Apologia Biology: Cells

Cells are one of the early lessons.  Start by using The Biology Coloring Book to color detailed plant, prokaryotic, and animal cells. I buy copies of the coloring book used. Biology Corner has many coloring pages.  Here are an animal cell coloring sheet,  a plant cell sheet, and prokaryote coloring sheet.  My kids make Cell Models as homework.  I ban food models; the jello never completely sets.  Here is a play-doh model.  Be sure to have the kids make a key.  Otherwise, how will you know the kidney bean is a mitochondrion?  Here is a good comparison of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
