Students work together in groups to complete various stations on the cycles of cells. Individually, they keep their completed work in a folder after following specific instructions on how to complete each experiment. They use the...

Students investigate the cycle of mitosis. In this biology lesson, students discuss the different stages of mitosis through cell reproduction. They further their investigation through laboratory analysis.

Seventh graders are engaged in a lesson that covers the concept of meiosis with the intention of covered sexual reproduction. They cover the concept of genetic traits and how they are transmitted over generations with or without...

In this biology worksheet, 9th graders label each of the diagrams representing the stages of meiosis. Then they describe how gametes vary from other cells in the body. Students also explain what happens during the process of fertilization.

Students will be able to identify the different stages of the eukaryotic cell cycle as well as the different stages of mitosis in the proper order. Students will also be able to recognize what organelles of the cell are integral to...

In this cell cycle activity, students fill in the blank with information about the cycle of a cell. Students sketch several drawings of different phases in the cell cycle.

In this cell division worksheet, students review the steps involved in a human somatic cell, from interphase to mitosis, to cytokinesis. This worksheet has 21 fill in the blank statements.

In this plant life cycle instructional activity, students compare the life cycles of mosses, ferns, and conifers. This instructional activity has 15 fill in the blank and 10 short answer questions.

Students conduct a series of activities to explore the nature of cells. For this biology lesson, students observe plant and animal cells under the microscope and compare them. They differentiate osmosis and diffusion.

Make reviewing evolution, cell division, genetics, cell structure, and scientific method more fun! Science Jeopardy allows teams to choose a category for the question they will address. If you complete the entire game, learners will have...

Students explore the four stages of mitosis. They view a prepared slide of an onion root tip undergoing mitosis to identify the stage for each cell in view. They record the number of cells in each stage, graph the results, then calcualte...

Ginkgo trees existed for more than 350 million years, and, at this time, only one species still remains. While plant diversity generally increases over geologic time, some interesting exceptions occur. Young scientists learn about plant...

Let there be light! When your physics learners take this midterm exam, light will be their focus. They will show what they know about electromagnetic waves, interference, refraction, reflection, lenses, prisms, and more! The test is...

How do you fill in the blanks about meiosis? With this handout! Most of the blanks have a letter filled in to give learners a hint. This resource is a good way for young biologists to ensure they have learned all the necessary vocabulary...

Learners observe and record observations of whether a person is a taster or nontaster. They test selected individuals from their families and peer groups and chart all findings to determine which trait (e.g. taster or non-taster) is...

Learners study what happened to the dinosaurs and possible causes of extinction.  For this investigative lesson students create dinosaur eggs. 

In this meiosis activity, student complete the blanks describing the process of meiosis. Students draw a diagram of homologous chromosomes.

In this biology worksheet, learners label 9 diagrams with the correct names. They also write short answers to 6 questions that follow.

Learners examine the cell cycle and how its duration can vary.  In this cells lesson students complete a worksheet and answer questions. 

Tutorial examines how a cell divides to make two genetically identical cells and explores the four basic phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Article explores the life cycle of a cell and delves into the phases of the cell cycle.

The phases of mitosis are described and the splitting of a cell into two daughter cells at the end of it.

Slideshow of mitosis and meiosis side-by-side. It is a summation of the two processes and the differences between them are clear.

Overview of mitosis and the cell structures that are critical to the process.
