Fourth graders create cartoon characters which compare and contrast two types of cells: nerve and muscle. Cartoon characters show how these two cells are similar, how they are different, and the relationship between the two cell types.

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.

Students examine and research the organs of the respiratory system. They participate in a vocabulary card matching game, create a graphic organizer, and participate in an experiment titled, Floating on Air.

Young scholars create simple 2D concept driven visualizations of cells and cell organelles and organize them into an effective presentation.

Tenth graders explore concepts of surface area, volume, and ratios, create spreadsheets to aid organization of data collected and provide graphing capabilities, and use NIH Imaging to enable calculations of microscopic organisms.

Students create analogies that help them remember the cell parts as well as their respective functions.

Pupils explore the function and structures of cells, including plant and animal cells. They explore cell parts including cell wall, ribosomes, chromosomes, nucleoid, plasmids, flagella, pilli, and plasma membrane, cel

Students use a hands-on activity which enhance their understanding of the 3-D characteristics of cells while reinforcing their knowledge of plant and animal cell structure.

Young scholars study a plant cell and its parts.  In this cell organelle instructional activity students are to label parts of a plant cell and color...

Young scholars study animal classification.  In this classification instructional activity students examine animal characteristics and answer questions on a handout.

Students differentiate the characteristics of living and nonliving things. In this life science instructional activity, students compare and contrast robots and living things. Given an object, they decide whether it's is living or...

Eighth graders review concepts in cellular biology. In this biology lesson, 8th graders play an interactive game based on the idea of winning money. They discuss misconceptions about the topic.

Young scholars identify the different parts of the cells and their functions. For this biology lesson, students create an analogy of a cell and its organelles. They make a poster and present it to class.

Seventh graders identify the different parts and functions of the cell. In this biology lesson, 7th graders make a labelled diagram of either a plant or animal cell. They write a story about it.

Students construct a mitosis flip book. In this biology lesson, students describe the different stages of mitosis. They discuss the importance of cell reproduction.

Seventh graders describe the stages of mitosis. In this biology lesson, 7th graders explain the importance of cell division. They complete an activity packet at the end of the lesson.

Ninth graders share what they know about cells. In this biology instructional activity, 9th graders study different microscopic images of the cell. They draw one and explain to their partner why they chose that image.

Pupils compare and contrast a cell and a battery. In this physical science lesson, students explain how they create energy. They conduct an experiment to apply what they have learned in this lesson.

Tenth graders work on a project about cellular biology and genetics. In this biology lesson plan, 10th graders research about the assigned human body system and genetic disorders that affect it. They create a multimedia presentation and...

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

Students compare the organelles present in plant and animal cells. In this biology lesson, students create an analogy to easily remember their assigned organelles. They also research their function and write a creative story.

Sixth graders study living cells and their functioning units.  In this cell lesson students color cell diagrams, answer questions and discuss the differences between plant and animal cells. 

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

Students list the parts of cell theory and describe and define vocabulary.  In this cell lesson students complete a handout that includes sketching a cell.
