Introduction to Osmosis
A chicken egg is a very large cell—perfect for investigating osmosis! Scholars conduct an experiment with vinegar and eggs that helps them understand the process of osmosis. They follow the activity with an in-depth look at osmosis...
Curated OER
Cells
Young scholars 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
Cell Project
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.
Curated OER
Cells are 3-D!
Students design three dimensional models of plant and animal cells. They identify the cells parts, and compare animal and plant cells.
Curated OER
Cell Factory
Learners examine the basic structures and functions of cells. They design and construct a factory cell model where each factory part corresponds to a cell part.
Curated OER
Cell Structure and Function
Students identify the main ideas of different cell theories. Using a microscope, they compare and contrast the structures and functions of prokaryotes and eukaryotes. They also compare and contrast animal and plant cells and complete...
