Can science scholars describe a nucleus without mentioning DNA, or a chloroplast without mentioning the color green? Test their organelle understanding through an exciting card game. Groups take turns guessing the correct organelle or...

In this cells worksheet, learners define 14 words associated with cells. They answer 12 short answer questions about the structure and function of the cellular system.

Young scholars explore the means of transportation available in the 19th century and its role as both facilitator and enabler of the westward expansion. They create a project board illustrating their findings.

In this homeostasis and plasma membrane worksheet, 9th graders identify and solve 11 different vocabulary terms and definitions. They review the definitions of the words listed and then use the clues to complete the puzzle shown....

In this spelling list worksheet, learners practice spelling words that are sight words, suffix -able, and vocabulary. Students practice spelling 21 words total.

Young scholars explore the Iceland volcanic eruption that halted European transportation in 2010. In this transportation lesson, students read an article about the event and then discuss the impact of the event. Extension activity...

Students investigate and explain the differences active transport versus passive transport. This lesson includes an individual and group activity. The basic steps of electrophores is the focus of inquiry. Identification of the pure...

In this biology learning exercise, students look at the function of filtering in the nephron of the kidneys and the biochemistry is emphasized.

In this cell fluid balance worksheet, high schoolers read about how fluids are transported in and out of a cell through the cellular membrane. Students compare cells that are isotonic, hypertonic, and hypotonic. This worksheet has 3...

Students read about the slave trade in primary source documents. They discuss differences and commonalities in experiences. They write prose or poetry from the point of view of one of the figures from the reading and create a triptych.

In this detecting disease worksheet, students will review the different tools scientists use to identify diseases including the steps of Koch's postulates. This worksheet has 14 fill in the blank and 4 short answer questions.

High schoolers are asked how does odors move around without energy? They relate concentration gradients, diffusion, and equilbrium and predict water movement into and out of cells. Students are shown a demonstration where the teacher...

Students draw a diagram to show the fluid mosaic model of a membrane. They explain how hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties help membranes hold their shape. They identify the functions of different cell membrane proteins as well.

Students practice writing and speaking using conventional grammar, usage, and sentence structure. Students practice as a whole class and then demonstrate their knowledge in written activities. Handouts and worksheets are imbedded within...

Explanation of cell membranes and the way selective materials may move through them.

Students compare and contrast passive and active transport by playing a game to model this phenomenon. Movement through cell membranes is also modeled, as well as the structure and movement typical of the fluid mosaic model of the cell...

Review the major points about active transport.

A brief but clear explanation of passive and active transport. Examples are provided to further enhance clarity of the concepts.

Cell transport can be active or passive. The two forms are described here and their differences highlighted.

The cell membrane is one of the great multi-taskers of biology. It provides structure for the cell, protects cytosolic contents from the environment, and allows cells to act as specialized units. Learn how the membrane functions to...

Lists specific transport mechanisms occurring in different parts of the nephron, including active transport, osmosis, facilitated diffusion, and passive electrochemical gradients.

Learners participate in a simulation which shows the movement of molecules across a cell membrane so that they understand passive and active cell transport. Students also use computational thinking skills by developing systems based on...
