Life science learners investigate live cells. They examine wet mount slides of cyanobacteria and Elodea plants. They peer into the dynamic microscopic world of protists. Afterward, they construct a model of a cell, including rudimentary...

For as small as they are, there sure is a lot of information for young scientists to learn about bacteria. Help simplify the subject with this instructional presentation that explores the structure, nutrition, and reproduction of...

Help young biologists piece together an understanding of cell structure with a comprehensive review worksheet. Tasking students with describing the function of the organelles found in cells and their relationship with one another,...

For this biology worksheet, students read about the mechanism of photosynthesis to answer 43 short answer questions. They explain the role of chloroplasts in the process.

Students study chloroplasts, their structure and evolution.  For this photosynthesis lesson students experiment with polarized light and the production of chlorophyll.

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...

In this biology activity, learners complete a crossword puzzle with 46 questions on cell structure and function. They identify different cell organelles.

The many slides and images in this PowerPoint are clear and relevant to the detailed content covering the details of DNA structure, replication, cell differentiation, and mutation on an advanced level. The slideshow summarizes all of the...

In this biology worksheet, students respond to 13 multiple choice questions related to cell structure and function. They identify which are microfilamets and which have a cell wall. Students also describe what chloroplasts are and their...

Familiarize young biologists with the inner workings of eukaryotic cells with this vocabulary worksheet. By cutting out and matching a series of definitions and memorization tips to the organelles listed in the provided...

Chromosomes contain keys to history including links from royalty to Neanderthals. Young scientists learn about Ivan Wallin's research into chromosomes with an animation and videos. Then, the concept connects to mysteries related to...

Who were the key players in cell theory? Use a handout to help young biologists record the basics about cell theorists and cell types. It refers to chapter seven of a textbook, but does not include the name of the textbook. 

As your class views each slide, they will be introduced to the organelles and structure of the cell.  Details about structure and function are given and also some trivia about their frequency and population. There is also some...

For this cell organelles worksheet, learners read the structure and function of different plant and animal cell organelles to determine what organelle is being described. Students write in the 15 organelles into a chart.

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...

For this cell worksheet, students chart the function of various cell structures. Students list the organization of a multicellular organism and illustrate plant and animal cells.

In this biology worksheet, students locate and identify various vocabulary terms relating to cells and microscopes listed on the right. There are 26 biology terms located in the word search.

Fourth graders create analogies in poster format between a cell's organelles and their school. For example, 4th graders coul say a cell's mitochondria is like the cafeteria, both are a source of energy.

Fifth graders search into animal and cell characteristics and their functions in this seven lesson unit. Replicas of the cell are constructed out of Jell-O as students probe the internet for details of the concepts.

Students study cellular structures and functions.  In this cell function lesson students participate in a class discussion then make a drawing of the cell they are discussing. 

In this energy worksheet, students review the processes that create energy for a cell: photosynthesis and cellular respiration. This worksheet has 11 fill in the blank and 14 short answer questions.

Students create two different cells, one plant and one animal.  In this plant and animal cell instructional activity students form groups and construct a part of a cell. Students then put them all together to form one plant or...

If you're finishing up a unit on cells, here's a great project to get kids collaborating and recalling what they've learned in a fun and tangible way. Small groups create plant or animal cells out of materials they have at home. They use...

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