Course identification information is included in the upper left corner as well as within the title of this worksheet. If you overlook or remove that information, you are left with a tremendous college biology assignment. There are only...

Students examine microscopic life by conducting a scientific investigation. In this cell analysis instructional activity, students define the prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and discuss their word origins. Students view each type of...

Learners are introduced to Gaia theory of natural homeostasis. They graph Earth's temperatures over time, construct terrariums or monitor the outdoor environment. Related videos titles are suggested, but may be outdated. The objectives...

Although these slides are text rich, the summaries of prokaryote characteristics will be useful. There are diagrams of preferred cell conditions and your students will find all the basic definitions of structure and functions...

The first of three pages in this handout provides a brief history of our understanding of the cell. It also differentiates between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The second is a collection of true and false, multiple choice, and short...

Five pages take biologists on a generalized survey of the origin of life. Queries are made regarding theories of how life developed, ancient Earth conditions, and the ever-changing field of taxonomy. The experiments of different...

First year life science or biology pupils will appreciate this all-inclusive reference page. It provides a diagram of both a plant and an animal cell, the metric system prefixes, classification levels, definitions for cell processes, the...

For this cells worksheet, 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 are 20...

In this evolution learning exercise, high schoolers will complete a table by writing in the era and biological event based on 4 different time periods of Earth's history. Students will answer 8 fill in the blank questions based on the...

Tenth graders explore the parts of a cell. In pairs, classmates construct a model of a eukaryotic cell, detailing its morphology and function. With the use of computer technology, 10th graders create cell book for middle schoolers. ...

For this cell structure worksheet, students complete 50 multiple choice question review quiz about the different functions and parts of the cell.

Tenth graders study the timeline of life on Earth. They learn about the progression of prokaryotes to single celled eukaryotes and the development of increasingly complex multicellular organisms.

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

How effective are cells at repairing UV damage? An inquiry-based lesson has learners experiment with organism by exposing them to various levels of UV light and then examining their DNA after a period of time. Pupils test different...
