In this labeling a cross-section of a Bacterium cell worksheet, students use the glossary of Bacterium cell terms to help identify and label each cell part. Students label nine parts of the Bacterium cell.

Students examine the concept of DNA. They work together to extract DNA cells from their classmate's cheek. They answer questions related to what to do with their DNA now that they have it.

Learners explain the concepts of what DNA is and where it is located in a cell, identify the two types of molecules that make up the rungs of a DNA molecule and identify the two types of Purine and Pyrimidine molecules

In this science worksheet, young scholars study 12 vocabulary words which pertain to marine invertebrates. Students read the definitions which include pronunciation, part of speech and meaning of the name. Young scholars then look at 16...

In this classification of life worksheet, students use an on line source to answer questions about how species are classified, named and grouped. They give the classification of a bear, an orchid and a sea cucumber.

Middle schoolers identify the major components of the cell and their functions. They compare and contrast the major components and functions of animal and plant cells

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.

Learners observe the cells of an onion by wet mounting it and viewing it in a microscope.  In this hands on lesson students make their own wet mount slide of an onion and are able to identify the cells in it such as, the nucleus,...

Students create analogies that help them remember the cell parts as well as their respective functions.

Seventh graders explore the function of a cell and cell division.  In this investigative lesson students construct a 3-D model of a DNA molecule.

In this cells worksheet, 9th graders identify and use a microscope to look at cells. They explain the purpose for a microscope and how to find the total magnifying power of a microscope. Students also determine what would cause an image...

Students differentiate the characteristics of living and nonliving things. In this life science lesson, students compare and contrast robots and living things. Given an object, they decide whether it's is living or not and defend...

Learners discover the processes that occur during mitosis and what makes each phase different and distinct from the others as well as how each contribute to the overall process of mitosis by looking at onion root tips under a microscope.

Students use a light microscope to observe the organisms living in a sample of ocean or fresh water. Students create a drawing of the organisms that they observe. Students then discuss the different body plans of the organisms and the...

Garbage, recycle, compost: Does it really matter where we put our trash once we are done? By making detailed observations over seven weeks, kids will see which materials break down naturally to become a healthy part of the soil, and...

A somewhat amusing assignment, this instructional activity lists statements that an ancient organism may have made and asks learners to determine what geologic era that each may have lived in. It uses witty word puzzles and...

Students examine and research the parts of a cell, their functions, and life processes. They simulate how cells receive nutrients using coffee filters, water, and coffee, and construct cells using pudding, cookie dough, and candy.

Students examine the cell cycle and how its duration can vary.  In this cells lesson students complete a worksheet and answer questions. 

Fourth graders, in groups, explore cells, the basic unit of all living things.

Young scholars examine cell structure, cell division, and the basic structure of DNA. They read and discuss a case study of DNA research, answer discussion questions, role-play the process of mitosis, and complete a DNA Fact or Fiction...

Students discuss the importance of reproduction of cells. They identify and describe the stages of Mitosis. They discover what happens to chromosomes and DNA during reproduction.

In this cell cycle worksheet, students fill in the blank with information about the cycle of a cell. Students sketch several drawings of different phases in the cell cycle.

For this cells worksheet, 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 are 20...

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. ...
