What a packed lesson! Provide your class with the opportunity to learn about the cell cycle in several exciting ways. Biologists first learn about the theory behind mitosis, then proceed to view onion tips under the microscope and create...

Students create model cells using gelatin, toothpicks, and various fruits to represent organelles. Then, students observe their models and complete a Venn Diagram comparing and contrasting plant and animal cells.

Students create a three dimensional model of a cell. In this cellular structure lesson, students use gelatin, plastic bags, plastic containers, and fruit to construct a model of a cell. They compare the cells structures and stack them to...

Students study and identify the structures and functions of animal cells.

Students will learn about the pioneers who discovered the cell and its parts. They will be able to relate advances in microscope technology to the discoveries. Students diagram a time line and answer questions at the end to check for...

Students differentiate between plant and animal cells. They identify the structures central to plant cells. They complete a Venn Diagram listing the differences between animal and plant cells.

Eighth graders, after creating a Venn Diagram comparing/contrasting animal and plant cells, writing ten similes describing cell types, or drawing a colored diagram of a cell, list cell types as well as describe and label cell parts. They...

What you will find on this page is the general outline of a unit on the use of a microscope and the structure of the cell. There is no actual educational content here, so you will need to design the details of each of the four student...

Students explore the types of cells and their appropriate function. After observing a PowerPoint presentation, students draw diagrams of cells. Using a specified website, students identify parts of plant and animal cells. They answer...

Searched hours for an activity that allows individuals the ability to use multiple resources to learn about both plant and animal kingdoms? This discussion and activity provide pupils with the ability to visualize each organism...

Students draw cells, make a cell, and list organelles in plant and animal cells. In this cells lesson plan, students create edible cells.

Students investigate different types and their parts. They differentiate prokaryote and eukaryote cells and create a venn diagram displaying differences or similarities. Students write ten similes related to the cells and parts of them.

Young scholars compare and contrast prokaryotes and eukaryotes. They name the organelles that are present in prokaryotes only and identify their functions. Students label the diagrams of the prokaryotic cell and the eukaryotic cell.

Young scholars identify the main ideas of different cell theories. Using a microscope, they compare and contrast the structures and functions of prokaryotes and eukaryotes. They also compare and contrast animal and plant cells and...

Students study meiosis and how it leads to variation. In this genetic reproduction lesson students complete a lab activity that calculates different genetic possibilities.

Students explore biology by identifying a diagram. In this cell anatomy lesson plan, students read a story about archeology and conduct a fictitious archeology dig in class in which they search for animal cells. Students define a list of...

Students study prokaryotes and eukaryotes and compare and contrast them. They review the parts of the cell and define th eterms prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In pairs, they identify the organelles in a prokaryotic cell and a eukaryotic...

Young scholars discuss the different stages of mitosis. In this biology lesson, students work in pairs as they draw and diagram the stages of cell division. They discuss reproduction using pro, meta, ana and telophase.

Students complete a variety of activities to study different concepts in Science. The activities are part of a layered curriculum. This is used to differentiate instruction and give a wide variety of assessment opportunities.

Students use multicolored soft candies (gumdrops and candy orange slices) and toothpicks to create models of DNA structures. They discuss the fact that DNA must copy itself before splitting into two cells. Students demonstrate this by...

Students examine body systems. In this biology lesson plan, students explore the roles of different body systems and discover the effects of smoking, drugs, alcohol, exercise, and good nutrition on human body systems.

Students observe the two major developmental pathways (protostome and deuterostome). They analyze data regarding differences in nucleotide sequences and construct a phylogenetic tree. They observe the similar evolutionary history shared...
