How Genes Work Lesson Plan
High schoolers define the key terms that are the structure and function of DNA. In this genetics lesson plan students complete a lab activity in which they construct a model DNA structure.

Cell Structure and DNA
Sixth graders identify, locate and describe the function of the parts of a cell. In groups, they state the five stages of mitosis and put them in the correct order. They are introduced to the structure of DNA and mRNA and how they...

Notes on Cell Organelles
Middle schoolers record information and write journal entries on the structure and function of cell organelles while viewing a Powerpoint presentation.

Light Microscopes
Seventh graders study the parts of a light microscope, and its proper use. They identify each part and explain why it is important to know how to use this tool. They practice observing newsprint on a wet mount slide.

The Cell Theory
In this cells worksheet, students review how the cell theory was developed. Students review the structure and function of cell structures and active transport. This worksheet has 30 fill in the blank questions.
Curated OER
Cell Community
Seventh graders use technology to review cell structure and function. In this cells less, 7th graders review the parts and functions of a cell, and use photography/video and PowerPoint to enhance their explorations.
Curated OER
Cell Structure and Function
Students compare the organelles present in plant and animal cells. In this biology lesson, students create an analogy to easily remember their assigned organelles. They also research their function and write a creative story.
Curated OER
Cell Works
Students identify the different parts of the cells and their functions. In this biology lesson, students create an analogy of a cell and its organelles. They make a poster and present it to class.
Curated OER
Mitosis
Seventh graders describe the stages of mitosis. In this biology activity, 7th graders explain the importance of cell division. They complete an activity packet at the end of the activity.
Curated OER
Plant Cell Coloring
Students study a plant cell and its parts. In this cell organelle lesson students are to label parts of a plant cell and color them.
