Students review the parts of the plant and recognize the parts that are important for pollination.  In this pollination lesson, students illustrate and label the parts of a flower.  Students compare different types of flowers.

Learners identify parts of a cell. In this biology lesson, students create a simulated cell by using Jell-o, fruit roll ups, raisins, gum drops, and M&M's. Learners construct the simulated cell and identify each part.

Students visualize plant and animal cells, explain the parts of a cell and their functions and distinguish plant cells from animal cells. Working Students, in groups, must present a particular portion of a cell to the entire class.

Students investigate the properties of cell membranes by isolating the membrane surrounding chicken eggs. They set up an experiment by placing eggs in a vinegar solution for three days. A powerpoint lecture emphasizes the structure of...

Eighth graders, after creating a Venn Diagram comparing/contrasting animal and plant cells, writing ten similes describing cell types, or drawing a colored diagram of a cell, list cell types as well as describe and label cell parts. They...

Students investigate the components of a cell membrane. In this cell membrane lesson plan, students build a cell membrane model using toothpicks and candy to represent the parts of the membrane including the phospholipid bilayer and the...

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...

Eighth graders are introduced to cell organelles and their functions and the they define the differences between animal and plant cells. They write a paragraph explaining the difference between plant and animal cells and students...

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...

Create a neuron frenzy as your pupils play the part of the neurons. An engaging lesson plan creates a human chain of neurons that pass cotton balls posing as neurotransmitters. Scholars learn about pre- and post-synapses as they...

High schoolers describe the parts of a cell phone and role-play a phone call to a customer service representative. They compare/contrast the price of owning and using a cell phone in the U.S. and Venezuela.

Fifth graders examine plant and animal cells. In this plant and animal cell lesson, 5th graders define what cells are, label their parts, and describe how plant and animal cells are different. They observe cells at a number of web sites,...

Students measure the size of an epithelial cell and to estimate the number of epithelial cells in a given area of the body. After watching a video on cells, student groups perform an experiment using a microscope to view some of their...

What you will find on this page is the general outline of a unit on the use of a microscope and the structure of the cell. There is no actual educational content here, so you will need to design the details of each of the four student...

Students explore plant and animal cells. Using household items, students create a three-dimensional model of a plant or animal cell. Students identify and label each cell part.

Students explain how cells reproduce. In this biology lesson, students explain the different stages of the cell cycle. They calculate the number of new cells produced.

Learners discuss what comes to mind when they hear the term cell and discuss what a cell is in biological terms. They look at pictures of cells and color a picture of a cell diagram, writing the job of each part as they go. After the...

Students examine their cheek cells with a compound microscope. They identify different parts of the cell. They compare and contrast animal and plant cells with the microscope as well.

Students investigate different types and their parts. They differentiate prokaryote and eukaryote cells and create a venn diagram displaying differences or similarities. Students write ten similes related to the cells and parts of them.

Class pairs select a prompt from a provided list and tell (and record) their story to their partner. They then examine linguist William Labov's model for natural narratives, and apply his model to their tale. Next, class members watch...

Define terminology related to a circle. Practice accuracy in measuring and then create a spreadsheet based on data collected from solving for parts of a circle. Groups can have fun analyzing their data as it relates to Pi.

Students explore the parts of flowers and how they reproduce. They dissect flowers and observe the reproductive organs. Students observe anthers and ovaries of Tiger Lilies under a microscope. They investigate how insects and other...

Fifth graders examine how a red blood cell travels throughout the body. Using a model, they recreate the flow of blood through the heart. They also label the lungs and the differece between the blood that enters the heart and the blood...

Students understand how various cell parts function and how they are related to the genetic process by creating a model and symbol to depict the function of the cell parts. They research a cell part to determine function and then cut...
