The differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are explained and the parts of each are highlighted. Discover the major organelles found in an animal cell and each of their functions. Paul Andersen does an excellent job once...

The development of the male and female gametes in a plant is illustrated, explaining plant fertilization, pollination, and reproduction. Overall, get a complete picture of the life cycle of a flowering plant with some wonderful details...

Explore the nervous system's workings by first looking at the brain and its two hemispheres. Using the example of a split-brain surgery done for epilepsy, the function of language and vision is shown with an interactive component. Paul...

This simplified explanation is an entertaining way to see how viruses reproduce in the human body. Brilliant animation and humorous commentary will keep your junior high class engaged while they observe the basics about viruses. Follow...

A neat lab sheet introduces cell biologists to the general structure of both animal and plant cells. They draw and label what they observe under high power. You will need to provide slides of cheek cells, onion cells, Elodea, and Volvox....

Now, this is a clever approach to understanding cell organelles; seven pairs of organelles are listed, and pupils write an explanation of how each pair cooperates to perform certain cell functions. Organelles include the nucleus,...

Watch as an animated cell goes through the process of mitosis as DNA coils and bunches into chromosomes. Once the nuclear membranes dissolve, spindles pull chromatids to opposite sides and stretch the cell. The video ends as mitosis...

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...

Different cells have different shapes for their individual purposes. Look at the variety of cells and the structures inside as you examine these diagrams and microscopic images. Each part of a cell is explained according to its function.

Meiosis is explained while video animation illustrates the different phases. Discuss with your biologists how meiosis is different than mitosis as you watch this clip.

Paul Andersen uses beads to demonstrate mitosis and meiosis. He explains the differences between the two and physically moves the beads around to represent the pulling apart of chromosomes and duplication. Get a clear understanding of...

This quiz just looks neat! It has two cell diagrams for biology class members to label. They also describe the function of each organelle. A prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell are displayed for them to compare, and then they fill in the...

"Microscope Man" is the story of a microscopic adventurer who journeys through the interior of a cell. This is a clever approach to reviewing the structure of a plant cell! After reading the story, cell biologists answer questions in...

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...

Students observe slides of cork cells and discuss the use of microscopes. They view a power point presentation on "Looking Inside Cells" and take notes aligned with the PPT presentation. They collaborate with a partner to create an...

Review general biology concepts with this fun version of Jeopardy. There are actually two separate games within this set of slides. The first covers scientific method, ecology, properties of water, and enzymes, while the second covers...

Get up close and personal with human cells with this lab worksheet. Learners use a microscope to examine their own cheek cells, drawing diagrams of the cells and identifying the parts when they have focused in on a visible specimen....

Your students should enjoy this slideshow which includes some basic definitions about the atomic structure of atoms. In fact, this presentation would be best-viewed before giving details and diagrams of neutrons, protons and quarks. The...

Watch as cells split beneath a microscope. This nineteen-second clip does not have narration or music, but it gives a fascinating look at mitosis. Use this in a high school biology class to demonstrate what mitosis really looks like.

This quick clip of a lung cell splitting under a microscope is rapidly discussed as it is shown. Microscopic imaging lends us a thrilling close-up of the mitotic process as it is explained. Show this clip to an advanced biology class.

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.

Cell biologists match 21 cell structures to their descriptions. The instructional activity isn't the most attractive in appearance, but the definitions of the organelles are appropriate. Because this is a matching instructional activity,...

Atoms make up everything, and here is almost everything a beginning chemist needs to know about them! By viewing this set of slides, pupils learn about atom structure down to the level of quarks. They see a variety of atomic structure...

In this countdown challenge instructional activity, students find the 10 common elements from the human body, earth's crust, and ancient times and color code them. Students fill the atomic number of the elements in a given periodic table.
