Students discover cells make up all living things. In this life science lesson, students investigate living organisms and the cells that create them. Finally the students create a testable question, conduct an investigation, and draw...

Fourth graders, in groups, explore cells, the basic unit of all living things.

Students become familiarized with use of the microscope.

In this cell cycle activity, 7th graders study the various images of the cell cycle. Students then label each picture with the correct cycle. Students then answer several questions about the cell cycle.

High schoolers work together in groups to complete various stations on the cycles of cells. Individually, they keep their completed work in a folder after following specific instructions on how to complete each experiment. They use the...

Pupils investigate the difference between plant and animal cells. They observe a variety o plant and animals cells by looking at a piece of cork, an onion, elodea, prepared slides of paramecium, human bone, frog blood, and human striated...

Students do an experiment using a microscope. In this instructional activity, about cells, students examine different slides using a microscope. Students look at an onion skin, cheek cells, and potato cells. In each of these, students...

In this cell phases worksheet, 7th graders study the phases of an onion cell. Students write the onion mitosis cell phases on the lines.

High schoolers observe the general structure and organelles of plant and animal cells. Students prepare microscope slides of elodea, onion, check, and cork and identify the cells by size and shape as unicellular, multicellular, plant or...

Tenth graders examine the process of mitosis on a laser disc. They examine mitosis in an onion utilizing the microscope.

Learners distinguish the differences between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells. Using microscopes, they examine a variety of plant and animal cells. Working in groups, they draw and label plant and animal cells and show the mathematical...

Students will explore cells to understand that all living things are composed of cells. In this science lesson, students use the scientific process and work in cooperative groups to gain a better...

Preparing the root tip samples is the most challenging part of the mitosis-viewing lab found here, but the directions help ensure you have everything you need. There is no worksheet included; however, there is a sample data table....

Third graders experiment with common grass and cellular division.

In this activity, middle schoolers make microscopic observations of onion root tips, discuss them with classmates, then make detailed drawings that are shared.

Site provides six possible center activities for teachers to use to engage students in the study of cells.

Discover microscopic images of various eukaryotic cells, both plant and animal.
