Comparing Plant and Animal Cells

Learn about the features of plant and animal cells in this compare-and-contrast worksheet! Students will be presented with diagrams of a plant cell and an animal cell. Based on those diagrams, they will sort cell parts into a Venn diagram based on whether they are present in the plant cell, the animal cell, or both. 

This worksheet was designed for middle school students beginning to learn about cell biology. Learners can get a better sense of the ways that plant and animal cells can differ and the parts each needs to do their jobs. An understanding of cell biology can help students better understand their own bodies and the living organisms around them.
