The first of three pages in this handout provides a brief history of our understanding of the cell. It also differentiates between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The second is a collection of true and false, multiple choice, and short...

Chromosomes contain keys to history including links from royalty to Neanderthals. Young scientists learn about Ivan Wallin's research into chromosomes with an animation and videos. Then, the concept connects to mysteries related to...

Learners are introduced to the concept of hydrogen technologies through inquiry-based classroom activities.

In this cell comparison worksheet, students complete a table in which they compare the cell parts and organelles of plants and animals. They answer 4 short answer questions based on the information in the table.

In this science graphic organizer worksheet, students fill in a Venn Diagram by comparing plant and animal cells. They use the words from the word bank to fill in each portion of the graphic organizer. They use words such as...

Students explore the function and structures of cells, including plant and animal cells. They explore cell parts including cell wall, ribosomes, chromosomes, nucleoid, plasmids, flagella, pilli, and plasma membrane, cel

In this science graphic organizer worksheet, students complete a KWL chart for a study of plant and animal cells. They record what they know, what they want to know, and what they learned.

In this cells worksheet, students click on the links to learn about the plant and animal cells complete a comparison chart and answer short answer questions about it. Students complete 10 questions total.

In this cells instructional activity, students review and discuss eighteen key terms associated with cells and circle each one in a word search puzzle.

Students create simple 2D concept driven visualizations of cells and cell organelles and organize them into an effective presentation.

Students investigate different types and their parts. They differentiate prokaryote and eukaryote cells and create a venn diagram displaying differences or similarities. Students write ten similes related to the cells and parts of them.

In this scientific investigation worksheet, students follow the provided procedures to examine the number of cells in animals and then respond to 3 short answer questions.

Students work together in groups to complete various stations on the cycles of cells. Individually, they keep their completed work in a folder after following specific instructions on how to complete each experiment. They use the...

Students work as a team to use the ProScope Digital USB Microscope and a computer to collect microscopic images from a variety of organisms. When they compare these specimens, they are able to determine how they are alike and different...

When van Leeuwenhoek saw cells and single-celled organisms for the first time, he knew these small things were a big deal! Share his discoveries with young learners through a narrated video, model-building activity, and scale study....

Proving microscopic structures exist is a difficult task. Learn how scientists did just that in the mid-1800s as they set out to identify the cellular structures related to genetics. The online lesson explains the collection of work that...

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.

Students identify the parts of plant and animal cells, how samples can be obtained and what the differences are.

In this comparing plant cells and animal cells worksheet, students view cells from their cheeks and cells from elodea. A Venn diagram reveals similarities and differences between the cells.

Seventh graders examine the functions and roles of membranes in cells. They discover the differences between plant and animal cells.

Seventh graders analyze and identify the role of the cell membrane and nucleus. They create flash cards to help them review cell structures. They also compare plant and animal cells.

Pupils research both plant and animal cell characteristics. They draw the parts of each cell and as groups present their research.

Young scholars create two different cells, one plant and one animal.  In this plant and animal cell lesson students form groups and construct a part of a cell. Young scholars then put them all together to form one plant or animal...

Tenth graders are introduced to the cell and some of its parts. Through the use of video, 10th graders see animal and plants cells and their parts. They learn terms used to explain the cell.
