Cells are the building blocks of all organisms. The properties, organelles, and characteristics of a cell determine its role within the organism. Understanding the relationship between the cell’s structure and its function is an important topic in any biology course.
Observing single-celled organisms is a great way to introduce cells in your lab. Although prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, they allow students to learn about basic cell morphology, reproduction, and evolution. Introduce eukaryotic cells to students with protists, popular microorganisms. Students can observe nuclei, organelles, and movement under the microscope!
Plant cell structure and function can be explored in a variety of ways. We have live materials, models, manipulatives, and microscope slides to help. Students observe what makes plant cells unique, such as the cell wall and chloroplasts, while learning the functional importance of each.

Models are powerful tools for teaching science as they provide useful simplifications of structures and processes, helping to make the unseen seen and the complex simple. Your students will enjoy learning about plant cells with this colorful model. It covers all the main parts of the plant cell, including the cell membrane, cell wall, chloroplasts, nucleus, chromosomes, and mitochondria. For more advanced learners, you can extend the model with the included optional organelles to study rough ER, smooth ER, and Golgi apparatus.

Introduce students to the concept of “form fits function” by familiarizing them with different kinds of cells, their organelles, and the specific jobs each organelle performs. Students work in pairs to build a model animal cell using common materials. Each cell component is identified to indicate which organelle it represents.

Students easily compare animal and plant cells, single-celled organisms, and specialized cells using this set of 10 slides and helpful poster. They can explore the cell membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus within a typical animal cell and look at the structure of typical plant cells, identifying the cell wall, chloroplasts, and vacuoles. Students can also observe examples of specialized cells, including blood, skin, and nerve cells. The laminated poster provides full-color, labeled images and descriptive insight into cellular structure.

Use this Lab Sheet to guide you through the activity.
In this lab, students observe Elodea leaves under magnification. They will see cell walls and chloroplasts. From the movement of chloroplasts they will infer that cyclosis, or protoplasmic streaming, is occurring. They also will observe that most chloroplasts are pressed tightly against the cell wall and should infer from this that much of the cell is occupied by a vacuole.

Students explore the cell as the basic unit of life. Using a guided-inquiry technique, they first view cells with a microscope (not included). They then study Euglena, Paramecium, and elodea samples and observe their responses to different environmental conditions. As a final assessment, students design their own experiment to test cellular responses to environmental changes of their choice.
