Bring biology to life with the Cellular Discovery Quest, an engaging vocabulary-building resource designed for upper elementary and middle school science students. Whether you are teaching plant or animal cell structures, this word search offers a fun, interactive way for students to master complex terminology.
Teachers can choose between two flexible formats:
Here is a website that has a sliding animation to demonstrate the size of cells and compares them to many other objects, including viruses, parts of cells, and bacteria. This would be a great visual for your students when introducing the cell.
This resource would be a great introduction to your unit on cells. It is an animation of many different types of cells and some of their functions. There are also a few great trivia questions worth discussing with your class.
The "Active and Passive Transport Cellular Methods Video" provides an in-depth explanation of the various cellular methods used for transportation, such as passive and active transports. The video highlights Jens Christian Skou, a renowned biologist, and discusses key terms related to cell membranes, diffusion, osmosis, and solutions.
Here is an excellent video about how scientists map the human genome. Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine, Tissues, Organs, Organism, DNA, and genes, are keywords that are used in the video.
This video visually describes how cells use active and passive transport to get molecules into an individual cell. Osmosis, Dialysis, Facilitated Diffusion, Membrane, ATP, Protein Carrier, Iodine, Endocytosis, Phagocytosis, Pinocytosis, Lysosome, Exocytosis are key terms that are used in this video.
