If you're finishing up a unit on cells, here's a great project to get kids collaborating and recalling what they've learned in a fun and tangible way. Small groups create plant or animal cells out of materials they have at home. They use...

Students work as a team to use the ProScope Digital USB Microscope and a computer to collect microscopic images from a variety of organisms. When they compare these specimens, they are able to determine how they are alike and different...

In this biology worksheet, students read about the parts of plant seeds and look at a seed diagram. They read about the roots, endosperm, embryo, and the process of germination. They answer 8 online multiple choice questions based on the...

Learn about plants and pollination with a worksheet about the parts of a flower. After labeling the anatomy of a flower using a word bank, kids explain the difference between self-pollination and cross-pollination, and unscramble...

In this plant cell worksheet, students sharpen their science skills as they color the parts of a plant cell according to the instructions and then respond to 4 analysis questions.

In this plant cell learning exercise, students color a diagram of a plant cell, identify its parts and answer four analysis questions.

Introduce botany or biology beginners to nutrient transport in plants by assigning this instructional activity. Learners describe turgor pressure and its role in hydroregulation. They explain the functions of xylem, phloem, stomata, and...

Learners review and compare plant and animal cells, and then build a model of an animal cell.

Students create two different cells, one plant and one animal.  For this plant and animal cell lesson students form groups and construct a part of a cell. Students then put them all together to form one plant or animal cell. 

Students diagram a plant. In this Science lesson plan, students explore the concept of photosynthesis focusing on the oxygen production. Students calculate the amount of plants needed to filter the air in their classroom.

High schoolers 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 study plant and animal cell components.  In this cell lesson students identify parts of a cell, view a PowerPoint presentation and diagram a cell. 

Liken a cell and its organelles to a tiny person and its organs. After gathering information on cell structures and their functions, small groups collaborate to come up with an analogy of their own. They produce a collage describing the...

In this plants worksheet, students review 17 vocabulary words associated with the different types of plant cells and tissues. This worksheet has 17 matching questions.

Lead your young scientists into an exciting world as they participate in a role play and experiment focused on proteins and DNA. After researching the Central Dogma of Biology, individuals or groups participate in a classroom...

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.

Beginning botanists can sketch the parts of a plant in individual boxes, or better yet, they can tape or glue actual plant parts in them. Beside each box are a few sentences with selected words left out. From the word bank at the bottom...

Seventh graders name the parts of the cell. Students demonstrate knowledge of the parts of a cell in reference to cell functions. They apply their knowledge of the cell and the cell parts to a real world situation.

Middle schoolers use the internet to research information about cells in order to create a 3-D model of a cell. They may choose either to research a plant or animal cell. Students locate and identify the parts of a cell and build a 3-D...

Students create model cells using gelatin, toothpicks, and various fruits to represent organelles. Then, students observe their models and complete a Venn Diagram comparing and contrasting plant and animal cells.

Introduce students to cells, and their many parts in this biology presentation. Students see that plant and animal cells have many of the same type of structures, but also have many differences as well. They will be challenged to state...

Beginning biologists demonstrate their grasp on cellular respiration, photosynthesis, and energy flow though ecosystems when completing this worksheet. Fifteen multiple choice and short answer questions test their knowledge. Because of...

Some weddings have flowers in a unique, unnatural color to match the theme. Young scientists take part in this process to learn about the function of the xylem as they observe colored water moving through a flower. Then, they experiment...

Take your class' understanding of cells to the next level... or levels! Demonstrate the levels of organization using a variety of engaging methods. The teacher's guide includes the materials you'll need to execute a flower...
