FREE Cell Unit Study Resources Homeschool Grades 4-12

I’m so excited to share a vast collection of completely FREE resources to learn all about the cell and the cell cycle. These are suitable for upper elementary children all the way to high schoolers. I do filter out websites that are either too busy, too flashy or plain hard to navigate and find your way around. The site must be kid-friendly of course. All the links are listed here. My video offers a tour of all the resources, which might give you a feel for what you’re looking for. Of course, feel free to use as many or as few of these as you wish. There’s enough listed here to accommodate all sorts of preferences, I hope.
