Young scholars explore the functions of major eukaryotic organelles. They compare and contrast prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Given diagrams and drawings, students take turns drawing structures, discussing their function, and...

Students describe the cell as a 3D object rather than the 2D object they are accustomed to observing. They describe the appearance and location within the cell of the various cell organelles.

Students explore the basic unit of life, the cell in this nine lessons unit. The cell structure of animal and plant cell functions and how they affect our world are probed in this unit.

Students examine cell structures in depth. They decide what grade they want to work for and do the assignments for that grade. They complete various assignments on cell theory and organelles.

Students work in groups to create a new head of the cell to take over for the nucleus.  For this cell  lesson students produce a campaign that will show the importance of the organelle to the cell.

Sixth graders identify major cell organelles found in both animal and plant cells. Pupils observe a PowerPoint presentation based upon the features of a haiku. They create haiku science-based poem which describe the characteristics of...

Students review cell theory, identify major organelles found in typical cell, describe function of each major organelle, compare plant and animal cells, and demostrate understanding that cancer is caused by uncontrolled division of cells.

Young scholars view a video of various cells and organelles. They create a 3-dimensional representation of a cell (complete with organelles) out of everyday objects that function in the same way as the various parts of the cell.

Compare and contrast eukaryotes, prokaryotes, and viruses with a chart and a Venn diagram. Beginning microbiologists consider motility, reproductive ability, DNA content, and the presence of organelles. They write short answers to...

A solid review of the excretion system that presents diagrams and asks learners to name the labelled parts or to identify which parts perform the particular jobs stated.

So, this is not technically a worksheet, but rather a chapter of reading material, pictures, and diagrams introducing young biologists to the cell. Cell theory, diversity, size, and shape are described. The internal organization and...

Students compare the organelles present in plant and animal cells. In this biology activity, students create an analogy to easily remember their assigned organelles. They also research their function and write a creative story.

Students list and define all of the major organelles in a eukaryotic cell. They identify the correct placement of all the major organelles in a eukaryotic cell. They examine cell membrane and its function.

Young scholars compare and contrast plant and animal cells and then create a model of the latter. They visit Websites to view the cells and answer questions about them. In pairs, students create cell models using plastic baggies,...

In this cells activity, 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 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.

Students identify the different parts of the cells and their functions. In this biology lesson, students create an analogy of a cell and its organelles. They make a poster and present it to class.

Seventh graders describe the processes involved in mitosis and meiosis. In this life science lesson, 7th graders create chromosome models using strings and beads. They play a jeopardy team game at the end of the unit to review concepts...

In this labeling a cross-section of a Bacterium cell worksheet, students use the glossary of Bacterium cell terms to help identify and label each cell part. Students label nine parts of the Bacterium cell.

Students examine plant and animal cells to observe the organelles present in the cell, to match the function of each to the organelle on a cell model and to build a model of the plant or animal cell.

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

Eighth graders construct edible models of a plant cell and an animal cell and state the functions of the organelles. They are to write a short sentence describing the function of each organelle.

Students, in groups, consider a scenario in which some structure of a cell has been changed. They explore how structural change affects the function of a cell and create a visual aid to illustrate their observations.
