This resource contains six PowerPoints with numerous animations and videos along with student worksheets to accompany each PowerPoint. The videos are embedded in the PowerPoint and also available as separate mp3 files. These help students to explain:

• The use of microscopy to observe and investigate different types of cell and cell structure in a range of eukaryotic organisms
• The preparation and examination of microscope slides for use in light microscopy
• The use of staining in light microscopy
• The representation of cell structure as seen under the light microscope using drawings and annotated diagrams of whole cells or cells in sections of tissue
• The use and manipulation of the magnification formula
• The difference between magnification and resolution
• The ultrastructure of eukaryotic cells and the functions of the different cellular components
• Photomicrographs of cellular components in a range of eukaryotic cells
• The interrelationship between the organelles involved in the production and secretion of proteins
• The importance of the cytoskeleton
• The similarities and differences in the structure and ultrastructure of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

Everything you’ll need to teach a series of lessons (approximately 6 x 1 hour lessons) on cells

There is also an end of topic test with mark scheme and a cells crossword to help embed key words.
