Parts of a Cell

A nice large diagram of the cell membrane tops an excellent cell transport worksheet. Cell biologists describe the actions occurring in four different instances on the diagram. Then they analyze the description of a lab activity in which...

After learning about cell structure and function, pairs work together to create a travel brochure highlighting the special features of a cell. By thinking creatively about the organelles, learners will gain a deeper understanding of the...

Introduce your learners to cells and organelles with this resource. This series of handouts and images asks young scientists to read short informational paragraphs, answer identification questions, and color and label diagrams of an...

Simplify the parts of a cell with this handout and brief activity. Learners read a two-page explanation of the parts of a cell that includes bolded vocabulary words. Using what they have just read, class members answer 19...

Eukaryotes include humans, animals, and plants. Scholars learn about the parts of eukaryotic cells. They design models of a store and match the correct function of each part to the function of a part of the cell. They review their...

Help young biologists develop an understanding of eukaryotic cells with this simple exercise. Provided with a list of organelles found in plant an animal cells, students must correctly identify the function of each and record any...

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...

Does anyone remember seeing the movie Fantastic Voyage? This app is reminiscent of that imaginary journey through the human body, but in this case, venture even further into individual cells!

Lipids found in your body include oils, fats, and hormones. The video discusses lipids and their importance to your body, wax, and vitamins. Then, it identifies and explains the job of each part of eukaryotic cells.

Different cells have different shapes for their individual purposes. Look at the variety of cells and the structures inside as you examine these diagrams and microscopic images. Each part of a cell is explained according to its function.
