Cell Cycle Teacher Resources

Students explore anatomy and physiology using various activities. For this biology lesson, students reasearch about medical radiation and its applications. They study cell cycle, cell division and other processes that sustain life.

Twelfth graders research about the different careers in bioengineering. In this biology lesson, 12th graders identify the different stages in the cell cycle. They discuss the pros and cons of using radiation.

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.

Students work together in groups to complete various stations on the cycles of cells. Individually, they keep their completed work in a folder after following specific instructions on how to complete each experiment. They use the...

Ninth graders evaluate the use of radiation in medical procedures. In this biology lesson students compare and contrast meiosis and mitosis. They research the different applications of radiation.

Based on current scientific knowledge, all cells come from preexisting cells. Scholars learn about cell division, cell replication, mitosis, meiosis, and more with a PowerPoint. It describes the differences between prokaryotes and...

Paul Anderson gives an explanation of how to conduct a biology lab to see mitosis and meiosis. This clip is directed at teachers and shows how to use an onion root and the fungus sordaria to count up the phases and draw a cell cycle pie...

For this cell reproduction worksheet, scholars complete a concept map using different vocabulary words that describe the different phases a cell goes through in the reproduction process.

Is understanding the p53 gene the key to kicking cancer? Introduce a most-important protein through a presentation with colorful diagrams, simulations, and brief lectures. Viewers discover how p53 works, the cellular processes it...

Regulatory genes play very important roles in cell development. An animated video shows pupils an example of a regulatory gene and how p53 initiates transcription of a gene. The parts of a gene that control regulation are briefly...

Can you describe a gamete without using the words sperm or egg? Scholars play a vocabulary review game where they try to get other players to guess their words. Each card has the target word as well as two related words they must not...

In this biology worksheet, students identify and locate various vocabulary terms pertaining to cell processes and energy. There are 19 biology terms located in the word search.

Students list and identify cells in their body. They take notes and discuss mitosis and the cell cycle as they observe the teacher diagramming the stages of mitosis. Using strings to represent different chromosomes, students...

Learning about apoptosis and how cells can destroy themselves without any external influence is fascinating. Sal creates interest in the vast number of cells and the complexity of the human body. The likelihood of a mutation causing a...

Searching for simple ways to teach mitosis to high schoolers? Using colored chalk and onion root tips, pupils visually demonstrate what they view when looking through the lens of a microscope. There are also various ways to expand the...

Supplementing the review of mitosis and meiosis, the detailed slides give information about growth factors, cell communication, and regulator genes. A fascinating topic, your class will be inspired by the applications and developments of...

Cells demonstrate a life cycle like other living things, but what if death was no longer part of the cycle? Learn about the important balance requiring death to continue functioning. An online interactive introduces a group of scientists...

Doctors offer limited treatment options and no vaccine for Dengue Virus, which often requires intensive care. Scientists understand how the virus gets into cells and replicates, knowledge which they hope will lead to a cure or treatment....

The third in a series of 10 STEM project-based lessons focuses on cells types, functions, and physiology. Through research, discussions, writings, and presentations, groups learn about the difference between plant and animal cells, the...

Students examine how living cells reproduce to make new cells.  In this cell reproduction lesson students complete a lab activity and answer questions. 

Did you realize cells become restricted in the types of cells they produce as embryos develop? Stem cells might become anything, but late state cells can only become the specialized cell based on their locations. A captivating video does...

Concepts learned in the study of mitosisand biochemistry help when making life or death decisions. Compile a notebook or portfolio of work related to the project can make the research more organized and relevant.

Some amphibians respond to amputated limbs by fully regenerating functioning limbs. A short video permits viewers to observe a newt's cells working as stem cells, differentiating and regenerating into bones, muscle, skin, nerves, blood...
