Combine art and science with this cell structure assignment. Learners depict a cell diagram, including the organelles, imitating a specific artist's style. 

Cells of different organs have unique cell functions. Learn how cell functions vary depending on their roles in the body using an inquiry-based activity. Scholars analyze the cell structure to make comparisons to its functions, allowing...

Biology buffs illustrate the workings of the cell membrane when they complete this checklist. Not only do they draw the structure, they also draw gradients and mechanisms for the transport of materials across the membrane. Your advanced...

Intended to supplement your existing cell function and organelle lessons, pairs work together to develop a real-world analogy for cell structures. In addition to writing paragraphs about the comparison, each group will make a short...

Spread your knowledge of spreadsheets. The first of five tutorials in the Spreadsheet Data Analysis unit introduces the basics of spreadsheets. It shows future data analysts how to organize and format tables, and how to use functions to...

Cells are both made of molecules and make molecules all at the same time! An exploratory lesson provides a means for scholars to research the components of cells made of molecules and also investigate the molecule-producing power of...

Before a cell replicates, its DNA must replicate. Take advantage of a hands-on guided lesson to teach budding scientists how this happens. Using a set of nucleotide cards, learners become the DNA and work to create matching strands...

Different types of mutations cause unique types and degrees of muscular dystrophy. Scholars learn about the types of mutations and the impact on the body. They compare the location of the mutations and draw conclusions about how it is...

How do reverse transcriptase inhibitors work? Young virologists examine the function of azidothymidine, a drug doctors use to treat HIV patients, during a hands-on modeling activity. Groups create a strand of DNA from an HIV RNA strand...

Put your heart into it. Scholars design and build replacements for mitral heart valves. Obviously, they can't test their creations on a real heart, so a box with marbles (to represent blood cells) will suffice.

Get up close and personal with DNA! A two-part hands-on activity has learners extract DNA from a small organism and then their own cheek cells. Scholars then explore DNA replication using questions to guide their analyses.

How effective are cells at repairing UV damage? An inquiry-based lesson has learners experiment with organism by exposing them to various levels of UV light and then examining their DNA after a period of time. Pupils test different...

The t-test tutorial will fit your needs to a T. After calculating the mean, sum of squares, standard deviation, and variance of two data sets on a spreadsheet, scholars learn to calculate the t-values. They then learn to use the TTEST...

Biology or health nuts select a disease to research and produce a pamphlet that can be used to inform the public. The tri-fold product is worth 100 points according to the included grading page.

DNA carries the codes for creating just the right protein. A well-designed lesson leads pupils through the process from start to finish and everywhere in between. Guiding questions with supporting video help scholars understand the...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Covers the structure and function of the nucleus. Students will learn about the structures associated with the nucleus like the nuclear envelop, the nucleolus,...

Describes the steps in how to make a model of a plant cell using simple materials and sweet foods like jello and candy.

Describes the steps for making a model of a plant cell in two different ways. The first way uses mostly sweet foods and the second way uses a shoebox, clay, and simple materials.

This StudyCards stack enables students to review the terms associated with the structures that comprise a living cell.

Describes the steps in how to make a model of a plant cell using clay and simple materials found at home. Suggestions for variations are also given.

An inquiry type lab activity that simulates cell membrane structure and function. This activity can be used in any Life Science or Biology classroom.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Tutorial describes the detailed structure and function of the plasma membrane, explains semipermeability, and summarizes the structure of a phospholipid.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Activity explores proteins in the plasma membrane describing their structure and function. The Fluid Mosaic Model is also summarized.

Students use the CellSheet App to enter data and text in cells, create cell formulas and use built-in functions. Student explore the utility of this App in science classes, such as Chemistry and Biology. They calculate the molarity of a...
