Cell Game
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...
Curated OER
Cells, Cells, Cells
Students explore plant and animal cells. Using household items, students create a three-dimensional model of a plant or animal cell. Students identify and label each cell part.
Alabama Learning Exchange
Edible Cell
Students identify cell parts and their function. In this animal cell lesson, students view a video clip and discuss cell components. Students create an edible replica of an animal cell using food items.
Curated OER
Cell Me What?
Students compare and contrast the characteristics of robots and cells. In this biology activity, students examine the parts and function of cell organelles. They create a visual representation of their cell/robot analogy.
Curated OER
Cell Pizza
Learners identify parts and functions of microscope. Students watch video, Cells and Life about cell parts with actual pictures and actual cells. Learners discuss video and identify parts of the cells that animals and plants have in...
Curated OER
Cellular Models
Each student construct a model of a cell on a large cookie, including the parts which were discussed during lecture.? Half of the class will be instructed to make plant cell models and the other half will be in charge of animal cell...

Science Lessons for Grade 10
Tenth graders identify the parts and functions of the cell. In this series of science lessons, 10th graders investigate crystal formation in covalent compounds. They investigate the factors affecting reaction rates.
Curated OER
Cell Parts
Students identify parts of a cell. For this biology lesson, students create a simulated cell by using Jell-o, fruit roll ups, raisins, gum drops, and M&M's. Students construct the simulated cell and identify each part.
Curated OER
Nerve Cell Informercials
Students research the structure and function of the nervous system. They prepare a model or representation of neural transmission. Students create an infomercial about nerve cells.
Curated OER
Cell (Biology)
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.
Curated OER
Baby Cell Facts of Life
Students examine the roles of an animal cell's parts, how each part relates to one another and then demonstrate their knowledge by writing a story about the animal cell structure.
Curated OER
The Cell
Tenth graders explore the parts of a cell. In pairs, classmates construct a model of a eukaryotic cell, detailing its morphology and function. With the use of computer technology, 10th graders create cell book for middle schoolers. ...
Curated OER
Parts of the Cell
Students examine plant and animal cells to observe the organelles present in the cell, to match the function of each to the organelle on a cell model and to build a model of the plant or animal cell.
Curated OER
Charlie and the Cell City
Learners investigate the major components of the cell and their function through an adventure inside the cell with an imaginary little guy named "Charlie." Through the use of the Internet and viewing a video, students identify components...
Curated OER
Constructing a Cell
Third graders, in groups, make a model of a plant or animal cells and represent each of the organelles in the cell.
Curated OER
Cell Project
Students investigate cells. They discover what cells are, where they are found, what they do and what they are made of. They construct a giant cell that is posted on the bulletin board.
Curated OER
Cell Factory
Young scholars examine the basic structures and functions of cells. They design and construct a factory cell model where each factory part corresponds to a cell part.
