Identify the different cell organelles in prokaryotes. Modelling the cells using Jell-o and candies will be a fun way to experience the cell in a hands-on way (different to using play-doh!). They observe cells under a microscope and draw...

High schoolers explore biology by researching living cells. In this living organism lesson plan, students participate in a role-playing activity in which all the high schoolers in class form one plant cell by portraying specific parts of...

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.

After actively participating in a unit on cells, the students act out and become the organelles. They will act out and explain the functions of what each of the organelles do for the cell.

Sixth graders, in groups, learn the morphology and function of organelles within plant and animal cells.

Young scholars participate in a teacher-guided activity to teach about protein synthesis. Student roles include one person as the DNA molecule, another is a single stranded sequence of complementary mRNA.

Seventh graders assume the role of stockholders in a fictitious biotech company. After investigating the cloning of pets, the effects of cloning on the health and well being of the cloned animal, and the ethical issues involved, groups...

Students compare the process of protein synthesis in an analogy. They simulate the process of protein synthesis kinesthetically using index cards and write a paragraph to explain the process.

Students organize picture cards of the sequene of how food gets from a farm to their home. They then sequence cards of how coffee grown in Colombia gets to their home comparing the differences.
