Learners examine the basic structures and functions of cells. They design and construct a factory cell model where each factory part corresponds to a cell part.

Students examine plant and animal cells to observe the organelles present in the cell, to match the function of each to the organelle on a cell model and to build a model of the plant or animal cell.

Welcome to Biology! Introduce pupils to a subject conceptualized by Aristotle in 300 BC through a presentation and worksheet. It covers the themes of biology, characteristics of life, the scientific method, microscopes, and measurements.

We know plants assist in the water cycle, but how do plants get water from the ground into the air? Through a series of demonstrations or labs, scholars observe the movement of water through plants. They microscopically view the cells...

Tenth graders study plant and animal cells.  In this investigative lesson students draw their own animal cells and label them. 

Students examine their cheek cells with a compound microscope. They identify different parts of the cell. They compare and contrast animal and plant cells with the microscope as well.

In this cells worksheet, 9th graders identify and use a microscope to look at cells. They explain the purpose for a microscope and how to find the total magnifying power of a microscope. Students also determine what would cause an image...

Students identify magnification by first using a magnifying glass and then with photos taken through a microscope. They complete a handout that leads them through each activity stated. Finally, students use their microscope to view a...

Students discover cells make up all living things. For this life science lesson, students investigate living organisms and the cells that create them. Finally the students create a testable question, conduct an investigation, and draw...

In this viewing of a cell worksheet, students will read a paragraph about how microscopes work and will use a diagram of a light microscope to complete 2 short answer questions.

In this human cells activity, 7th graders complete a science experiment using human cheek cells. Students sketch the cells at high and lower power and label the cell nucleus, cytoplasm, and cell membrane.

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

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...

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

Learners work together in groups to complete various stations on the cycles of cells. Individually, they keep their completed work in a folder after following specific instructions on how to complete each experiment. They use the...

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 cell cycle worksheet, 7th graders study the various images of the cell cycle. Students then label each picture with the correct cycle. Students then answer several questions about the cell cycle.

Students discuss the importance of reproduction of cells. They identify and describe the stages of Mitosis. They discover what happens to chromosomes and DNA during reproduction.

High schoolers 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.

High schoolers investigate the difference between plant and animal cells. They observe a variety o plant and animals cells by looking at a piece of cork, an onion, elodea, prepared slides of paramecium, human bone, frog blood, and human...

Students analyze cancer data represented in graphs and charts. They describe the changes in cell structure and function as the result of cancer. They also examine phenomenas that are believed to cause cancer.

Life science learners view an online animated mini textbook comparing two types of cell division. Working in groups, they use a digital microscope to capture images of cells in different stages of mitosis and meiosis. Then they create an...

A continuous cascade of information comes through this PowerPoint on biotechnology. The topic is defined, a history is presented, and basic genetic engineering techniques are explained. The topic is covered in an objective manner,...

A solid review of the excretion system that presents diagrams and asks learners to name the labelled parts or to identify which parts perform the particular jobs stated.
