DNA Responds to Signals from Outside the Cell
How do cells know when to replicate, transcribe, and stop? James E. Darnell, Jr. shifted from studying medicine to biochemistry and decided to address this mystery. Learn about his research, discoveries, and the impact on future medical...
Curated OER
Cell (Biology)
Students conduct a series of activities to explore the nature of cells. In this biology lesson, students observe plant and animal cells under the microscope and compare them. They differentiate osmosis and diffusion.
Curated OER
Cell Structure and Function
In this cell instructional activity, students chart the function of various cell structures. Students list the organization of a multicellular organism and illustrate plant and animal cells.
Curated OER
Cell City Analogy
For this cell analogy worksheet, students are given a story with underlined words about the production of widgets in a city. The students determine what the underlined words would represent in the analogy of the cell to the city...
Grand Erie District School Board
Model Cell Project
If you're finishing up a unit on cells, here's a great project to get kids collaborating and recalling what they've learned in a fun and tangible way. Small groups create plant or animal cells out of materials they have at home. They use...
Curated OER
Living Systems Part III
Here is a fantastic, informative, interactive presentation on plant and animal cells. The PowerPoint is produced by an elementary school teacher who has a doctorate in science, and it shows! This would be a splendid presentation to use...

7.012 F’04 Problem Set 1 ~ Biology
Course identification information is included in the upper left corner as well as within the title of this learning exercise. If you overlook or remove that information, you are left with a tremendous college biology assignment. There...
Curated OER
Cell Parts
In this biology worksheet, students read about the parts of both plant and animal cells and examine cell diagrams. They read about the function of cell parts before answering 11 online fill in the blank questions.
Curated OER
Biology: Cells and Chemical Changes
Students explore the numerous functions of cells in both plants and animals. Following a pre-assessment, they construct cell models and examine onion cell slides stained with iodine or dye. After participating in experiments on how to...
Curated OER
Cells: The Basic Units of Life
For this cell worksheet, learners identify the function of 4 different parts of a cell, complete 4 word connections, and complete a word puzzle about cells.
Curated OER
Bread Cells
Fifth graders examine plant and animal cells. In this plant and animal cell lesson, 5th graders define what cells are, label their parts, and describe how plant and animal cells are different. They observe cells at a number of web sites,...
Curated OER
Cell-O
Students create model cells using gelatin, toothpicks, and various fruits to represent organelles. Then, students observe their models and complete a Venn Diagram comparing and contrasting plant and animal cells.
Curated OER
Cells
Students explore the cell and cell processes. They create "cytoplasm", make a model of the cell and its organelles, and simulate the osmosis and the diffusion of materials into and out of the cell.
Curated OER
Review of Cell Organelles
In this cell organelles worksheet, students read the structure and function of different plant and animal cell organelles to determine what organelle is being described. Students write in the 15 organelles into a chart.
Curated OER
Eukaryotic Cell Structure
In this biology worksheet, students complete 20 fill in the blank questions about eukaryotic cells. They identify the parts and functions of cell organelles.
Curated OER
Home as a Cell
Students correlate a series of items with the organelles of a cell. They compare the school to a cell, and create a drawing that compares the cell structure with their home.
Curated OER
Travel Brochure for a Cell
Students create a brochure to entice readers to 'visit' their cell organelles and functions 'amusement park'. Students use humor and 'roadside attractions' for an inspiration - 'visit the ribosomes to watch proteins synthesized before...
