Learners draw cells, make a cell, and list organelles in plant and animal cells. In this cells lesson plan, students create edible cells.

Fifth graders research plant and animals cells and create a Venn Diagram to show the similarities and differences.

Are all academicians allured with alliteration? Use this cross-curricular online resource to simultaneously expose your scholars to parts of speech and the genetic mutation causing albinism. Initial context gives students an introduction...

Wow! Here is a coherent and cleverly designed tool for teaching physical scientists about electric circuits. Animations help learners to visualize what is happening within the parts of a circuit. Components are displayed to teach them...

Young scholars 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...

Second graders study and examine the structure of a flower.  In this pollination instructional activity, 2nd graders observe pollinators in the garden and dissect a flower. Students then plant strawberry plants in the garden and...

How do reverse transcriptase inhibitors work? Young virologists examine the function of azidothymidine, a drug doctors use to treat HIV patients, during a hands-on modeling activity. Groups create a strand of DNA from an HIV RNA strand...

Students compare and contrast plant and animal cells and then create a model of the latter. They visit Websites to view the cells and answer questions about them. In pairs, students create cell models using plastic baggies, syrup,...

Students identify the main ideas of different cell theories. Using a microscope, they compare and contrast the structures and functions of prokaryotes and eukaryotes. They also compare and contrast animal and plant cells and complete...

In this body plans and adaptations worksheet, students will review the different types of symmetry found in organisms. Students will identify body parts as found on either the ventral or dorsal part of an animal. Then students will look...

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

Cyanide, a coordination compound, is used in the extraction of gold and silver. Part 24 in the series of 36 delves into the world of coordination compounds. Classes learn, through readings, discussions, and answering questions, how to...

For this animal classification worksheet, students will review the characteristics used in classifying animals including the development of animals. Students will compare the endoderm, ectoderm, and mesoderm. This worksheet has 4 short...

Students explore biology by identifying a diagram. In 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. Students define a list of...

All that this will link you to is a rap about cell theory and organelles. Use it as an example for a creative assignment in your biology class. Divide the class into groups and assign them a topic for which they write and perform a skit,...

Students study the parts of a cell.  In this chemistry lesson students complete an activity in which they make as much slime as they want. 

In this flatworms instructional activity, students identify and color the different parts of a flatworm. They complete 14 short answer questions related to the topic.

Fifth graders, in groups, create a plant or animal cell out of cookies, frosting, and candy pieces.

Fifth graders study the structures of a plant cell and animal cell. They create a graphic organizer and a food model. Finally, they write an essay comparing and contrasting plant and animal cells.

Students study the stages of development of an unknown organism. For this zebrafish lesson, students examine and collect data as they use microscopes to view a zebrafish embryo.

Students create a model of a cell using everyday household items. They view digital microscope images of cells and cell parts, watch an online video, create a cell model out of household images, and record their presentation using a...

In this environment worksheet students complete a series of multiple choice questions and short answers on plant and animal species and populations in an ecosystem. 

Students make a mold using Plaster of Paris and then make a cast using that same mold. They pick a fossil and describe how it looks. They write a fictionalized story about its life, or burial. (
