Cells Teacher Resources

Students explore the cell cycle. They examine why the cell cycle is necessary. Students discuss the processes of interphase and mitosis. They explore the general phases of mitosis; prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

Pupils explore the parts of a cell. They identify the structures of plant and animal cells. Students explain the functions of plant and animal cells. They compare and contrast animal cells to plant cells. Pupils create a model of the cell.

In this biology worksheet, students respond to 13 multiple choice questions related to cell structure and function. They identify which are microfilamets and which have a cell wall. Students also describe what chloroplasts are and their...

In this cell membrane worksheet, students use the Nelson Biology text to complete the blanks. Students then sketch and label two figures found within the text.

In this cell cycle learning exercise, 7th graders study the various images of the cell cycle. Students then label each picture with the correct cycle. Students then answer several questions about the cell cycle.

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.

In this online interactive science quiz worksheet, learners respond to 4 multiple choice questions about stem cells and their functions.

Students examine the cell cycle and how its duration can vary.  In this cells lesson students complete a worksheet and answer questions. 

Fourth graders draw on previous knowledge and create hand-held flip books that show a cell going through the motions of the cell cycle. They create a flip book, which illustrates the cell cycle.

Students discuss the importance of reproduction of cells. They identify and describe the stages of Mitosis. They discover what happens to chromosomes and DNA during reproduction.

Students examine their cheek cells with a compound microscope. They identify different parts of the cell. They compare and contrast animal and plant cells with the microscope as well.

Students 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.

Students review cell theory, identify major organelles found in typical cell, describe function of each major organelle, compare plant and animal cells, and demostrate understanding that cancer is caused by uncontrolled division of cells.

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.

Learners create two different cells, one plant and one animal.  In this plant and animal cell lesson students form groups and construct a part of a cell. Learners then put them all together to form one plant or animal cell. 

Students observe the cells of an onion by wet mounting it and viewing it in a microscope.  In this hands on lesson students make their own wet mount slide of an onion and are able to identify the cells in it such as, the nucleus,...

For this stem cells worksheet, learners answer multiple choice questions about research found in stem cells. Students complete 5 questions total.

Students predict the number of cells after a series of cell divisions.  In this cells lesson students create a graph of their results and create a patterned drawing. 

Pupils study cellular structures and functions.  In this cell function lesson students participate in a class discussion then make a drawing of the cell they are discussing. 

Students compare and contrast the characteristics of robots and cells. In this biology lesson, students examine the parts and function of cell organelles. They create a visual representation of their cell/robot analogy.

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.

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.

Eighth graders construct edible models of a plant cell and an animal cell and state the functions of the organelles. They are to write a short sentence describing the function of each organelle.

Students research both plant and animal cell characteristics. They draw the parts of each cell and as groups present their research.
