Great "Cell" Resources!!!!

1. Mallery, C. (2009, April 1). //Cell theory//. Retrieved from http://www.bio.miami.edu/~cmallery/150/unity/cell.text.htm

This site, [|Cell Theory], offers a great explanation of the cell theory and the theorists who discovered it!! The site contains many links within the text to direct the reader to more detailed explanations of each topic.

2. Mazarallo, P. (1999). //A Unifying concept: the history of cell theory//. Retrieved from []

[|A Unifying Concept: The History of Cell Theory] gives a detailed description of how the cell theory came about and those responsible. It isn't a "fun" site, but it definitely informational!

3. ForgeFX, Initials. (2009). //3d plant and animal cells educational simulation//. Retrieved from http://www.forgefx.com/casestudies/prenticehall/ph/cells/cells.htm

[|3D Education Simulation] is an interactive site that explains the parts and the functions of the plant and animal cells. This is a good way to engage the viewer!

4. Singer, S. (2007, June 6). //Transport in and out of cells//. Retrieved from http://biology.kenyon.edu/HHMI/Biol113/passive_vs_active.htm

[|Transport In and Out of Cells] shows different examples of how active and passive transport work. This site gives great examples of different daily life activities that involve both forms of transport. 5. BrainPOP, Initials. (2009). //Cellular genetics//. Retrieved from http://www.brainpop.com/science/cellularlifeandgenetics/

[|Cellular Life and Genetics] is an interactive website that has many different topics on cell structure and processes. This has fun-to-watch video clips that easily explain these topics.

6. Teachnology, Initials. (n.d.). //Cells cryptogram worksheet//. Retrieved from http://www.teach-nology.com/worksheets/science/cell/cry/

The [|Cells Cryptogram Worksheet] is a worksheet that can help students think more about the digestive structures of the cell. It is a unscrambling worksheet.

7. Biology4Kids, Initials. (2009). //Passive transport: taking the easy road//. Retrieved from http://www.biology4kids.com/files/cell2_passivetran.html

[|Passive Transport: Taking the Easy Road] shows how passive transport does not require energy compared to active transport. This is a more simple site, but it does contain useful information!

8. Miller, P. (2009, January 19). //Hands-on cell structure project//. Retrieved from http://homeschool-curricula.suite101.com/article.cfm/handson_cell_structure_project

The [|Hands-On Cell Structure Project] is a great way to have the students work hands on to remember the structures of the cell!!
