Cells for Kids
As we began studying the human body we learned about the most basic unit of life – cells! This cells for kids lesson is filled with lots of engaging activities and cells printables for kids from kindergartners to elementary age students in grade 1, grade 2, grade 3, grade 4, grade 5, and grade 6.
- We used the following free printable All About Cells reader book to learn about the parts of the cell and their function as well as review what we learned with a cell activity worksheet
- We created a cell model together (see clever memory devises to remember different parts)
- The kids created their own edible cell to reinforce what they had learned.
- We made edible licorice DNA as we touched on the fact that the nucleus of each living cell contains DNA – the instructions for what each cell should look like and do.
- We played this FREE Human Cells Review Game
