Bread Cells
Fifth graders examine plant and animal cells. In this plant and animal cell lesson, 5th graders define what cells are, label their parts, and describe how plant and animal cells are different. They observe cells at a number of web sites,...
Curated OER
The Cell
Students visualize plant and animal cells, explain the parts of a cell and their functions and distinguish plant cells from animal cells. Working Students, in groups, must present a particular portion of a cell to the entire class.

Sweet 16 Cell Biology Tournament
In this cell structures worksheet, learners review the parts of a cell using a "tournament" with brackets. They follow rules for each bracket to determine which cell structures "advance" to the next round.
Curated OER
Onion Cells
Young scholars observe the cells of an onion by wet mounting it and viewing it in a microscope. In this hands on activity students make their own wet mount slide of an onion and are able to identify the cells in it such as, the nucleus,...

Cells: The Basic Units of Life
In this cell worksheet, students identify the function of 4 different parts of a cell, complete 4 word connections, and complete a word puzzle about cells.
Curated OER
Community Cell
Middle schoolers explore parts and functions of the cell, and create models of assigned organelles.

Lesson 2: the Cell Cycle
Students explain how cells reproduce. In this biology lesson, students explain the different stages of the cell cycle. They calculate the number of new cells produced.
Biology Junction
Cellular Structure
The human body contains more than 200 types of cells, and plants contain many other unique types of cells. While a huge variety of cells exist, they appear to have very similar structures. A detailed presentation describes the structure...

Parts of the Cell
High schoolers examine plant and animal cells to observe the organelles present in the cell, to match the function of each to the organelle on a cell model and to build a model of the plant or animal cell.
Curated OER
The Cell: Unit of Life
Students identify the parts of plant and animal cells, how samples can be obtained and what the differences are.
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...
