Cell Structures

Pregnant women exposed to PAH air pollution increase the risk of obesity in their children. The example of epigenetics, along with others, builds the basis for understanding the process of cell differentiation. Scholars view a video,...

The ups and downs of plant vascular tissue are described by your beginning botanists as they complete this activity. Xylem and phloem are defined and identified on actual color photographs. Functions of the different types of meristem...

A straightforward worksheet has botanists list plant organs and functions, plant cell organelles and their functions, specialized plant tissues and their functions. Three high-quality diagrams are displayed for them to label as well....

Life science learners investigate live cells. They examine wet mount slides of cyanobacteria and Elodea plants. They peer into the dynamic microscopic world of protists. Afterward, they construct a model of a cell, including rudimentary...

This carad activity helps learners explore detailed facts and scientific procedures around the human body and its cells. In this stem cell instructional activity, students utilize different colored flash cards to represent different...

Scientists found fossils of plants more than 420 million years old—but plants existed for up to 100 million years prior to these fossils. Learn about the importance of plants to the entire planet. Viewing a presentation helps scholars...

Non-vascular plants, like moss, are able to survive on photosynthesis. A video explains plant structure for both vascular and non-vascular plants. It includes the parts of each plant and adaptations to various environments such as...

Adult humans are made of around 40 trillion cells that can't be seen these without some really powerful microscopes! Learners tour both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, learning how their structures are similar and different, and...

Let's get to the root of biology. A video describes the difference between monocot and dicot plants. Then it explains the three main types of tissues in plants and the cells within each of these tissues. 

A multi-faceted lesson immerses AP biologists into the world of the stem cell. Using PowerPoint presentations, you introduce your class to diabetes and the possibility of finding cures through stem cell research. Online animations and...
