Mitosis And Meiosis
In this science worksheet, students answer 13 multiple-choice questions about mitosis and meiosis. For example, "Interphase is defined as..."
Curated OER
Process of Mitosis
Students discover through whole-class role play, the process of mitosis. They will all become a chromosome and demonstrate how they line up 23 to 23.
Curated OER
DNA Extraction
Students extract and observe a visible amount of DNA from Escherichia. coli cells. They discuss the properties of DNA. Confirmation of the presence of DNA by a reaction with an indicator is confirmed within this lesson. Many hands-on...

Digital Mitosis and Claymation
Take mitosis and meiosis out of the biology textbook and onto the screen! An innovative class project prompts young biologists to create an animation movie using clay, showing the phases involved in mitosis or meiosis by moving the...

Strawberry DNA
Humans eat around 93,205 miles of DNA in an average meal. Scholars learn how to extract DNA from a strawberry using a presentation. It walks through each step and explains why the process works. Comprehension questions encourage...

Plant Cell Diagram
In this plant cell diagram worksheet, students use the blank space to draw a plant cell and label it. There is a word bank of 11 parts of the cell which should be labeled.
Curated OER
Hands-on Cells
Middle schoolers review the components of a cell and the differences between plant and animal cells by creating a three-dimensional model of each type of cell. In small groups, they use modeling clay and household object to construct...
Curated OER
MAKING THREE DIMENSIONAL PLANT AND ANIMAL CELLS
Students create two different cells, one plant and one animal. In this plant and animal cell lesson students form groups and construct a part of a cell. Students then put them all together to form one plant or animal cell.
Curated OER
Cell Reproduction
In this cell reproduction worksheet, learners will review the 5 phases of the cell cycle: telophase, interphase, prophase, metaphase, and anaphase. Students will use the cell cycle diagram to complete 5 short answer questions.
Curated OER
Mitosis and Meiosis Exercise
In this cell division worksheet, students answer 13 multiple choice questions based on the process of mitosis and meiosis. Included are questions about the stages of cell division as well as the structures involved.
Curated OER
DNA Extraction
Students are able to extract and observe a visible amount of DNA from Escherichia coli cells. They discuss the properties of DNA. Students confirm the presence of DNA by a reaction with an indicator.
Curated OER
Polytene Chromosomes from Salivary Glands
Students use this laboratory procedure to outline the mechanism by which salivary glands are removed and prepared so that the polytene chromosomes may be observed.Drosophila virilis is used instead of Drosophila melanogaster because D....
Curated OER
Cell Cycle
In this cell cycle worksheet, 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.
Curated OER
Strawberry Smoothies
Biologists extract the DNA from a strawberry. After completing the procedure, learners write answers to a few questions on the lab sheet provided. This is ideal lab practice during a DNA unit in your general biology course.

Reviewing Mitosis/Mitosis
There are technically two presentations in this collection of slides. The first presentation is a single-slide comparison of plant cell division and animal cell division. The second focuses on the steps of meiosis and the genetic...
Curated OER
Plant And Animal Cells
Students identify parts of plant and animal cells and describe the functions of each part. They distinguish between plant and animal cells. After a lecture/demo, students perform experiments which help them construct models of plant and...
Curated OER
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...
Curated OER
Cell Structure and Function
Students compare the organelles present in plant and animal cells. In this biology instructional activity, students create an analogy to easily remember their assigned organelles. They also research their function and write a creative...
Curated OER
Cell Structure and Function
In this cells learning exercise, learners review the different types of cells. Students identify the organelles found in an animal cell and determine the function of these organelles. This learning exercise has 14 matching, 6 fill in the...
Curated OER
Diversity of Life
Students identify the difference between eukaryote and prokaryotes and examine the structure of bacteria. In this bacteria lesson students examine the different ways that bacteria are classified through an activity.
Curated OER
Extraction of DNA from Onion
Students study DNA by isolating it from plant tissue. They determine the purpose of each step in the isolation procedure as it relates to the physical and biochemical characteristics of the genetic material
