Get up close and personal with cells in a hands-on journey to discover what makes up living things. Scholars learn valuable microscope skills, delve into the Modern Cell Theory, and gain insight into how cells reproduce. The included lab...

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...

For scholars tired of reading the textbook, this unit includes nine hands-on lessons. Through group work, lab activities, experiments, and even one inquiry-based lesson, scholars apply knowledge about cells, genetics, and...

A pinch of adenine, a dash of thymine and ta-da, you have life! Well, it's not quite that simple, but through this series of activities and experiments young scientists learn about the structure of DNA and how it contains the recipe...

This animated explanation introduces the concept of mitosis by reviewing the research of Walther Flemming.

Overview of mitosis and the cell structures that are critical to the process.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] A description of the stages of eukaryotic cell division.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] A description of the stages of eukaryotic cell division, a summarization of mitosis and the metaphase plate, an explanation of the function of the centrioles and the...

In this third unit of a Biology course, students learn about cells and cell structure. They compare prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and learn about the specialized structures in a cell and what their functions are. They will also learn...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] No matter what the cell, all cells come from preexisting cells through the process of cell division. This module provides an overview of cell division in prokaryotes...

This multimedia article includes animations, pictures, video, biographical information, and quiz questions that are accessed by clicking on buttons along the bottom of the page. The topic is the study of cell division, mitosis, and cell...

Through informational text, interactive simulations, and step-through animations, students discover two major processes of cell reproduction; mitosis and meiosis.

In this unit, students look at the components of cells and their functions and discover the controversy behind stem cell research. The first lesson focuses on the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. In the second lesson,...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Cell division is just one of several stages that a cell goes through during its lifetime. Students will learn about the phases of the cell cycle, specifically the...

A complete, student-led lesson on cell structure, cell division, and cancer growth. Students work their way through illustrations and animated tutorials, and answer review questions along the way. There is a self-checking quiz at the end...

Through informational text, interactive activities, online labs, and video animations, students explore the major concepts of cell reproduction.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] During mitosis, the DNA in a nucleus must replicate. The copied DNA is divided into two genetically identical sets, so that after cytokinesis or cell division, each...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] The process of cell division in eukaryotic cells is carefully controlled. The cell cycle is the life cycle of a cell, with cell division at the end of the cycle....

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] An overview of the eukaryotic cell cycle.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Cells do eventually wear out. At that point, they need to be replaced. This is one reason that your cells divide. New cells that result after cells divide are also...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] An overview of cell division in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] An overview of the eukaryotic cell cycle.

The Cell Biology Project at the University of Arizona provides an explanation of mitosis, DNA basics, diagrams and a practice exercise.

This lesson focuses on cell specialization. This cell must divide to produce a multi-cellular organism. It must also differentiate, so that its cells develop features that enable them to fulfil specific roles. Links are provided to a...
