Students investigate cells. They discover what cells are, where they are found, what they do and what they are made of. They construct a giant cell that is posted on the bulletin board.

Students demonstrate a working knowledge of cell interactions such as DNA replication, protein synthesis (transcription and translation), through active participation in a cooperative group.

Tenth graders examine the process of mitosis on a laser disc. They examine mitosis in an onion utilizing the microscope.

Students explore plant and animal cells. Using household items, students create a three-dimensional model of a plant or animal cell. Students identify and label each cell part.

In this science worksheet, young scholars answer 13 multiple-choice questions about mitosis and meiosis. For example, "Interphase is defined as..."

In this cell energy worksheet, students answer questions about the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration. They compare the two using a Venn diagram.

High schoolers 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...

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 visualize plant and animal cells, explain the parts of a cell and their functions and distinguish plant cells from animal cells. Working Students, in groups, must present a particular portion of a cell to the entire class.

Students become more familiar with life science in the context of the scientific method which helps them to become familiar with the various kinds of life science diagrams they may see on a GED science test.

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.

Seventh graders explore the connection between genetics and heredity by examining the cellular structure. Among the numerous activities to engage students are drawing DNA molecules, vocabulary puzzle sheets, and predicting possible...

Learners take measurements of the distance between the objective and the slide when in focus with each objective. They determine the diameter of the field of view at each power in order to determine the size of the cells being observed.

Students explore the causes and effects of genetic disorders. They examine the phenotype and genotype of individuals and predict the recurrenence risks. Students generate a Punnett square and construct pedigree charts.

Students distinguish between active and passive transport. Students identify key words associated with active and passive transport. They draw and explain the structure f the cellular membrane. They are able to define phospholipid...

In this biology worksheet, students explain where the energy of food originally came from. Then the explain one of the principal chemical compounds that living things use to store energy. Students also describe how ATP and ADP differ and...

In this science worksheet, learners answer 15 questions about mitosis and meiosis. For example, "What is a major feature of prophase in mitosis?"

Students investigate the rate of photosynthesis using elodea leaves. In this photosynthesis lesson plan, students place elodea in a test tube filled with water. They include baking soda and place the test tube under a lamp. Students...

In this labeling a cross-section of a Bacterium cell worksheet, students use the glossary of Bacterium cell terms to help identify and label each cell part. Students label nine parts of the Bacterium cell.

In this photosynthesis worksheet, students are given a diagram of photosynthesis and words that correlate with the process. They use the words to fill in the blanks about the process and the structures involved in photosynthesis.

In this cell structures worksheet, students review the parts of a cell using a "tournament" with brackets. They follow rules for each bracket to determine which cell structures "advance" to the next round.

For this bacteria worksheet, students fill in the blanks with the correct word. Students then label the structures found on a bacterium.

In this DNA instructional activity, students identify the different parts of the DNA and color them. They complete 16 short answer and fill in the blank questions on DNA.

Young scholars observe the similarities and differences between plant and animal cells. In this cell activity, students use microscopes to observe self prepared slides of animal and plant cells.
