Students will create short movies. The integration of technology into the curriculum is important for learners to apply in various ways. This lesson is an example of that kind of integration.

This digital textbook covers core life science concepts and includes interactive features, real-world examples, and videos.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] A complete, web-based, multi-media textbook covering a wide variety of Biological science concepts for middle grades.

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,...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] The life sciences are the study of living organisms. They deal with every aspect of living organisms, from the biology of cells to the biology of individual...

Explore the process of cell transport across a cell membrane.

Understand the purpose of cell reproduction through mitosis and meiosis.

Understand what happens to a cell during mitosis.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] The process of cell division in eukaryotic cells is carefully controlled. The cell cycle is the life cycle of a cell, with cell division at the end of the cycle....

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Even though plants and animals are both eukaryotes, plant cells differ in some ways from animal cells. Plant cells have a large central vacuole, are surrounded by a...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Cells do eventually wear out. At that point, they need to be replaced. This is one reason that your cells divide. New cells that result after cells divide are also...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Cells are found in all different types of environments, and these environments are constantly changing. For example, one-celled organisms, like bacteria, can be...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] All organelles are found in eukaryotic cells, while most are not found in prokaryotic cells. Learn more about organelles in this learning module produced by CK-12.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] The cell membrane is semi-permeable. Sometimes molecules need the help of special transport proteins or an input of energy to help them move across it. When an input...
