Students color-code a schematic of a cell and its cell membrane structures. Then they complete the "Build-a-Membrane" activity found at http://learn.genetics.utah.edu. This reinforces their understanding of the structure and function of...

A biology class is divided into two groups: one an animal cell, and the other one, a plant cell. They are given a list of cell organelles to research and construct in their 9 M X 9 M model. Students must organize and assign duties,...

Students use guided scientific observation using a collection of models, visual material, and microscope slides to identify cell organelles. Then they demonstrate their understanding of the parts/characteristics of cells by identifying...

A teacher- and student-contributed website of 3-D models and explanations of cell structures.

This activity offers an alternative to cell models to help the students to understand cells and their functions. Students are required to produce a travel brochure that describes a plant or animal cell as if it were a large exhibit or...

In this lesson plan site, each student is assigned a cell part to research, create, and place inside of a clear plastic drop cloth (the cell) the size of one-half of the classroom ceiling.
