Journey to the Center of a Cell
Ninth graders create a large scale model of a eukaryotic cell. In this biology lesson, 9th graders identify the different parts and function of the cells by using a robot to navigate through the cell models. They create a video tutorial...
Curated OER
Cells, Cells, Cells
Young scholars explore plant and animal cells. Using household items, students create a three-dimensional model of a plant or animal cell. Young scholars identify and label each cell part.
Curated OER
Constructing a Cell
Third graders, in groups, make a model of a plant or animal cells and represent each of the organelles in the cell.
Curated OER
Cell-O
Students create model cells using gelatin, toothpicks, and various fruits to represent organelles. Then, students observe their models and complete a Venn Diagram comparing and contrasting plant and animal cells.
Curated OER
Cells
Learners explore the cell and cell processes. They create "cytoplasm", make a model of the cell and its organelles, and simulate the osmosis and the diffusion of materials into and out of the cell.
Curated OER
Community Cell
Students explore parts and functions of the cell, and create models of assigned organelles.

Students create three-dimensional cell models. They may choose to make either a plant or animal cell but must use a Ziploc bag as the cell membrane, slime for the cytoplasm, and strawberry baskets for the cell wall if making a plant...
Curated OER
Jello Cells
Middle schoolers create a three dimensional model of a cell. In this cellular structure lesson, students use gelatin, plastic bags, plastic containers, and fruit to construct a model of a cell. They compare the cells structures and stack...
Curated OER
Cell Size and Division or How Big Would You Want To Be if You Were a Cell?
Students investigate why cells divide. In this cell size lesson plan, students observe how far a solution travels into 3 different size model cells of agar. They answer questions about the most effect movement of "nutrients" into the...
