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 create model cells using gelatin, toothpicks, and various fruits to represent organelles. Then, students observe their models and complete a Venn Diagram comparing and contrasting plant and animal cells.

Liken a cell and its organelles to a tiny person and its organs. After gathering information on cell structures and their functions, small groups collaborate to come up with an analogy of their own. They produce a collage describing the...

Students create a three dimensional model of a cell. In this cellular structure lesson, students use gelatin, plastic bags, plastic containers, and fruit to construct a model of a cell. They compare the cells structures and stack them to...

Young scholars examine the roles of an animal cell's parts, how each part relates to one another and then demonstrate their knowledge by writing a story about the animal cell structure.

Students study and identify the structures and functions of animal cells.

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

Students draw cells, make a cell, and list organelles in plant and animal cells. In this cells lesson plan, students create edible cells.

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

Students 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.

Pupils draw parts and functions of an animal cell.

Sixth graders show what they know about plant and animal cells. In this cell project lesson, 6th graders get to choose a project based on their learning style. They can create a visual representation of cells, auditory forms, or build a...

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

Students explore the significance of a resting and an active heart rate. In this heart lesson students chart data on their pulse and draw a diagram of the heart.

Students use multicolored soft candies (gumdrops and candy orange slices) and toothpicks to create models of DNA structures. They discuss the fact that DNA must copy itself before splitting into two cells. Students demonstrate this by...
