How Does A Plant Cell Relate To Your School?
In this biology activity, students chart and compare the observations made about a cell and the school building of a classroom. The inferences about cells are based upon textbook information.
Curated OER
Comparing Plant and Animal Cells in a Venn Diagram
In this science graphic organizer worksheet, students fill in a Venn Diagram by comparing plant and animal cells. They use the words from the word bank to fill in each portion of the graphic organizer. They use words such as...
Curated OER
Transport in Plants
Quite a detailed and advanced look at the transport mechanisms of a plant. The absorption and control of sugar and water concentration are explained and will help an understanding of homeostasis concepts and organ specialization.
Curated OER
The Cell Theory
In this cells worksheet, students review how the cell theory was developed. Students review the structure and function of cell structures and active transport. This worksheet has 30 fill in the blank questions.
Curated OER
Cells and Microscopes
In this biology learning exercise, students locate and identify various vocabulary terms relating to cells and microscopes listed on the right. There are 26 biology terms located in the word search.
Curated OER
Bacterium Cell Label Me!
In this labeling a cross-section of a Bacterium cell learning exercise, students use the glossary of Bacterium cell terms to help identify and label each cell part. Students label nine parts of the Bacterium cell.
Curated OER
Comparing Plant and Animal Cells
In this comparing plant cells and animal cells worksheet, students view cells from their cheeks and cells from elodea. A Venn diagram reveals similarities and differences between the cells.
Curated OER
Parts of a Cell
Students explore the parts of a cell. They identify the structures of plant and animal cells. Students explain the functions of plant and animal cells. They compare and contrast animal cells to plant cells. Students create a model of the...
Curated OER
Cell-ebrations in Science
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.
Curated OER
The Cell: Unit of Life
Students identify the parts of plant and animal cells, how samples can be obtained and what the differences are.
