All aspects of the photosynthesis process, and the way that plants have adapted with specializations are detailed here.  The diagrams and info-graphics will be useful to your AP biology class. It could also be used as a review...

HIV mutates rapidly, making treatments challenging to find. Scholars learn about why it mutates so quickly and how scientists race to find treatments. The resource approaches the issue from both a molecular and evolutionary perspective...

Students develop a working vocabulary of terms related to the life cycle. In small groups, students play the life cycle's game which consists of matching and defining vocabulary. Directions for creating the game board are included with...

With this collection of slides, future biologists get to view photographs of protozoans from different phyla. Interspersed with the photos are bullet-style notes listing characteristics of each group. Unfortunately, most of the pictures...

Learners observe the similarities and differences between plant and animal cells. In this cell activity, students use microscopes to observe self prepared slides of animal and plant cells.

Students explore the processes of photosynthesis and respiration. In this photosynthesis and respiration lesson plan, students learn about the role of the chloroplasts in photosynthesis and about the role of mitochondria in respiration...

Students take measurements of the distance between the objective and the slide when in focus with each objective. They determine the diameter of the field of view at each power in order to determine the size of the cells being observed.

For this bacteria worksheet, students fill in the blanks with the correct word. Students then label the structures found on a bacterium.

Students investigate atomic and nuclear structure of matter by researching historical atomic theories. Students examine Rutherford's studies and discover that many scientific conclusions change over time as new data is collected.

Students design a visualization to illustrate the role of the protein kinesin in exocytosis of a secretory material in a directed manner.

Students design an experiment to discriminate between chemical diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion and active transport through a membrane. Be specific about predictions and interpretations!

Tenth graders explore the parts of a cell. In pairs, classmates construct a model of a eukaryotic cell, detailing its morphology and function. With the use of computer technology, 10th graders create cell book for middle schoolers. ...

In this cell structure learning exercise, students review the structure and function of eukaryotic cells. Students also compare and contrast an animal cell with a plant cell. This learning exercise has 15 fill in the blank, 8 true or...

Young scholars 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.

Tenth graders are introduced to the cell and some of its parts. Through the use of video, 10th graders see animal and plants cells and their parts. They learn terms used to explain the cell.

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...

High schoolers model the removal of a cell nucleus and the insertion of an alternate control center. They define some of the challenges faced in this type of transplant procedure. Students discuss cloning.

The organelles and cytosol, taken together, comprise a cell's cytoplasm. This interactive site provides information regarding cytoplasm and cellular organelles.

The resource from Khan Academy and the Association of American Medical Colleges provides study content for the MCAT. This resource discusses cellular organelles and cellular structure.

This classroom activity plan has students examine electron micrographs to learn more about cellular organelles.

Evidence in support of endosymbiosis to show the evolution of organelles within cells.

This site lets students practice vocabulary words related to cell organelles. The same vocabulary words are presented in one of four different games for students.

Description of organelles. Links will take you to a glossary with pictures for many of the definitions. Ends with a quiz linked to answers.
