Cell Campaign
Students work in groups to create a new head of the cell to take over for the nucleus. In this cell lesson students produce a campaign that will show the importance of the organelle to the cell.
Curated OER
The Incredible, Edible Cell
Students discover organelles and the functions organelles perform in cells. In this biology lesson plan, students create model cells using Jell-o, then dissect their "cell" to examine the parts that create a cell. Students create a...
Curated OER
Cell Project
Students view a video of various cells and organelles. They create a 3-dimensional representation of a cell (complete with organelles) out of everyday objects that function in the same way as the various parts of the cell.
Curated OER
Cellular Structure and Function
Students examine animal and plant cells using a microscope and participate in a class discussion about the functions of the organelles. In this biology lesson, students use microscopes and videos to better understand the functions of...
Curated OER
Cell Structure and Function
Students compare the organelles present in plant and animal cells. In this biology lesson, students create an analogy to easily remember their assigned organelles. They also research their function and write a creative story.
Curated OER
Cell 4 Organelles Review
Students list and define all of the major organelles in a eukaryotic cell. They identify the correct placement of all the major organelles in a eukaryotic cell. They examine cell membrane and its function.
Curated OER
Plant and Animal Cell Structure
Seventh graders identify the different parts and functions of the cell. In this biology lesson, 7th graders make a labelled diagram of either a plant or animal cell. They write a story about it.
Curated OER
Cell Works
Pupils identify the different parts of the cells and their functions. In this biology lesson, students create an analogy of a cell and its organelles. They make a poster and present it to class.
Curated OER
Cell Cycle, Mitosis and Meiosis
Seventh graders describe the processes involved in mitosis and meiosis. In this life science lesson, 7th graders create chromosome models using strings and beads. They play a jeopardy team game at the end of the unit to review concepts...
Curated OER
Parts of the Cell
Students examine plant and animal cells to observe the organelles present in the cell, to match the function of each to the organelle on a cell model and to build a model of the plant or animal cell.
Curated OER
Looking Inside Cells
Seventh graders examine the functions and roles of membranes in cells. They discover the differences between plant and animal cells.
Curated OER
Edible Cells
Eighth graders construct edible models of a plant cell and an animal cell and state the functions of the organelles. They are to write a short sentence describing the function of each organelle.
Curated OER
"What If?" A Jigsaw Activity
Students, in groups, consider a scenario in which some structure of a cell has been changed. They explore how structural change affects the function of a cell and create a visual aid to illustrate their observations.
Curated OER
The Cell
Tenth graders explore the parts of a cell. In pairs, classmates construct a model of a eukaryotic cell, detailing its morphology and function. With the use of computer technology, 10th graders create cell book for middle schoolers. ...
Curated OER
Seeing the Cell as a System
Students explain how the components of a cell operate as a system. Students examine a bicycle and find out if parts were arranged differently, could the system still be carried out. They look at cells as well and see what function they...
Curated OER
Cancer: A Crisis of the Cells
Students analyze cancer data represented in graphs and charts. They describe the changes in cell structure and function as the result of cancer. They also examine phenomenas that are believed to cause cancer.
Curated OER
Selling Cells: a Study of Organelles and Cell Structure
Students study cellular structures and functions. In this cell function lesson students participate in a class discussion then make a drawing of the cell they are discussing.
Curated OER
Looking Inside Cells
Seventh graders analyze and identify the role of the cell membrane and nucleus. They create flash cards to help them review cell structures. They also compare plant and animal cells.
Curated OER
Cell Structure And Function
In this biology worksheet, students respond to 13 multiple choice questions related to cell structure and function. They identify which are microfilamets and which have a cell wall. Students also describe what chloroplasts are and their...
Curated OER
Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells
Students compare and contrast prokaryotes and eukaryotes. They name the organelles that are present in prokaryotes only and identify their functions. Students label the diagrams of the prokaryotic cell and the eukaryotic cell.
Curated OER
Introduction To Cell Structure and Function: What's Inside a Cell?
Tenth graders are introduced to the cell and some of its parts. Through the use of video, 10th graders see animal and plants cells and their parts. They learn terms used to explain the cell.
Curated OER
Cell Structures and Functions
Fifth graders search into animal and cell characteristics and their functions in this seven lesson unit. Replicas of the cell are constructed out of Jell-O as students probe the internet for details of the concepts.
