Fighting Infection
Pupils study immune responses and the structures that are related to immune cells functions. In this fighting infection lesson plan students construct antibody complexes and model the interaction of the immune system when it is...
Curated OER
The Living Environment
Sixth graders show what they know about plant and animal cells. For 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
Making Blood!
students research blood's components, and use their math skills to recreate a model of whole blood using commonly found food items.
Curated OER
Organizing Organs
Fifth graders research plant and animals cells and create a Venn Diagram to show the similarities and differences.
Curated OER
Onion Skins
Students explore the structure of a plant cell. They carefully peel a single layer of onion skin from a slice of onion and stain it with methylene blue to observe the structures inside. They use a Digiscope connected to a computer to...
Curated OER
Know Your Telephone
Students describe the parts of a cell phone and role-play a phone call to a customer service representative. They compare/contrast the price of owning and using a cell phone in the U.S. and Venezuela.
