Biology: Understanding Cellular Organelles
Learners distinguish the differences between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells. Using microscopes, they examine a variety of plant and animal cells. Working in groups, they draw and label plant and animal cells and show the mathematical...
Curated OER
Cell Structure and Function
Students discuss scientific advances brought about by the Mars Surveyor Space Program which impact on daily life, identify laboratory apparatus like microscopes, slides and coverslips, and use the microscopes to view cells and organisms.
Curated OER
Cell Types and Parts
Eighth graders, after creating a Venn Diagram comparing/contrasting animal and plant cells, writing ten similes describing cell types, or drawing a colored diagram of a cell, list cell types as well as describe and label cell parts. They...
Curated OER
Cells: Nature's Building Blocks
What you will find on this page is the general outline of a unit on the use of a microscope and the structure of the cell. There is no actual educational content here, so you will need to design the details of each of the four student...

Tic Tac Plant Parts
This plant biology PowerPoint introduces plant parts and their functions. This PowerPoint allows students to identify each plant part on a diagram, along with its' function. The slides contain a clear explanation of how each plant part...
Curated OER
The Cell Cycle
In this biology worksheet, students label 9 diagrams with the correct names. They also write short answers to 6 questions that follow.
Curated OER
Cell Organization
In this cell organization worksheet, 9th graders complete the table with each correct cell part and function for that particular part. Then they label the animal cell and the plant cell diagrams with each cell part.

Unit 3 Cell Structures: Cell Theory & Organelles
Learners examine cell structures in depth. They decide what grade they want to work for and do the assignments for that grade. They complete various assignments on cell theory and organelles.
Curated OER
Cell Factory
Middle schoolers examine the basic structures and functions of cells. They design and construct a factory cell model where each factory part corresponds to a cell part.
Curated OER
Cell Structure and Function
Students identify the main ideas of different cell theories. Using a microscope, they compare and contrast the structures and functions of prokaryotes and eukaryotes. They also compare and contrast animal and plant cells and complete...

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
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 Organelles
Learners explore biology by researching living cells. In this living organism lesson, students participate in a role-playing activity in which all the learners in class form one plant cell by portraying specific parts of a cell. Students...
