Ready to cell-ebrate all things cells? Bring a lesson plan that covers prokaryotic, eukaryotic, plant, and animal cells to your biology class. Pupils pair up and research organelles, use computers to create tables and presentations,...

Young scientists take a trip into the microscopic world of cellular biology with this practice exercise. Given pictures of different organelles, students must correctly identify specific parts of each cellular structure to demonstrate...

Young scientists demonstrate their understanding of cell transport on this comprehensive instructional activity. Focusing on cellular structure and the different processes that allow materials to move into, out of, and...

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...

This quiz just looks neat! It has two cell diagrams for biology class members to label. They also describe the function of each organelle. A prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell are displayed for them to compare, and then they fill in the...

Compare and contrast eukaryotes, prokaryotes, and viruses with a chart and a Venn diagram. Beginning microbiologists consider motility, reproductive ability, DNA content, and the presence of organelles. They write short answers to...

Liken a cell and its organelles to a tiny person and its organs. After gathering information on cell structures and their functions, small groups collaborate to come up with an analogy of their own. They produce a collage describing the...

Middle schoolers explore parts and functions of the cell, and create models of assigned organelles.

In this biology instructional activity, students locate and identify each of the vocabulary terms relating to cells on the bottom of the sheet. There are 27 biology terms to locate in the word search.

Students view a video of various cells and organelles. They create a 3-dimensional representation of a cell (complete with organelles) out of everyday objects that function in the same way as the various parts of the cell.

Students explore the diversity of life forms and the role that interdependency plays in our world through a mult-segmented unit. This segment introduces the unit.

Describes the three types of plant cells and their differences, and the structures within a plant cell and their functions.

Explains how an animal cell differs from a plant cell and describes the many parts of an animal cell and their functions.
