Curated OER
Cells in the Making
Students examine and research the parts of a cell, their functions, and life processes. They simulate how cells receive nutrients using coffee filters, water, and coffee, and construct cells using pudding, cookie dough, and candy.
Curated OER
Seeing Cells
Learners discuss what comes to mind when they hear the term cell and discuss what a cell is in biological terms. They look at pictures of cells and color a picture of a cell diagram, writing the job of each part as they go. After the...
Curated OER
Hands-on Cells
Middle schoolers review the components of a cell and the differences between plant and animal cells by creating a three-dimensional model of each type of cell. In small groups, they use modeling clay and household object to construct...
Curated OER
Stem Cell Bioethics
Students study the steps of embryonic development. They distinguish between the advantages/disadvantages of embryonic stem cells vs. adult stem cells and discuss the ethical implications of stem cell research.
Curated OER
Cellular Models
Each student construct a model of a cell on a large cookie, including the parts which were discussed during lecture.? Half of the class will be instructed to make plant cell models and the other half will be in charge of animal cell...

Anatomy: How Does the Cardiovascular System Work?
How can the circulatory system compare to a city map? Pupils distinguish the "roadways" and "vehicles" of the cardiovascular system, compare the anatomy and function of veins and arteries, and review different types of blood cells with...
Curated OER
Seeing the Cell as a System
Students explain how the components of a cell operate as a system. Students examine a bicycle and find out if parts were arranged differently, could the system still be carried out. They look at cells as well and see what function they...

The Different Jobs of Cells
In this cells worksheet, students review different types of cells including their different functions and shapes. This worksheet has 6 matching and 3 short answer questions.
Curated OER
P.L.E.P: Parts of Blood
Middle schoolers examine the different parts of blood. In this human blood lesson students work in groups and identify parts of blood and construct a model of human blood.
Curated OER
Cells
Students explore the types of cells and their appropriate function. After observing a PowerPoint presentation, students draw diagrams of cells. Using a specified website, students identify parts of plant and animal cells. They answer...
Curated OER
Cells Study Questions and Definition
In this cells worksheet, students define 14 words associated with cells. They answer 12 short answer questions about the structure and function of the cellular system.
Curated OER
Plant Cell Coloring
In this plant cell worksheet, students sharpen their science skills as they color the parts of a plant cell according to the instructions and then respond to 4 analysis questions.
Curated OER
A Cell Is Like A City
Students create analogies that help them remember the cell parts as well as their respective functions.
Curated OER
Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells
Students compare and contrast prokaryotes and eukaryotes. They name the organelles that are present in prokaryotes only and identify their functions. Students label the diagrams of the prokaryotic cell and the eukaryotic cell.
Curated OER
Quiz Questions - Cells
In this cells worksheet, students read and choose the multiple choice answers to 20 questions involving cells, microscopes, and the life process of Growth.
Curated OER
The Incredible, Edible Cell
Students discover organelles and the functions organelles perform in cells. In this biology lesson, students create model cells using Jell-o, then dissect their "cell" to examine the parts that create a cell. Students create a diagram as...
Curated OER
Cell Growth and Division
In this biology worksheet, 9th graders identify and explain what cell stay in inter-phase. Then they describe which stage of cell is the shortest and determine why that is true. Students also explain the process of mitosis.
Curated OER
Cells - Building Blocks of Life
In this cells worksheet, students review cell organelles and their functions plus the different processes that take place within cells. This worksheet has 9 matching and 5 true or false questions.
Curated OER
Cell Project
Learners 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.
Curated OER
Plant Structure, Function and Growth
Students study three structures of a plant as well as their locations and functions. In this botany lesson students complete several activities on plant organs and their functions.
Curated OER
Human Excretion: Living Environment
A solid review of the excretion system that presents diagrams and asks learners to name the labelled parts or to identify which parts perform the particular jobs stated.
Baylor College
What Is a Neuron?
Your class won't get on your nerves while doing this modeling activity! After teaching the structure and function of a neuron using the included diagrams, give individuals some clay and chenille stems so that they can make their own...
Concord Consortium
Aquapores
Aquapores allow water to travel through cell membranes while keeping other molecules out. The animation offers an up-close look at these parts of the cell membrane. It explores multiple vantage points and shows the importance of these...
