Using stunning computer imagery, this resource introduces life science learners to cells. It zeros in on the animal cell and the function of its more prominent organelles. Additional support is offered in the form of a self-assessment...

Here is a fantastic, informative, interactive presentation on plant and animal cells. The PowerPoint is produced by an elementary school teacher who has a doctorate in science, and it shows! This would be a splendid presentation to use...

View attractive, three-dimensional models of an animal cell, a bacterium, or a plant cell. Suspended in a translucent, undulating cytoplasm, are all of the major organelles for life science learners to examine. They can zoom in, click on...

Students investigate parts of a cell. In this plant cell lesson, students determine the difference between plant and animal cells. Students discover that coral is an animal based on cell characteristics. Students create puppets to...

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.

Students create simple 2D concept driven visualizations of cells and cell organelles and organize them into an effective presentation.

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.

Organelles, cellular respiration, ATP, and DNA. The passage attached to this life science reading comprehension worksheet is all about cells. After reading about diffusion and osmosis, kids answer a series of questions based on the text.

In this cells activity, students click on the links to learn about the plant and animal cells complete a comparison chart and answer short answer questions about it. Students complete 10 questions total.

Students explore the parts of a cell. They identify the structures of plant and animal cells. Students explain the functions of plant and animal cells. They compare and contrast animal cells to plant cells. Students create a model of the...

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.

Students learn about cells. For this cells lesson plan, students take several days to learn about plant and animal cells and make their own edible cells with a cookie and icing.

Fifth graders search into animal and cell characteristics and their functions in this seven lesson unit. Replicas of the cell are constructed out of Jell-O as students probe the internet for details of the concepts.

Students explore biology by identifying a diagram. In this cell anatomy lesson, students read a story about archeology and conduct a fictitious archeology dig in class in which they search for animal cells. Students define a list of...

Fifth graders, in groups, create a plant or animal cell out of cookies, frosting, and candy pieces.

Students recognize that all living things are made up of cell and that they cannot easily be seen by the naked eye. Students become familiar with the use of microscopes as a tool for investigation.

This is a thorough site which contains a glossary of plant/animal cell anatomy terms. Diagrams of both cells are included along with worksheets to label.

Investigate plant and animal cells by clicking on the different organelles to learn how their structure affects the function of the cell.

Students use guided scientific observation using a collection of models, visual material, and microscope slides to identify cell organelles. Then they demonstrate their understanding of the parts/characteristics of cells by identifying...

In story form, this site examines the similarities and differences among bacteria, plant cells, and animal cells. Drawings supplement the text for clarity purposes.

This site provides a brief explanation of what a eukaryotic cell is along with detailed picture of a plant and animal cell.
