Students examine how traits are passed to offspring.  In this genetic reproduction instructional activity students develop a model of dna and learn about its structure, replication and function.

Students examine how living cells reproduce and how traits are passed on.  In this genetic reproduction instructional activity students research a topic and present it to the class. 

Students examine cell division and the process of mitosis.  In this cell reproduction lesson students grow yeast and observe the results, and learn about the career of scientific illustration. 

Students study meiosis and how it leads to variation. In this genetic reproduction lesson students complete a lab activity that calculates different genetic possibilities.

Give this summary of 16 pages of a text to your class to deepen understanding of cell permeability, diffusion, ions, and more. The handout portion includes vocabulary clarifications, detailed color diagrams, and important information;...

Young scholars identify that yeast are a single celled fungi that are a great model organism for studying respiration in the classroom. They also fill the bulb of a disposable pipet (eyedropper) with yeast, then submerge the pipet in a...

Students create three-dimensional cell models. They may choose to make either a plant or animal cell but must use a Ziploc bag as the cell membrane, slime for the cytoplasm, and strawberry baskets for the cell wall if making a plant...

Learners (females) are introduced to the cell. They discuss what a cell is, and students define what a cell is. Learners comprehend that all living things are made up of cells. They comprehend that life is defined as something that...

Students explore epidermal cells. After following specified procedures for removing epidermal cells from their wrist, students view the cells with the use of a microscope. After creating a drawing of their observation, students label the...

Learners learn how to identify cell addresses, format cell contents, add pop-up comments to a cell, and also apply conditional formatting. They use clues and words to make a geometry crossword puzzle pertaining to geometrical shapes.

Young scholars use the internet to research information about cells in order to create a 3-D model of a cell. They may choose either to research a plant or animal cell. Students locate and identify the parts of a cell and build a 3-D...

Young scholars work in small groups to match cell vocabulary terms to the appropriate cell part in a photograph. They use a draw program to sketch a plant and animal cell.

Students isolate DNA from different food sources. In this biology lesson, students research DNA extraction. They analyze DNA stands collected from the lab, and compare the differences between each.

Students study the parts of a cell.  In this chemistry instructional activity students complete an activity in which they make as much slime as they want. 

This module focuses on cell structure and how the organelles function together to form the smallest unit of life. The cell theory is also discussed along with the basics features of the cell. Site also includes an interactive practice...

Take a peek inside a plant or animal cell, and examine the structure and function of each organelle.

A chart which identifies each part of a cell, the location, the description, and the function.

This lesson will show the 8 levels of organization in living organisms, ranging from smallest to largest. It is 2 of 4 in the series titled "8 Levels of Organization."
