Making Three Dimensional Plant and Animal Cells

Students create two different cells, one plant and one animal.  In this plant and animal cell lesson students form groups and construct a part of a cell. Students then put them all together to form one plant or animal cell. 

Directions for making a model of an animal cell as homework are delineated on a single-page handout. It is a useful version of instructions for a classic assignment in any middle school life science curriculum. 

Incorporate multiple facets of the cell into your next high school lab! Through an introduction to cell organelles, class members observe each cell type and draw visuals to further demonstrate understanding of cellular processes in both...

Energize the cells of young biologists with an edible life science activity. Engaging students in exploring the inner workings of plant and animal cells, this activity involves using colored jello and various sweet and tasty treats to...

Students define the function of the different parts of a cell. In this biology instructional activity, students  discuss cell structures and how its organelles perform basic functions. They differentiate between human and animal cells.

Investigate the parts and functions of animal and plant cells. Observe slides on which different types of cells are displayed and answer questions on a related worksheet. Construct a cell model using household items such as pasta and...

Using stunning computer imagery, this resource introduces life science learners to cells. It zeros in on the animal cell and the function of its more prominent organelles. Additional support is offered in the form of a self-assessment...

All mammals have warm blood, are vertebrates, breathe with their lungs, have hair or fur on their bodies, and produce milk for their young. But not all mammals give birth to their young in the same manner. Watch a video that explains how...

Using a piece of pink paper as the cytoplasm of an animal cell, beginning biologists color and cut out organelles on the handout to glue onto their cell models. Afterward, they create a list of the structures and describe the function of...

Being able to absorb the abilities of other life forms may seem like something taken from a superhero movie, but sometimes reality is stranger than fiction. Join the narrator as he takes viewers back billions of years to investigate how...
