Searching for simple ways to teach mitosis to high schoolers? Using colored chalk and onion root tips, pupils visually demonstrate what they view when looking through the lens of a microscope. There are also various ways to expand the...

What a packed lesson! Provide your class with the opportunity to learn about the cell cycle in several exciting ways. Biologists first learn about the theory behind mitosis, then proceed to view onion tips under the microscope and create...

It is hard to believe a 300-foot-tall Redwood tree began as a single cell hundreds of years ago. How did it grow so large? Observe how different kinds of cells (bacteria, sex cells, and eukaryotic cells) reproduce or make more cells...

Cell membranes contain many contradictions; for example, they are both oily and strong. The video explains the parts of a cell membrane, the function of each part, and discusses the contradictions. It highlights what happens when...

Explore the structure of cell membranes including cholesterol, glycolipids, glycoproteins, phospholipids, and proteins. The video shows and discusses the fluid mosaic model as well as how cell walls differ from cell membranes. 

Adult humans are made of around 40 trillion cells that can't be seen these without some really powerful microscopes! Learners tour both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, learning how their structures are similar and different, and...

Humans have taken communication to every corner of the Earth, yet our bodies, at the cellular level, have communicated without technology for millions of years. Learners view the variety of ways cells can communicate, whether right...

Quiz your learners on human reproductive cells using this terminology assessment tool! Choose 1 of 2 options: have students play online, or make copies of the paper version. The advantage to playing the online matching game is its...

You slough off all your skin cells once every seven years. Thank goodness for mitosis, or we would all be looking pretty strange without skin. The video begins by reviewing the cell cycle, looks at an overview of cells undergoing...

By exploring the latest research on cell and tissue renewal your young scientists can understand the various internal body parts and systems examined in these studies.
