Students read and complete a worksheet about the levels of organization of living things from cells to organ systems. They use a text book and the "Cells R Us" worksheet included to create a metaphor for each of the levels. They then...

For this cells learning exercise, students answer questions about the first person to see a cell as well as the evolution of microscopes. They define the parts of a cell and tell the differences between Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes. There...

Eighth graders study the importance of cell division, compare cell division in prokaryotic and eucaryotic cells, identify the stages of mitosis and recognize meiosis in reproductive cells.

Students identify via slides prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. They identify plant or animal cells from slides or pictures. Students are given the question of the day. They are asked which has a nucleus, a prokaryotic or eukaryotic...

Students list differences between DNA-related terms and create a simple DNA circle map. They order terms including human body, organ, tissue, cell, nucleus, etc. from largest to smallest. They discuss differences and similarities among...

Students identify where mutations might occur and examine what effect those mutations will have through class discussion of DNA replication and cell division. Students then differentiate between mutations that affect individuals and...

Young scholars explore physical science by participating in a science role-play activity. In this DNA structure lesson, students discuss the different parts of the code that makes up our DNA and instructs our cells. Young scholars...

In this plant part learning exercise, students read the classified advertisements and match each of the plant parts to the job descriptions provided.

Students investigate how microscopes are used. They identify ways microscopes are used to see cells and in various careers. They complete activities involving creating a vocabulary book, crossword puzzles, designing posters, and...

While a short review of animals and their classifications, this could be useful when discussing this topic in the classroom. There is a list of questions at the end to help review the main ideas. Reptiles, amphibians, and mammals are...

Students examine the different parts of blood.  In this human blood lesson students work in groups and identify parts of blood and construct a model of human blood. 

In this cell worksheet, students will match 13 vocabulary words relating to cells to the correct definition. The cell vocabulary words cover all the parts of the cell plus eukaryotes, and prokaryotes.

For this cell division worksheet, students review the steps involved in a human somatic cell, from interphase to mitosis, to cytokinesis. This worksheet has 21 fill in the blank statements.

Ninth graders identify plant parts by using different classification methods. In this plant lesson students observe and draw different types of leaves then classify them according to species.

In this health learning exercise, students find the words that are part of the circulatory system and the answers are found by clicking the button at the bottom of the page.

Students idenitfy that cancer is a growth of mutated cells and that cancer cells are only one type of cell that causes disease in our body. They also identify that all eukaryotic cells contain a nucleus, cytoskeleton, and a cell...

Students explore the pattern of the unit cell. In this science lesson, students color the unit cells on a worksheet and create a pattern using unit cells.

In this cell phases worksheet, 7th graders study the phases of an onion cell. Students write the onion mitosis cell phases on the lines.

What an eccentric way to learn about each level of cellular organization! Allow emerging biologists to utilize white paper and create their own foldable charts to describe each level of organization in the body. You may also adapt the...

Demonstrate the ratio of surface area to volume in your high school class by using phenolphthalein, gelatin, and an onion. Intrigue the class by leading a discussion on osmosis and diffusion, then making "scientific jello." Participants...

Young scholars explore biology by identifying a diagram. For this cell anatomy lesson, students read a story about archeology and conduct a fictitious archeology dig in class in which they search for animal cells. Young scholars define a...

For this sponge worksheet, students read about the different parts of a sponge and answer 20 short answer questions that follow. They color and label different sponge drawing.

In this environmental worksheet, students complete a series of multiple-choice and short-answer questions on cell types, cell division, chromosomes, and plant species.

Tenth graders research about the different cell organelles. In this series of biology lessons, 10th graders compare two allotropes of carbon. They investigate how the rate of reaction is affected by concentration.
