This rather large (112 pages) .pdf is a unit on cells that also serves as a very good introduction to the microscope. It compares well to similar AIMS units.

The whole Cells Alive site looks pretty good, if you teach about cells. This section has interactive cell models that allow students to practice and review identifying organelles and other cell structures.

This Activity is currently (April 2011) running. It is run by the Smithsonian and MIT. It's part mystery, part science. I don't know what comes next, but so far there has been code cracking and data collection.

I like the way this system of note-taking guides the student to first sift their notes for important ideas, then to summarize. Both of those processing activities help learning.
