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...

In this DNA activity, students describe how the cell stores all of the data needed to produce the required proteins for the body. Then they describe the ribosomes division and how is attaches itself to RNA and makes protein by forming...

Students observe their own DNA. In this DNA lesson plan, students learn the simple method of DNA extraction and explain why DNA extraction is important to scientists.

For this human blood: microviewer worksheet, learners 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 human...

For this biology activity, students identify and describe a number of easily observable genetic traits and compare the traits they have with other students. Then they identify and describe that some traits are common while others are not...

In this mitosis worksheet, students examine the different phases of cell division and fill in key points on a notes page. Teacher master for overhead included.

In this life cycle worksheet, 9th graders complete 3 different procedures that distinguish viruses and bacteria and inherited characteristics. First, they read the background excerpt given about bacteria and viruses. Then, students cut...

Students review the parts of the eukaryotic animal cell and construct a model using various types of candy.

Students explain how cells reproduce. In this biology lesson, students transcribe and translate a gene. They discuss and compare their answers in class.

Lead your biology class on a cell-sized adventure! Emerging scientists construct models of prokaryotes, then design an experiment to properly grow a bacterial culture. They conclude the activity by viewing the culture under a microscope....

Pupils state the three parts of cell theory. They identify the roles of the nucleus and cell membrane. They take notes from the overhead on cell theory. They answer true/false questions about cell theory.

Students compare the organelles present in plant and animal cells. In this biology lesson, students create an analogy to easily remember their assigned organelles. They also research their function and write a creative story.

Students successfully count by twos, threes and fives, using pictures of eggs and poultry as points of interest. They orally review the types of counting (twos, threes, or fives). Students are introduced the idea of a dozen eggs.

In this bacteria learning exercise, students fill in the blanks with the correct word. Students then label the structures found on a bacterium.

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

Sixth graders identify, locate and describe the function of the parts of a cell. In groups, they state the five stages of mitosis and put them in the correct order. They are introduced to the structure of DNA and mRNA and how they...

In this biology worksheet, students identify and locate various vocabulary terms related to cells. There are 12 biology terms located in the word search.

In this DNA worksheet, students read information about DNA and messenger RNA. Then students complete 16 short answer questions and color 2 images.

It has been decades since the discovery of DNA. Still, activities such building this DNA model allow blossoming scientists to better understand the components that form this overall structure. During this activity, they will also...

How do changes in DNA affect an organism? Scholars explore chromosomes, genes, DNA, and mutations by modeling the DNA of a strawberry. They build a DNA model, then manipulate it to show how changing the genes transforms the strawberry...

In this sponge worksheet, students read about the different parts of a sponge and answer 20 short answer questions that follow. They color and label different sponge drawing.

Students explore the evolution and features of bacteria through a series of activities. In this biology lesson, students collect data and graph bacterial growth. They design a brochure about bacteria's role in society.

Young scholars examine the concept of DNA. They work together to extract DNA cells from their classmate's cheek. They answer questions related to what to do with their DNA now that they have it.

Students list the parts of cell theory and describe and define vocabulary.  In this cell instructional activity students complete a handout that includes sketching a cell.
