University of Cincinnati: Project Step: Cell Structure and Function

In this biology worksheet, learners complete a crossword puzzle with 46 questions on cell structure and function. They identify different cell organelles.

Does your biology class know how the parts of a cell—or how they connect to each other? A word bank provides vocabulary terms for learners to complete a concept map regarding general cell structure and function.

Cells of different organs have unique cell functions. Learn how cell functions vary depending on their roles in the body using an inquiry-based activity. Scholars analyze the cell structure to make comparisons to its functions, allowing...

Lead your high school class on an exploration inside the cell. Individuals investigate the relationships between cells structure and function given their relative locations on the cell membrane. They explore the concept of homeostasis...

Life science learners investigate live cells. They examine wet mount slides of cyanobacteria and Elodea plants. They peer into the dynamic microscopic world of protists. Afterward, they construct a model of a cell, including rudimentary...

Extensive biology course material on cell structure and function, that is enriched with videos and images to demonstrate the processes being explained.

After studying the structure and functions of living cells using textbooks, internet or encyclopedias, high schoolers prepare a PowerPoint presentation on cell structure and present it to the class.

Students investigate how mutations lead to changes in cell structure and function. They construct an oligonucleotide, identify a protein sequence, design a step-by-step mechanism of how they think cells repair damaged DNA, and prepare...

STEM biology lesson where by designing their own antibiotics, students will gain an understanding of how the differences between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells have played a role in their own health. They will also be able to...

Discover how the structure of DNA relates to its hereditary function in these videos from the American Masters film Decoding Watson. The first video, "DNA Structure and Function," [2:07] can be used with all middle and high school...
