In this cells worksheet, students review cell organelles and their functions plus the different processes that take place within cells. This worksheet has 9 matching and 5 true or false questions.

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

Students examine the concept of osmosis in relation to dehydration. They identify the function and structure of semi-permable membranes. They predict how certain processes can affect the characteristics of an organism.

In this cells worksheet, students define 14 words associated with cells. They answer 12 short answer questions about the structure and function of the cellular system.

Fourth graders, in groups, explore cells, the basic unit of all living things.

In this plant and animal cell worksheet, students draw five examples of plant or animal cells that are specialized to perform a particular functions. They also complete 6 short answer questions based on their observations.

With a multitude of questions, this worksheet offers students the opportunity to review their knowledge about the cell cycle. Question types include true/false, word bank, and completing a table about the differences between interphase...

Fifth graders search into animal and cell characteristics and their functions in this seven lesson unit. Replicas of the cell are constructed out of Jell-O as students probe the internet for details of the concepts.

In this cell membrane worksheet, students use the Nelson Biology text to complete the blanks. Students then sketch and label two figures found within the text.

Fourth graders create cartoon characters which compare and contrast two types of cells: nerve and muscle. Cartoon characters show how these two cells are similar, how they are different, and the relationship between the two cell types.

Fourth graders draw on previous knowledge and create hand-held flip books that show a cell going through the motions of the cell cycle. They create a flip book, which illustrates the cell cycle.

Pupils research both plant and animal cell characteristics. They draw the parts of each cell and as groups present their research.

Students explain how the components of a cell operate as a system. Students examine a bicycle and find out if parts were arranged differently, could the system still be carried out. They look at cells as well and see what function they...

Students identify parts and functions of microscope. Students watch video, Cells and Life about cell parts with actual pictures and actual cells. Students discuss video and identify parts of the cells that animals and plants have in...

Students observe the cells of an onion by wet mounting it and viewing it in a microscope.  In this hands on lesson students make their own wet mount slide of an onion and are able to identify the cells in it such as, the nucleus,...

Students predict the number of cells after a series of cell divisions.  In this cells lesson students create a graph of their results and create a patterned drawing. 

Young scholars study cellular structures and functions.  For this cell function lesson students participate in a class discussion then make a drawing of the cell they are discussing. 

Students create analogies that help them remember the cell parts as well as their respective functions.

Students design and carry out an exercise to determine if a given fruit or vegetable is composed of cells. They dissect out sections of the fruit or vegetable, prepare stained slides, and make observations under a compound microscope.

Learners discover the impact the invention of the microscope had on scientific discovery as well as the concept of spontaneous generation and the cell theory. Students examine these scientific concepts through a WebQuest and by viewing a...

In this cellular worksheet students complete a series of multiple choice questions on cell respiration, proteins and photosynthesis.

In this cell energy activity, learners are given clues about the light capturing process in plants and the energy producing reactions in animals to complete a crossword puzzle.

In this cell energy learning exercise, students answer questions about the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration. They compare the two using a Venn diagram.

Seventh graders explore the process of cell division. Students observe an animation of cell division. They draw the phases of mitoses. Students describe the phases of cell division and explain the events that occur during mitosis.
