What an eccentric way to learn about each level of cellular organization! Allow emerging biologists to utilize white paper and create their own foldable charts to describe each level of organization in the body. You may also adapt the...

Students discover the processes that occur during mitosis and what makes each phase different and distinct from the others as well as how each contribute to the overall process of mitosis by looking at onion root tips under a microscope.

In this active transport worksheet, students review the cellular process of active transport including the structures and functions of the cell organelles involved. This worksheet has 28 fill in the blank statements.

Students study prokaryotes and eukaryotes and compare and contrast them. They review the parts of the cell and define th eterms prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In pairs, they identify the organelles in a prokaryotic cell and a eukaryotic...

For this mitosis worksheet, students draw the different phases of cell division as well as draw pictures of the organelles and how they move between phases.

Sixth graders, in groups, learn the morphology and function of organelles within plant and animal cells.

In this biology activity, students learn about cells and their various parts. They first read a page and a half of facts about cells and then answer the 10 questions in the packet. The answers are on the last page.

Students examine animal and plant cells using a microscope and participate in a class discussion about the functions of the organelles.  For this biology lesson, students use microscopes and videos to better understand the functions...

Advanced placement biology aces list systems that have evolved over time, adaptations, and structure-function relationships. The resource requires plenty of writing to answer these questions, so allow a few days for them to complete the...

Students recognize that all living things are made up of cell and that they cannot easily be seen by the naked eye. Students become familiar with the use of microscopes as a tool for investigation.

Fifth graders, in groups, create a plant or animal cell out of cookies, frosting, and candy pieces.

In this bacteria worksheet, students read several elements of bacterium cells, their diet, types, locations, reproduction, resting stages, effects of, and classification. Students also study a cross-section of bacterium cells.

Sometimes science lab can be ... delicious! Middle school science scholars extract DNA from strawberries and other fruits in an engaging lab activity. The teacher's guide includes pacing, materials list, and worksheets with answer keys.

AP® free-response questions are often challenging for scholars. Give them practice writing free-response questions using former questions from the AP® Biology exam on topics such as genetic mutations, cellular respiration, evolution, and...

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

Help young botanists get to the root of photosynthesis with this series of worksheets. By completing these diagrams, students demonstrate their understanding of the biological structures and chemical reactions that make this...
