Five pages provide thorough coverage of three protozoans: euglena, amoebae, and paramecia. For each, junior biologists read factual text, label the organism, and write answers to several questions. This neatly organized assignment is...

In this protist worksheet, learners complete a crossword puzzle with 34 questions about the behaviour and different types of protists.

Using terms from a word bank, biologists complete a graphic organizer of protist structure and behavior. It is a simple worksheet, but helps visual learners to mentally organize these concepts. Use this resource as a note-taking guide or...

In this Prokaryotes and Protists worksheet, students are given details about the Kingdom Monera and Kingdom Protista. Included are examples of the species in each kingdom, the characteristics of each kingdom and how the species are...

Holoplankton are always plankton, whereas meroplankton are only plankton as larvae. Reveal several examples of each to your young marine biologists with this PowerPoint presentation. The first seven slides, an introduction to...

Here is an outstanding presentation on protista. It lists general characteristics, and then moves on to describing three different categories of protists. For each, viewers learn physical features, behaviors, and means of reproduction....

With this collection of slides, future biologists get to view photographs of protozoans from different phyla. Interspersed with the photos are bullet-style notes listing characteristics of each group. Unfortunately, most of the pictures...

Bacteria outnumber all other living organisms found on Earth. Explore the evolutionary precursor to multicellular organisms, unicellular organisms with a video that delves into the world of bacteria, protists, and archaea and compares...

Where do we put the organisms that don't fit in the other eukarya groups? We call them protists. A video explains why there is so much variety within the kingdom and the few things they do have in common with each other. 

Learners use this WebQuest to explore the vast diversity of microbes, especially those microbes of the Atlantic Cedar Swamps. They tell a story about the protests of the Atlantic Cedar Swamp in the form of anthropomorphism.
