Schools and Cells

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...

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...

Organelles, cellular respiration, ATP, and DNA. The passage attached to this life science reading comprehension instructional activity is all about cells. After reading about diffusion and osmosis, kids answer a series of questions based...

In this science crossword puzzle learning exercise, students answer 8 clues using vocabulary associated with cell structures. The questions are mostly about structures and functions.

In this building your own cell instructional activity, students identify cell vocabulary and facts, and create posters of a labeled plant cell and an animal cell. In this fill-n-the-blank and posters instructional activity, students...

The billions of cells that make up all living things are the focus of this resource. Understanding the differences between the cells that make up plants and animals is an important distinction; it is covered here quite-well. Some...

Introduce students to cells, and their many parts in this biology presentation. Students see that plant and animal cells have many of the same type of structures, but also have many differences as well. They will be challenged to state...

This is a thorough site which contains a glossary of plant/animal cell anatomy terms. Diagrams of both cells are included along with worksheets to label.

Learners discuss the Earth's energy. In this science lesson, students construct a simple circuit, a series circuit, and a parallel circuit.
