2D Concept Visualization: Cell Organelles Presentation
Students create simple 2D concept driven visualizations of cells and cell organelles and organize them into an effective presentation.
Curated OER
Cells And Their Parts
Pupils 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.

Plant Structure and Function
With a few minor formatting changes, the plant parts and processes resource here would make a great study guide, quiz, or self assessment. Currently, it is a bit confusing, but changing some lettering to numbering would clear up any...
Biology Junction
Viruses, Viroids, and Prions
Are viruses living or non-living? According to the presentation, they are both and neither. Clearly, this requires clarification and an in-depth look at viruses, viroids, and prions. Young scientists learn about the history, structure,...

Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes
Young scholars 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...

Photosynthesis: Energy and Life
All life requires energy ... and the connection between energy and plant life typically requires photosynthesis. Scholars explore photosynthesis in depth from ATP/ADP through the Calvin cycle. A helpful presentation highlights concepts...
Curated OER
Plant and Animal Cell Structure
Seventh graders identify the different parts and functions of the cell. In this biology lesson, 7th graders make a labelled diagram of either a plant or animal cell. They write a story about it.
Curated OER
Ruminating on the Digestive System
Students compare the digestive systems of the buffalo and of the zebra, diagram their systems, and compare their lengths. In this digestive system lesson plan, students learn about their diets as well.

Classification/Taxonomy/Statistics Review
"Does King Phillip Cry Over Flimsy Grass Stems?" You might not answer that question with this exhaustive worksheet, but your biology class will get the full scoop on the hierarchy of biological classification with this resource. It...
Curated OER
Seeing Cells
Sixth graders study living cells and their functioning units. For this cell lesson students color cell diagrams, answer questions and discuss the differences between plant and animal cells.
Curated OER
Photosynthesis
For this photosynthesis worksheet, students are given a diagram of photosynthesis and words that correlate with the process. They use the words to fill in the blanks about the process and the structures involved in photosynthesis.
Curated OER
Plant Responses
In this plant response worksheet, students will explore the different responses plants have to different stimuli, including light and gravity. Students will complete 7 multiple choice questions and 3 fill in the blank questions.
Curated OER
The Life of Fungi
In this fungi worksheet, students will read about the three different ways that fungi get their food; decomposers, parasites, and mutualists. Then students will match three statements with the diagrams that fit the description.
Curated OER
Flowers and Reproduction
In this plant reproduction worksheet, learners review the stages of the reproductive cycle of flowering plants. This worksheet has 1 matching, 1 short answer, and 1 true or false question.
Curated OER
The Living Environment
Sixth graders show what they know about plant and animal cells. In this cell project lesson, 6th graders get to choose a project based on their learning style. They can create a visual representation of cells, auditory forms, or build a...
Curated OER
Cell Growth and Division
In this biology worksheet, 9th graders label the diagrams with the appropriate phase of mitosis illustrated. Then they explain why skin cell undergo mitosis continuously. Students also explain why mitosis is a form of asexual reproduction.
Curated OER
REPRODUCTION
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.

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

Principles of Heredity
Young scholars model traits on genes using colored paper and tongue depressors to represent chromosomes. In this heredity lesson plan, students use their "chromosome sticks" to understand chromosome pairs, genes, dominant traits,...
Curated OER
Food Chains
Young scholars create their own food chains on Kidspiration starting from the energy of the sun and what it creates. In this food chains lesson plan, students learn about how insects eat plants and so on.
