Cell Labeling: Simple and Complex
Students practice labeling organelles on a simple model (2D) and a more complex model. The idea is for students to gain an appreciation for how cell diagrams are created. They don’t all look alike, and are often artistically created. Cell organelles tend to follow basic design rules, like the mitochondria will generally look like a…

Cell Cycle Label
This worksheet was created for freshman level biology and is a simpler version of a worksheet I use in the advanced classes showing the cell cycle. The image shows a cell in interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Students label each phase and then identify structures within the cell that are important for cell division,…

Lab: How Do Enzymes Work
Explore how enzymes work with this engaging lab. I redesigned this lab with freshman students in mind. The directions are simple. Students drop hydrogen peroxide onto raw liver, and observe the bubbling. The bubbles are oxygen as it is being released in the reaction. The lab handout includes a background section that explains how enzymes…

Stem Cell Therapy for Type 1 Diabetes
Teaching stem cells and medical applications can be tough, and students often struggle to connect it to the real world. That’s why I created this worksheet about a new treatment for Type 1 diabetes. Zimislecel, a cell therapy that uses lab-grown islet cells to restore insulin production. This stem cell therapy could reduce the need…

Cell Signaling – Comprehensive Unit Plan
Cell signaling is the process by which cells communicate with each other and respond to external stimuli, ensuring the coordination of vital biological functions. This system involves a signal binding to a receptor on a target cell, and triggering a series of intracellular events. These signaling pathways often include second messengers, protein kinases, and phosphorylation…
