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.

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

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

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

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...
