokaryotes and eukaryotes. They name the organelles that are present in prokaryotes only and identify their functions. Students label the diagrams of the prokaryotic cell and the eukaryotic cell.
Curated OER
Looking Inside Cells
Seventh graders analyze and identify the role of the cell membrane and nucleus. They create flash cards to help them review cell structures. They also compare plant and animal cells.
