Cells - Overdrawing a Cell Micrograph

A solar cell is similar to a rechargeable battery in many ways. Science lab groups connect each in a series circuit to run a mini motor and then compare and contrast them by answering questions and completing a Venn diagram. This is an...

Give youngsters the components of a solar-powered electric circuit and turn them loose to figure out how to connect them in order for a light to shine or motor to turn. They compare energy output of a solar panel to that of a battery. On...

In this animal cell diagram worksheet, students are to draw a cell in the blank space and label it using words in the word bank. No information is given about what the cell would look like.

Breath new life into your class's study of dinosaurs with this extensive collection of materials. Offering everything from a printable T-rex mask, word searches, and connect-the-dots activities to informational handouts, hands-on...

In story form, this site examines the similarities and differences among bacteria, plant cells, and animal cells. Drawings supplement the text for clarity purposes.

Students discuss scientific advances brought about by the Mars Surveyor Space Program which impact on daily life, identify laboratory apparatus like microscopes, slides and coverslips, and use the microscopes to view cells and organisms.

Students create model cells using gelatin, toothpicks, and various fruits to represent organelles. Then, students observe their models and complete a Venn Diagram comparing and contrasting plant and animal cells.

As a lesson on scientific observation, have your class investigate the features of a penny and a nickel. Working in pairs, they practice writing detailed descriptions using their senses and a ruler to gather information. This is an...

Pupils study photovoltaic technology. In this photovoltaic technology lesson, students simulate a photovoltaic system. Pupils discuss how to simulate a cloudy day.

Students create simple 2D concept driven visualizations of cells and cell organelles and organize them into an effective presentation.
