Students complete a cell biology lesson plan and a color lesson plan based on The Giver. In this biology and reading comprehension lesson plan set, students examine cells using microscopes. They look at the organelles and listen to How...

Use this resource to have your class learn about the cell. This resource walks learners through the construction of a model of a cell. This project is completed in a cooperative learning group, and  reinforces the higher-order...

Learners investigate parts of a cell. In this plant cell lesson, students determine the difference between plant and animal cells. Learners discover that coral is an animal based on cell characteristics. Students create puppets to...

Students explore biology by researching living cells. In this living organism lesson, students participate in a role-playing activity in which all the students in class form one plant cell by portraying specific parts of a cell. Students...

Students investigate cells. They discover what cells are, where they are found, what they do and what they are made of. They construct a giant cell that is posted on the bulletin board.

Students 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. Students then put them all together to form one plant or animal cell. 

Students examine microscopic life by conducting a scientific investigation. In this cell analysis activity, students define the prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and discuss their word origins. Students view each type of cell on slides...

Fourth graders draw on previous knowledge and create hand-held flip books that show a cell going through the motions of the cell cycle. They create a flip book, which illustrates the cell cycle.

Students explore biology by identifying a diagram. In this cell anatomy lesson plan, students read a story about archeology and conduct a fictitious archeology dig in class in which they search for animal cells. Students define a list of...

Ninth graders share what they know about cells. In this biology lesson plan, 9th graders study different microscopic images of the cell. They draw one and explain to their partner why they chose that image.

Students explore physical science by participating in a science role-play activity. In this DNA structure lesson, students discuss the different parts of the code that makes up our DNA and instructs our cells. Students utilize the...

Students explore animal characteristics by participating in an environment identification activity. In this animal habitat lesson, students discuss a range of different wild life and the ecosystems that they are a part of. Students view...

Students build three types of towers, engineering them to hold an egg one foot high for 15 seconds. They discover that engineering designs are subject to constraints such as time, money and size specifications. In this activity students...

Students design a bag that they would personally use to carry needed items to school. In this bag design lesson, students observe real bags and assess needs and wants for a new bag. Students brainstorm design solutions and render their...

Students create a dramatic play. In this coral lesson, students explore the anatomy of coral. Working in groups, students research the form and function of coral and present a skit to represent their learning.

Students draw a picture of a person from popular culture, then "clone" it using printing techniques in this Art instructional activity that tackles the questions surrounding cloning, DNA, and current scientific techniques. An emphasis is...

Students demonstrate their knowledge of panthers by writing a play on the subject.  In this animal life activity, students view a slide-show on school computers of a veterinary exam of a panther.  Students utilize this...

Students understand why we see various colors. In this mixing colors lesson, students experiment with different food coloring to explore how colors are made. Students record on a data sheet the colors they see.

Students discover dangers to human health by researching what's in our drinking water.  In this water purification lesson, students discuss the conditions of water in undeveloped countries and why it is unsafe to drink....

Students study barrel sponges. In this science and art instructional activity, students discuss what sponges are, create their own sponge, and share what they created with the rest of the class.

Pupils will create short movies. The integration of technology into the curriculum is important for learners to apply in various ways. This lesson is an example of that kind of integration.
