Seventh graders engage in a lesson that is concerned with the basic structure and function of the cell. They systematically cover the different parts of the cell that includes active transport, organelles, mitosis, and meiosis. The...

In this homeostasis and plasma membrane worksheet, 9th graders identify and solve 11 different vocabulary terms and definitions. They review the definitions of the words listed and then use the clues to complete the puzzle shown....

In this spelling list worksheet, students practice spelling words that are sight words, suffix -able, and vocabulary. Students practice spelling 21 words total.

Students explore the means of transportation available in the 19th century and its role as both facilitator and enabler of the westward expansion. They create a project board illustrating their findings.

Students explore the Iceland volcanic eruption that halted European transportation in 2010. In this transportation lesson, students read an article about the event and then discuss the impact of the event. Extension activity suggestions...

Learners investigate and explain the differences active transport versus passive transport. This lesson includes an individual and group activity. The basic steps of electrophores is the focus of inquiry. Identification of the pure...

In this biology worksheet, students look at the function of filtering in the nephron of the kidneys and the biochemistry is emphasized.

In this detecting disease worksheet, students will review the different tools scientists use to identify diseases including the steps of Koch's postulates. This worksheet has 14 fill in the blank and 4 short answer questions.

In this cell fluid balance activity, students read about how fluids are transported in and out of a cell through the cellular membrane. Students compare cells that are isotonic, hypertonic, and hypotonic. This activity has 3 matching and...

Students are asked how does odors move around without energy? They relate concentration gradients, diffusion, and equilbrium and predict water movement into and out of cells. Students are shown a demonstration where the teacher sprays...

Students analyze the ways slavery shaped social and economic life in the South after 1800, methods of passive and active resistance to slavery; escaped slaves and the Underground Railroad, and the ending of the Atlantic slave trade.

Students read about the slave trade in primary source documents. They discuss differences and commonalities in experiences. They write prose or poetry from the point of view of one of the figures from the reading and create a triptych.

Students practice writing and speaking using conventional grammar, usage, and sentence structure. Students practice as a whole class and then demonstrate their knowledge in written activities. Handouts and worksheets are imbedded within...

Students draw a diagram to show the fluid mosaic model of a membrane. They explain how hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties help membranes hold their shape. They identify the functions of different cell membrane proteins as well.

In this online interactive English vocabulary skills instructional activity, high schoolers answer 10 matching questions which require them to fill in the blanks in 10 sentences. Students may submit their answers to be scored.

Choose the chapter called "Active and Passive Transport" from the table of contents for explanations, comparisons, and examples of active and passive transport. This includes an illustrative diagram.

Students compare and contrast passive and active transport by playing a game to model this phenomenon. Movement through cell membranes is also modeled, as well as the structure and movement typical of the fluid mosaic model of the cell...

This cellular biology page presents extensive detail on the chemical nature of the cell membrane. Using the Chime plug-in, students can manipulate and study models of the membrane.

Resource provides an explanation of Cell Transport. Includes many practical examples, as well as pictures. Sections include Water and Solute Movement, The Cell Membrane. Cells and Diffusion, Active and Passive Transport, Carrier-assisted...

The cell membrane is one of the great multi-taskers of biology. It provides structure for the cell, protects cytosolic contents from the environment, and allows cells to act as specialized units. Learn how the membrane functions to...

Lists specific transport mechanisms occurring in different parts of the nephron, including active transport, osmosis, facilitated diffusion, and passive electrochemical gradients.

Cell transport can be active or passive. The two forms are described here and their differences highlighted.

Through two lessons and five activities, students explore the structure and function of cell membranes. Specific transport functions, including active and passive transport, are presented. In the legacy cycle tradition, students are...

A brief but clear explanation of passive and active transport. Examples are provided to further enhance clarity of the concepts.
