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...

Though it isn't a novel activity to prepare onion cell and Elodea plant cell slides as examples of cells in a microbiology unit, this resource will leave you thoroughly prepared. As pupils examine the slides that they prepare, they draw...

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...

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

The billions of cells that make up all living things are the focus of this resource. Understanding the differences between the cells that make up plants and animals is an important distinction; it is covered here quite-well. Some...

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...

Introduce students to cells, and their many parts in this biology presentation. Students see that plant and animal cells have many of the same type of structures, but also have many differences as well. They will be challenged to state...

Do you have early finishers asking what they can do next, or any budding scientists eager to learn more about plant and animal cells? Then here is a cell unit for you! The packet provides scholars with everything they need in order...

Fifth graders examine plant and animal cells. In this plant and animal cell lesson, 5th graders define what cells are, label their parts, and describe how plant and animal cells are different. They observe cells at a number of web sites,...

Learners 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.

In this science graphic organizer worksheet, students fill in a Venn Diagram by comparing plant and animal cells. They use the words from the word bank to fill in each portion of the graphic organizer. They use words such as...

In this science graphic organizer worksheet, students complete a KWL chart for a study of plant and animal cells. They record what they know, what they want to know, and what they learned.

In this comparing plant cells and animal cells instructional activity, students view cells from their cheeks and cells from elodea. A Venn diagram reveals similarities and differences between the cells.

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

Students research both plant and animal cell characteristics. They draw the parts of each cell and as groups present their research.

In this biology activity, learners read about the parts of both plant and animal cells and examine cell diagrams. They read about the function of cell parts before answering 11 online fill in the blank questions.

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.

Students identify the different types of animal and plant cells.  In this cell instructional activity students label the different cells and their functions. 

In this cells worksheet, 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.

Learners explore the function and structures of cells, including plant and animal cells. They explore cell parts including cell wall, ribosomes, chromosomes, nucleoid, plasmids, flagella, pilli, and plasma membrane, cel

Students explore the world of the very small using a Flash plug-in Virtual Electron Microscope. They complete and discuss an activity in which unknown samples are placed under the computer simulated microscope to determine where the...

Learners discuss scientific advances brought about by the Mars Surveyor Space Program which impact on daily life, identify laboratory apparatus like microscopes, slides and coverslips, and use the microscopes to view cells and organisms.

Learners view a short video from www.unitedstreaming.com. They then construct parts of a cell by building a model of an animal and plant cell using regular household materials.
