Students model the plasticity of neural pathways for memory in the brain. They simulate the cell activity according to dots on cards that they are given. They complete various simulations of different cell combinations.

Students explore ways to turn back the genetic clock. They explore cells and mitosis. Students participate in an activity to create a flip book that will animate the process of mitosis. They explain each stage of mitosis.

Tenth graders work in teams to order events of DNA transcription and translation protein synthesis. In the second lesson, they put the steps of mitosis and meiosis in order using a concept map poster. They use modeling clay to create...

In this living environment worksheet, high schoolers answer a variety of questions about living organisms, the processes they go through to make food and break down food, absorb nutrients, and release toxins. They explain homeostasis,...

In this antibodies worksheet, students use model diagrams of antigens, antibodies and blood cells to develop a visual understanding of the immune system. They draw diagrams of antibodies and antigens attached to each other and answer...

Students examine why diffusion and osmosis happen in an egg cell.  In this diffusion lesson students demonstrate a semi permeable membrane.

Students observe their own epithelial cells from the inside linings of their cheeks using DigiScope technology. They prepare a slide with both onion cells and epithelial cells and make an illustrated booklet for a PowerPoint presentation...

In this electrochemistry worksheet, students solve a variety of problems including identifying parts of oxidation and reduction reactions, writing balanced equations for galvanic cells, determining free energy and equilibrium constants...

For this human blood: microviewer worksheet, learners answer questions about blood, red blood cells, white blood cells, phagocytosis, blood type B, fibrin, sickle cells, and infected blood. Students also draw quick sketches of a human...

In this blood instructional activity, learners complete a crossword puzzle given 24 clues about the components of the blood, the cells of the blood and the immune system with its antigens and antibodies found in the blood.

Seventh graders explain the role of white blood cells in fighting infections. In this life science lesson plan, 7th graders create flow charts showing the immune response process. They act out and play a game to simulate actions of the...

High schoolers use analogies to show the relationships among cell, nucleus, genes, chromosome, ribosome, replication, mitosis, transcription, translation, DNA, RNA, amino acids and proteins, genotype, phenotype, and genetics vs....

Students examine the right to counsel and due process. In this Supreme Court instructional activity, students  examine primary documents from Gideon v. Wainwright and discuss the implications of the decision.

Students experiment with photovoltaic cells and determine the energy use of their appliances. In this renewable energy lesson plan, students calculate the energy emitted by a photovoltaic cell through an inquiry-based lab. They keep...

Students investigate the concept of diffusion and how materials enter and leave a cell. In this movement across a membrane lesson plan, students use perfume, food coloring in water and a sugar cube in water to observe diffusion. They...

High schoolers observe how a cell uses an enzyme to rid itself of a poisonous substance by experimenting with hydrogen peroxide, potatoes, liver and carrots. They record the temperature and changes of the hydrogen peroxide as other...

Using yarn and chenille stems, lab groups collaborate to model mitosis and meiosis. Brief background information and a vaguely written procedure comprise this outline. More instruction needs to be provided to learners about cell division...

There are technically two presentations in this collection of slides. The first presentation is a single-slide comparison of plant cell division and animal cell division. The second focuses on the steps of meiosis and the genetic...

Second graders describe how energy moves from the Sun to the photovoltaic cell to the wire and to the load. In this solar cell simulation instructional activity, 2nd graders demonstrate the movement of photons and electrons to emulate...

In this biology worksheet, students complete a crossword puzzle with 17 questions about the processes involved in cellular respiration.

Don't be shocked when your class has a blast making their own batteries! Science scholars examine a dry cell battery, then design and construct a wet cell battery. The activity guides them through the parts of a battery, the variables...

How do some viruses spread so quickly, and why do they make us feel terrible? Answer these (and many more) questions through a simple yet impactful lessons. Pupils observe demonstrations that show the two methods viruses use to escape...

A chicken egg is a very large cell—perfect for investigating osmosis! Scholars conduct an experiment with vinegar and eggs that helps them understand the process of osmosis. They follow the activity with an in-depth look at osmosis...

Active and passive systems used to transport materials to and from cells are the subject of a comprehension worksheet that asks readers to use information from the article to answer a series of questions based on the text.
