Type: Educational Game

Students will be able to identify the main parts of a cell and to describe the basic function of each part. The students will match parts of a cell to parts of a city that have functions that are analogous to each cell part. They will then develop their own analogy and present it to the class. Finally, they will practice their knowledge using a computer-based review game.

Type: Lesson Plan

This is an interactive activity for the students to learn about the different types of cells and which cell parts exist in them. It will develop the students' ability to identify similarities and differences between the various types of cells by engaging all three learning styles: visual, auditory, and tactile.

Type: Lesson Plan

This lesson allows students to create a science center display showing their knowledge of the general structures of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and the structures and functions for the components of plant and animal cells. At the end of this lesson, students will be assessed by participating in a gallery walk that displays their design for a local science center.

This lesson is a STEM project-based learning opportunity.

Type: Lesson Plan

This lesson will cover the cell structures of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

Type: Lesson Plan

This lesson will help students to understand the structural differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Students will independently read to gain background knowledge of the two types of cells. The class will be divided into groups to complete a poster that compares and contrasts prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

Type: Lesson Plan

In this lesson the students will provide detailed explanations of cell structures and their functions, produce an artifact that highlights how prokaryote and eukaryote cells differ, how plant and animal cells differ, and how structure relates to function. Students will also design and conduct a lab exploring cells and/or their structures.

Type: Lesson Plan

This activity incorporates the use of microscopes to show actual cells that are examples of both eukaryotes and prokaryotes.

Type: Lesson Plan

This lesson will develop students' ability to identify similarities and differences between animal and plant cells as well as prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

Type: Lesson Plan

These activities were designed to help students recognize which organelles belong in plant and animal cells, as well as to differentiate between real-life examples of plant, animal, and prokaryotic cells.

Type: Lesson Plan

Learn how to classify cells as prokaryotic or eukaryotic and distinguish eukaryotic cells as plant or animal with this interactive tutorial.

This Khan Academy tutorial describes the differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. It then goes on to discuss in detail the structures and their functions found in the eukaryotic cell.

Type: Tutorial

This video from the Khan Academy introduces the symbiotic relationship between the many bacteria that live inside the human body. The basics of bacteria structure, reproduction, and bacterial infections are discussed.

Type: Tutorial

This a mostly text resource that provides accurate, straight-forward descriptions of prokaryotes, eukaryotes, and viruses. It could be a great tool to help students compare and contrast organisms with each other and viruses, or a good review passage.

Type: Tutorial

Paul Anderson takes you on a tour of the cell. He starts by explaining the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. He also explains why cells are small but not infinitely small. He also explains how the organelles work together in a similar fashion.

Type: Video/Audio/Animation

Living cells are divided into two types - procaryotic and eucaryotic. This division is based on internal complexity. This website provides interactive graphic roadmaps to the organization of both of these cell types. It also shows distinctions between plant and animal cells.
