Students learn about the different structures that comprise cell membranes, fulfilling part of the Research and Revise stages of the legacy cycle. Students view online animations of cell membrane dynamics (links provided). Then they...

Explains how plant and animal cells are different and describes the organelles in a plant cell.

Students determine which cell organelles have a similar function to different places in a city.

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...

A chart which identifies each part of a cell, the location, the description, and the function.

This web resource provides basic information about structure and function of plant organelles through a large interactive cell drawing, as well as many opportunities to explore further. Links lead the learner to several short movies of...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] All cells are one of two types, prokaryotic or eukaryotic. Students will learn the structural differences between the two cells, be able to give examples, and...

In this unit, students look at the components of cells and their functions and discover the controversy behind stem cell research. The first lesson focuses on the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. In the second lesson,...

In this module, students discover how each cell is organized to complete the function of producing and transporting proteins, and how cells relate to homeostasis of the body.

Self-guided learning activity where students learn about cell structure and function, different types of tissues, and various kinds of membranes in the body. There is a short quiz at the end of the lesson to check for understanding.

For this lesson, learners learn the different kinds of cells including plant and animal cells. They also learn how to identify and name the organelles of eukaryotic cells.

This instructional activity focuses on the function of organelles through technology integration. The students will identify the various organelles by using an electronic game. Then, they will construct a Prezi (online presentation) and...

In story form, this site examines the similarities and differences among bacteria, plant cells, and animal cells. Drawings supplement the text for clarity purposes.

Two multiple-choice quizzes about cells. The first is on cell theory, basic information about cells, and cell types. The second is on cell structures and functions.

Use this informative essay and these great illustrations to learn how plant cells are different from animal cells.

A teacher- and student-contributed website of 3-D models and explanations of cell structures.

In this activity you observe photographs of cells and then make comparisons of the animal and plant cells.

Learn about the endosymbiotic theory. This theory explains the evolution of cells from a mitochondria and chloroplast working together in a symbiotic relationship to the current cell structure.

The parts of an animal cell are presented with descriptions of each of its organelles.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] An overview of special structures found in plant cells.

Practice multiple choice questions about basic characteristics of the cell.

The organelles and cytosol, taken together, comprise a cell's cytoplasm. This interactive site provides information regarding cytoplasm and cellular organelles.

An article reviewing the structure of eukaryotic cells. Learn how the cells have a nucleus, organelles, and chromosomes.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] All organelles are found in eukaryotic cells, while most are not found in prokaryotic cells. Learn more about organelles in this learning module produced by CK-12.
