In this chemistry worksheet, students identify and locate various vocabulary terms related to metals found in the periodic table. There are 54 chemistry terms located in the word search.

Tenth graders study plant and animal cells.  In this investigative lesson students draw their own animal cells and label them. 

Students construct a model of a comet nucleus using dry ice. They add other materials and describe the features. They complete related exercises on an Internet Web site.

Seventh graders analyze and identify the role of the cell membrane and nucleus. They create flash cards to help them review cell structures. They also compare plant and animal cells.

Students list differences between DNA-related terms and create a simple DNA circle map. They order terms including human body, organ, tissue, cell, nucleus, etc. from largest to smallest. They discuss differences and similarities among...

For this chemistry worksheet, students describe an atom, its parts, the charges of these parts, and atoms life functions. Then they explain what the octet rule states for the placements of electrons around the nucleus of an atom....

In this human cells learning exercise, 7th graders complete a science experiment using human cheek cells. Students sketch the cells at high and lower power and label the cell nucleus, cytoplasm, and cell membrane.

Tired of blowing up countless balloons to illustrate orbital shapes around an atom? Give your lungs a break and use an interactive instead! Learners observe s, p, d, and f orbitals through the first four energy levels using hydrogen as a...

In this atoms learning exercise, learners review terms associated with atoms which includes isotopes, transmutation, and radioactive decay. This learning exercise has 11 short answer questions.

In this DNA worksheet, 9th graders read a brief excerpt pertaining to the genetic code and identify how proteins know which cell to create. Then they use the genetic code dictionary to draw a diagram showing the codons for an imaginary...

In this brain word scramble worksheet, students unscramble 7 sets of letters to form the words: axon, synapse, neuron, dendrite, myelin, soma, and nucleus.

In this science graphic organizer worksheet, students fill in a Venn Diagram by comparing plant and animal cells. They use the words from the word bank to fill in each portion of the graphic organizer. They use words such as...

Students do an experiment using a microscope. In this lesson, 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 find cell walls,...

Students explore the parts of the cell. In this cell lesson, students use foods to create cell models that represent the nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, mitochondria, ribosomes, vacuoles, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi bodies...

Middle schoolers create atoms with clay by using different colors to represent the protons, neutrons and nucleus. In this creative lesson students use clay to learn about atoms and see how they apply to the periodic table.

Students create paper comet models. They discuss facts about comets and build a model to determine the way the sun affects a comet. They create a comet and label the head and tail portions. They discuss their comet model and share it...

For this cell worksheet, students access a given website to compare the cell organelles and their functions to jobs in a factory. This worksheet is a graphic organizer.

High schoolers model the removal of a cell nucleus and the insertion of an alternate control center. They define some of the challenges faced in this type of transplant procedure. Students discuss cloning.

Students idenitfy that cancer is a growth of mutated cells and that cancer cells are only one type of cell that causes disease in our body. They also identify that all eukaryotic cells contain a nucleus, cytoskeleton, and a cell...

Students use various snacks to make large models of human cells. Items such as gumballs, gummy worms, and jelly beans represent the nucleus, golgi bodies, and mitochondria. As each piece of candy is added, the teacher explains what it...

Students observe an experiment showing the formation of a cloud. They write a paragraph summarizing the condition that are necessary for a cloud to form and explain the weather situations cause cloud formation.

In this biology vocabulary word search instructional activity, students will find and circle 15 words or phrases such as "nucleus" and "metabolism".

Physics apprentices analyze the impact of NASA's Impactor as it collided with the comet Tempel 1 in July of 2005. They calculate the mass and speed of the comet, along with the distance it might drift off of its orbit over time. This...
