The Cell
This lesson is designed to help students visualize plant and animal cells,
understand the parts of a cell and their functions and distinguish plant cells
from animal cells.
Cells on Ceiling
Transform your classroom into a giant cell!
Cell Observation Exercise
This activity helps students to learn the difference between cell types,
determine cell sizes, and to correctly use a microscope to so.
Cell Project
When the project is complete students will know what a cell is and where cells are found. They will know
the function and role of each organelle, as well as the differences between plant and animal cells.
String Cells
This project involves the construction of a cell model, companion poster and a travel brochure. The cell
and companion poster must accurately represent the organelles of the cell for structure and function. The
brochure is designed to entice a sub-cellular visitor to visit their "cellular resort".
Travel Brochure for a Cell
This activity offers an alternative to cell models to help students understand cell organelles and their
functions.
Cell Discoveries
Students will 1) observe, compare and describe cell organelles in terms of their function, structure and
operation; 2) enter and edit information in a database; 3) build and sort a student-designed database; and
4) find records in a database.
