Plant and Animal Cells - Are they Different?
Students observe the similarities and differences between plant and animal cells. In this cell activity, students use microscopes to observe self prepared slides of animal and plant cells.
Curated OER
Comparing Plant and Animal Cells
In this comparing plant and animal cell worksheet, students use a microscope to observe cheek cells and onion cells. They compare their observations and answer 3 questions about their discoveries.

MAKING THREE DIMENSIONAL PLANT AND ANIMAL CELLS
Learners create two different cells, one plant and one animal. In this plant and animal cell lesson students form groups and construct a part of a cell. Learners then put them all together to form one plant or animal cell.
Curated OER
Comparing Plant and Animal Cells
For this comparing plant cells and animal cells worksheet, students view cells from their cheeks and cells from elodea. A Venn diagram reveals similarities and differences between the cells.

Making Three Dimensional Plant and Animal Cells
Students use a hands-on activity which enhance their understanding of the 3-D characteristics of cells while reinforcing their knowledge of plant and animal cell structure.
Curated OER
Baby Cell Facts of Life
Students examine the roles of an animal cell's parts, how each part relates to one another and then demonstrate their knowledge by writing a story about the animal cell structure.
