Cellular Nucleus Teacher Resources

Despite their microscopic size, eukaryotic cells are probably one of the most complex systems ever! Explore the structure and function of the major organelles of eukaryotic cells — the nucleus, ER, ribosomes, golgi complex, lysosomes,...

When DNA research first began, it required almost an entire day to extract the molecules from a cell nucleus. Now it requires less than an hour. Scholars learn about the early theories of DNA with an online interactive, videos,...

Young scientists take a trip into the microscopic world of cellular biology with this practice exercise. Given pictures of different organelles, students must correctly identify specific parts of each cellular structure to demonstrate...

Incorporate multiple facets of the cell into your next high school lab! Through an introduction to cell organelles, class members observe each cell type and draw visuals to further demonstrate understanding of cellular processes in both...

Why are we here? Well, if you happen to be a Golgi body, the answer is simple! Young biologists embark upon a journey through the tiny world of cellular organelles with an engaging lesson from the K20 series. The activities open with an...

Cellular transport and activity are highlighted with vivid images taken by a microscope. Some animation and other footage is shown as well to discuss the inner workings of a cell. Begin your biology class with this introduction to cells.

Proving microscopic structures exist is a difficult task. Learn how scientists did just that in the mid-1800s as they set out to identify the cellular structures related to genetics. The online lesson explains the collection of work that...

The human body contains more than 200 types of cells, and plants contain many other unique types of cells. While a huge variety of cells exist, they appear to have very similar structures. A detailed presentation describes the structure...

In this biology worksheet, learners locate and identify each of the vocabulary terms relating to cells on the bottom of the sheet. There are 27 biology terms to locate in the word search.

Paul Andersen conveys the complexity of the cell and its organelles, explaining the function of each in detail. Hear how all the parts work together to help a eukaryotic cell operate. Use this video in a high school biology class for an...

What do a bird, an egg, a rabbit, and a toad all have in common? This fun-filled resource explains the similarities and differences between cells and how all cells are similar, yet all are different. Learners begin by depicting a...

In this cellular respiration worksheet, students answer 14 multiple choice questions related to aerobic and anaerobic respiration.

Most of the details about the cell structures in this video are given along with information about the function and their relationship with each other. Sal differentiates between eukaryotes and prokaryotes.

Familiarize young biologists with the inner workings of eukaryotic cells with this vocabulary learning exercise. By cutting out and matching a series of definitions and memorization tips to the organelles listed in the provided table,...

Stimulate critical thinking about the proteins that are active within eukaryotic cells. Biology masters explain where DNA is found, its relationship to RNA, how the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi bodies interact, and more. They also...

What is the difference between plant and animal cells? Explore their details as your class views the short video segment. They compare the features of plant and animal cells including the nucleus, nucleolus, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi...

Have you ever wondered about the texture of a cell? It turns out the squishiness of a cell can be used to detect cancer. The video highlights cellular research that will hopefully one day help treat cancer.

Students explore the justification for the development of the current taxonomic classification system of organisms. The specific characteristics of the organism are used for the classification process.

Students conduct a series of activities to explore the nature of cells. In this biology lesson, students observe plant and animal cells under the microscope and compare them. They differentiate osmosis and diffusion.

Students explore the numerous functions of cells in both plants and animals. Following a pre-assessment, they construct cell models and examine onion cell slides stained with iodine or dye. After participating in experiments on how to...

Students explore the basic unit of life, the cell in this nine lessons unit. The cell structure of animal and plant cell functions and how they affect our world are probed in this unit.

Initially, general details about cells and single cell organisms are provided. Next, the concentration becomes cellular processes such as respiration, osmosis, diffusion, fission and mitosis.  This is an attractive PowerPoint which gives...

Feeling confined by your current cell-teaching strategies? Try an interactive inquiry-based plan! Young cellular biologists explore the different types of cells, plus their structures and functions in a hands-on computer modeling...

In this cells worksheet, learners review cell organelles and their functions plus the different processes that take place within cells. This worksheet has 9 matching and 5 true or false questions.
