Ninth graders review cell information by making a comic book. In this cell lesson, 9th graders make the parts of cells into superheroes. They draw these superheroes on the computer and come up with a plot to make a comic book.

Students investigate cells. They discover what cells are, where they are found, what they do and what they are made of. They construct a giant cell that is posted on the bulletin board.

In this cell structures worksheet, learners draw a plant cell. Students draw and label all of the parts listed in the word bank. Learners then identify each part by coloring it the color indicated in the word box.

For this animal cell structure worksheet, students draw an animal cell. Students then draw and label all of the cell parts listed in the word box. Students identify each part by coloring it the color in indicated in the box.

Learners create two different cells, one plant and one animal.  In this plant and animal cell lesson students form groups and construct a part of a cell. Learners then put them all together to form one plant or animal cell.
