Students learn about cells. In this cells lesson plan, students take several days to learn about plant and animal cells and make their own edible cells with a cookie and icing.

Seventh graders use technology to review cell structure and function. In this cells less, 7th graders review the parts and functions of a cell, and use photography/video and PowerPoint to enhance their explorations.

Middle schoolers record information and write journal entries on the structure and function of cell organelles while viewing a Powerpoint presentation.

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.

In this DNA worksheet, 9th graders read a brief excerpt pertaining to the genetic code and identify how proteins know which cell to create. Then they use the genetic code dictionary to draw a diagram showing the codons for an imaginary...

Middle schoolers 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...

Classify living things with a set of worksheets that has pupils sorting and indentifying living and non-living things. Learners use the worksheets as a basis for finding their answers. 

Out of all animals, elephants alone lack the ability to jump. Scholars learn all about animals using a presentation full of fun examples. It describes different types of animals, the biological similarities and differences between...

Electrons flow from negative to positive, but the general consensus is that current flows from positive to negative. Scholars explore current through construction of circuits in both series and parallel. The focus is on voltage,...

Roger Kornberg, the oldest son of two biochemists, won the 2006 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Learn about Kornberg and his scientific research with an animation, videos, biography, and an applied problem-solving activity. A summary and...

In this biology worksheet, students locate and identify each of the vocabulary terms relating to cells on the bottom of the sheet. There are 27 biology terms to locate in the word search.

Students explore the structure of a plant cell. They carefully peel a single layer of onion skin from a slice of onion and stain it with methylene blue to observe the structures inside. They use a Digiscope connected to a computer to...

For this cells learning exercise, students answer questions about the first person to see a cell as well as the evolution of microscopes. They define the parts of a cell and tell the differences between Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes. There...

In this cells worksheet, students will review cell characteristics and structure and different types of cells and what role they play in the body. Students will investigate experimental results of the influence of sucrose on the...

Students use various snacks to make large models of human cells. Items such as gumballs, gummy worms, and jelly beans represent the nucleus, golgi bodies, and mitochondria. As each piece of candy is added, the teacher explains what it...

Fourth graders create analogies in poster format between a cell's organelles and their school. For example, 4th graders coul say a cell's mitochondria is like the cafeteria, both are a source of energy.

Fifth graders, in groups, create a plant or animal cell out of cookies, frosting, and candy pieces.

Students become familiarized with use of the microscope.

Students investigate and then build neurons in this lesson. They are examined as key parts of the brain and nervous system and seen as different from normal cells.

Students recognize that all living things are made up of cell and that they cannot easily be seen by the naked eye. Students become familiar with the use of microscopes as a tool for investigation.

In this internal systems and regulation activity, students correctly decide if given statements are true or false. Students apply information learned about the circulatory system to the given statements to determine statements of truth...

Students define the key terms that are the structure and function of DNA. In this genetics lesson students complete a lab activity in which they construct a model DNA structure.

For this euglena worksheet, students read information about these unicellular organisms. Students then color in the different structures of the euglena on a diagram. Students complete 10 short answer questions.

In this fertilization activity, students complete 10 short answer questions about the phases of fertilization then place 6 events of fertilization in the appropriate order on a timeline.
