If you’re looking for a meaningful way to connect your biology curriculum to real-world science careers, this Careers in Science: Cell Transport Activity is a perfect fit!

This no-prep cell transport worksheet introduces students to aquatic physiologist Dr. Patricia Wright and helps them explore how fish survive in changing aquatic environments. Students will connect biology concepts like osmosis, active transport, cell membranes, transport proteins, freshwater and saltwater environments, and osmoregulation to real scientific work.

I designed this as an easy go-to for early finishers, sub plans, homework, enrichment, or anytime you want to show students how what they’re learning in class connects to real scientists doing exciting work.

Want more biology career connections like this one? This activity is also included in my Biology Careers in Science Activities Bundle, which includes multiple no-prep worksheets connecting biology topics to real scientists and modern science careers.

 

This Careers in Science: Cell Transport Activity includes:

  • A student-friendly reading, 4–5 short paragraphs, about a real career in science
  • 5–6 thoughtful reflection and comprehension questions
  • A fun coloring activity of the scientist working in the field
  • PDF, Google Slides, and answer key

 

This activity fits perfectly when teaching cell transport, osmosis, active transport, cell membranes, transport proteins, or freshwater and saltwater adaptations. Students will see how fish use cellular transport to regulate water and salt balance, survive in different aquatic environments, and respond to environmental stressors like pollution and climate change.

Your students will see that cell transport is not just arrows moving across a membrane diagram. It is how real animals stay balanced, survive in changing environments, and depend on their cells to stay alive.
