Information about digestion of various food components is given in this PowerPoint. The diets of herbivores and carnivores are compared, and there are many diagrams giving details of their digestive system specializations. The...

Remind your middle school scientists how fox ear size varies depending on the climate they live in; large ears allow heat loss while small ears keep heat in. Discuss how a cold-blooded animal might try to regulate body temperature. Then...

This is a worksheet where students can review the different parts of an animal cell by coloring in the various sections.

In this science worksheet, 8th graders complete multiple choice questions on plant and animal cells, organisms, planets, and more. Students complete 70 questions.

In this biology worksheet, students construct a model of a plant or animal cell using edible materials that will remain fresh at least three days. They identify and label each part to include various organelles as listed. Students also...

In this environmental instructional activity students complete a series of multiple choice and short answer questions on animal populations, cell structure and chromosomes.

In this environment worksheet students complete a series of multiple choice questions and short answers on plant and animal species and populations in an ecosystem. 

Twenty-six pages of biology questions, mostly in multiple-choice form, are included in the all-encompassing New York State Regents exam. It assesses every topic typically covered in a high-school biology course. Create your own answer...

In this energy worksheet, students search for nineteen words related to energy producing and energy capturing reactions in plants and animal cells.

Students identify parts of plant and animal cells and describe the functions of each part. They distinguish between plant and animal cells. After a lecture/demo, students perform experiments which help them construct models of plant and...

Students observe the general structure and organelles of plant and animal cells. Students prepare microscope slides of elodea, onion, check, and cork and identify the cells by size and shape as unicellular, multicellular, plant or animal.

Students learn about cells. In this cells lesson plan, students take several days to learn about plant and animal cells and make their own edible cells with a cookie and icing.

Seventh graders identify the different parts and functions of the cell. In this biology instructional activity, 7th graders make a labelled diagram of either a plant or animal cell. They write a story about it.

In this cells worksheet, students review how the cell theory was developed. Students review the structure and function of cell structures and active transport. This worksheet has 30 fill in the blank questions.

Seventh graders use technology to review cell structure and function. In this cells less, 7th graders review the parts and functions of a cell, and use photography/video and PowerPoint to enhance their explorations.

In this cell worksheet, students complete a graphic organizer by determining what organelles are found in plant or animal cells and their functions.

Students are introduced to the life cycle of a cell. In groups, they identify and describe the function of organelles. They compare and contrast the differences and similarities between plant and animal cells as well. They complete a...

Students construct a mitosis flip book. In this biology instructional activity, students describe the different stages of mitosis. They discuss the importance of cell reproduction.

Sixth graders study living cells and their functioning units.  In this cell activity students color cell diagrams, answer questions and discuss the differences between plant and animal cells. 

After actively participating in a unit on cells, the students act out and become the organelles. They will act out and explain the functions of what each of the organelles do for the cell.
