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

In this instructional activity, students learn the different kinds of cells including plant and animal cells. They also learn how to identify and name the organelles of eukaryotic cells.

Learners will research prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The students will then research plant and animal cells, comparing and contrasting the two. Learners will also research the major organelles and the function of each. Students will...

Professor Mill Ennium invites users into the Discovery Lab where they run across a box of cells and have to use the clues to figure out whether they are plant or animal cells.

Animation studio that specializes in medical illustration lets you explore the structure and function of plant cells and animal cells, using videos and interactive graphics with clickable parts that lead to more detail.

An online video game where players take control of a tiny virtual submarine that explores plant and animal cells from the inside! Players learn about organelles, respiration, and photosynthesis.

A collection of PDF study aids to help students comprehend cell biology.

Students discover the similarities and differences in organelles within plant vs. animal cells with this online lesson. Start out by engaging students with a hook via Shout It Out! and use Handouts, a Workspace, Label Reveals, and a Rank...

Find out about the basics of plant and animal cells with this comparison chart. Then read the article, study the diagrams, and watch the video to dig a little deeper into the topic.

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...

Site features high school-level comprehensive info on the structure and function of seed plants organized into shoot and root systems. While presented with lots of detail, clear illustrations and animations help make sense of the parts...

Presents labeled illustrations of a plant cell and an animal cell which demonstrate the parts that are common and different. Next is a table listing cell organelles and stating whether each is present or absent in a plant or animal cell....

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Even though plants and animals are both eukaryotes, plant cells differ in some ways from animal cells. Plant cells have a large central vacuole, are surrounded by a...

This lesson includes a Power Point presentation that will guide the students through an investigation of mitosis, or cellular division. The lesson will review the basic functions and parts of animal and plant cells and then introduce the...

In this activity, students use a virtual biology lab to perform investigations and learn lab procedures using compound and dissecting microscopes to look at a variety of animal and plant cells.

This site illustrates different parts of a plant and animal cell. The student may then drag and drop labels to the correct cell part.

[Free Registration/Login Required] This flipchart is intended to introduce plant and animal cells to fifth graders. Pictures, a web link, and several opportunities for student participation are included. An end-of-lesson assessment is...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] The life cycle of a plant is very different from the life cycle of an animal. Humans are made entirely of diploid cells (cells with two sets of chromosomes). Our...

This investigation allows students to observe cells from multiple sources. Plant, animal and bacterial cells will be observed as well as cells from multicellular organisms and single-celled organisms. After providing written descriptions...

Discover microscopic images of various eukaryotic cells, both plant and animal.

This activity offers an alternative to cell models to help the students to understand cells and their functions. Students are required to produce a travel brochure that describes a plant or animal cell as if it were a large exhibit or...

Reference information about the study of cells. Includes a chart comparing plant and animal cells and one examining the structure of a cell.

Site provides six possible center activities for teachers to use to engage students in the study of cells.

In this lesson plan site, each student is assigned a cell part to research, create, and place inside of a clear plastic drop cloth (the cell) the size of one-half of the classroom ceiling.
