Is DNA still present after picking fruit or cooking vegetables? Biology scholars extract and collect DNA strands in an impactful lab. Working groups prepare their samples and compare their results to negative and positive standard...

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...

Tenth graders research about the different cell organelles. In this series of biology lessons, 10th graders compare two allotropes of carbon. They investigate how the rate of reaction is affected by concentration.

All that this will link you to is a rap about cell theory and organelles. Use it as an example for a creative assignment in your biology class. Divide the class into groups and assign them a topic for which they write and perform a skit,...

These slides have lovely images to illustrate the Double Helix and replication.  The specifics of chromosomes within cells and the numbers and structure during different stages of cell replication are explained.

Students study a plant cell and its parts.  In this cell organelle lesson students are to label parts of a plant cell and color them.                

Students differentiate between plant and animal cells. They identify the structures central to plant cells. They complete a Venn Diagram listing the differences between animal and plant cells.

Students demonstrate a working knowledge of cell interactions such as DNA replication, protein synthesis (transcription and translation), through active participation in a cooperative group.

Learners review the parts of the eukaryotic animal cell and construct a model using various types of candy.

The 2005 version of the Regents High School Examination in ecology is as comprehensive as previous years' exams. It consists of 40 multiple-choice questions on topics ranging from the structure of DNA to interactions within an ecosystem....

Students draw cells, make a cell, and list organelles in plant and animal cells. In this cells lesson plan, students create edible cells.

For this microviewer worksheet, students observe several types of cells. Students draw each type of cell and label the important parts. Students also answer questions relatable to the cell and the purpose for study.

In this cells worksheet, students complete a chart in which they choose one organelle from a cell. Students pretend they are this organelle as they answer 5 essay questions. There is a word that is incorrect on the page: "who's" should...

Young scholars distinguish the differences between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells. Using microscopes, they examine a variety of plant and animal cells. Working in groups, they draw and label plant and animal cells and show the...

Young scholars explain how cells reproduce. In this biology instructional activity, students transcribe and translate a gene. They discuss and compare their answers in class.

In this biology activity, students identify and locate various vocabulary terms related to cells. There are 12 biology terms located in the word search.

In this biology worksheet, students identify and locate various vocabulary terms related to cells of the body. There are 31 biology terms located in the word search.

In this biology worksheet, learners construct a model of a plant or animal cell using edible materials that will remain fresh at least three days. They identify and label each part to include various organelles as listed. Students also...

After actively participating in a unit on cells, the students act out and become the organelles. They will act out and explain the functions of what each of the organelles do for the cell.

Students list the parts of cell theory and describe and define vocabulary.  In this cell lesson students complete a handout that includes sketching a cell. 

Young scholars observe the general structure and organelles of plant and animal cells. Students prepare microscope slides of elodea, onion, check, and cork and identify the cells by size and shape as unicellular, multicellular, plant or...

Students identify parts of plant and animal cells and describe the functions of each part. They distinguish between plant and animal cells. After a lecture/demo, students perform experiments which help them construct models of plant and...

Students learn about cells. In this cells lesson plan, students take several days to learn about plant and animal cells and make their own edible cells with a cookie and icing.
