Young scholars list the parts of cell theory and describe and define vocabulary.  In this cell lesson plan students complete a handout that includes sketching a cell. 

In this atom instructional activity, students will complete 8 fill in the blank statements based on the different parts of an atom. Then students will explain how the arrangement of electrons in an atom is related to the periodic table.

Students observe the cells of an onion by wet mounting it and viewing it in a microscope.  In this hands on lesson students make their own wet mount slide of an onion and are able to identify the cells in it such as, the nucleus,...

Students identify via slides prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. They identify plant or animal cells from slides or pictures. Students are given the question of the day. They are asked which has a nucleus, a prokaryotic or eukaryotic...

Students compare and contrast plant and animal cells and then create a model of the latter. They visit Websites to view the cells and answer questions about them. In pairs, students create cell models using plastic baggies, syrup,...

For this chemistry science worksheet, students identify the parts of a chemical reactions. Students name the major particles of the atom. Students apply knowledge about the atom, theories, and models.

What causes earthquakes? Second graders learn about stresses from plate movement with a set of hands-on activities. After tracing fault lines on a map with yarn, class members create a paper plate model of Earth to show its layers...

In this human blood: microviewer learning exercise, students answer questions about blood, red blood cells, white blood cells, phagocytosis, blood type B, fibrin, sickle cells, and infected blood. Students also draw quick sketches of a...

For this environment worksheet, young scholars complete a series of multiple-choice and short-answer questions on organisms, reproduction, DNA, and cell division.

Students define vocabulary related to the parts of the atom.  In this matter lesson, students navigate the web to find the structure and the forces that affect atoms.  Students complete an experiment with positive and...

In this biology worksheet, students construct a model of a plant or animal cell using edible materials that will remain fresh at least three days. They identify and label each part to include various organelles as listed. Students also...

Learners investigate what is inside three different boxes using indirect observations and relate it to the discovery of the structure of the atom. In this atomic structure lesson plan, students explore the history of atomic structure by...
