Young scholars identify parts of plant and animal cells and describe the functions of each part. They distinguish between plant and animal cells. After a lecture/demo, students perform experiments which help them construct models of...

Young scholars study DNA by isolating it from plant tissue. They determine the purpose of each step in the isolation procedure as it relates to the physical and biochemical characteristics of the genetic material

In this literacy worksheet, learners find the words that are in the word search puzzle that focus upon the vocabulary that is from the theme of the sheet.

Article takes an in-depth look at the structure and function of the plasma membrane and cytoplasm of cells, the phospholipid bilayer, and microvilli.

Article takes a look at the different components (protein, lipid, cholesterol, and carbohydrate) of the plasma membrane, examining their roles, their diversity, and how they work together to make a secure boundary around the cell.
