About Cell Biology

Cell biology is a branch of biology that focuses on studying the role and structure of cells, which are often considered the fundamental unit of life. Cell biology can be divided into many sub-topics, including the study of cell metabolism, cell communication, cell cycles, biochemistry, cell composition, and more. By studying cell biology, we’ve learned more about how cells function and how they relate to larger organisms. By knowing what cells are made of, we can better understand almost everything around us.

While there are many-celled organisms, like people, there are also single-cell organisms that play just as important of a role in life. Cell biology covers everything from the most general properties and functions of all cells to the very unique capabilities of particular, specialized cells. Within cell biology, we can study everything from abstract topics, like energy, to very tangible/real-world topics, like natural reactions.

Cell Biology in the Classroom

Cells and cell biology can be a hard thing to study, especially with the naked eye in a classroom setting. Often, studying actual cells involves the use of microscopes and other tools, which can be expensive and aren’t always available to all educators. Thankfully, Science Take-Out makes it easy for students to engage in hands-on, minds-on learning with cell biology kits and lab experiments. Through the use of modeling and simulations, students are able to create representations of real-life phenomena to develop their own conclusions. From simulating bacteria functions, growth, and spread to learning about cancers and genetics, Science Take-Out allows students to apply scientific principles – and have fun doing it! Science Take-Out’s cell biology lab experiments are the easiest way to introduce students to new topics in a way that is safe, fun, and effective.

Almost all Science Take-Out kits correlate closely with various Next Generation Science Standards, allowing educators to be sure that they are delivering on science and engineering practices, disciplinary core ideas, and cross cutting concepts. With Science Take-Out cell biology lab experiments and kits, students are sure to learn about developing and using models, improve their information processing skills, and study cause and effect relationships.
