Students identify, locate and describe the function of the parts of a cell. In groups, they state the five stages of mitosis and put them in the correct order. They are introduced to the structure of DNA and mRNA and how they separate and combine into amino acids. To end the lesson, they discuss the process of amino acids turning into proteins.

Students work with whole plant material and are not required to measure small quantities, yet they can see evidence of transformed plant cells (plant cells that have genes from bacterial plasmids). This is a laboratory suitable for students who are familiar with the basic principles of plant cell structure, tissue culture, sterile technique, and cell transformation (bacterial infection, plasmid vectors, marker genes, selection medium, and enzyme activity assays).

Students identify that all living organisms are composed of cells whose details usually are visible only through a microscope. They also explain and apply cell theory and differentiate the characteristics that distinguish plant cells from animal cells. Finally, students describe the appearance and function of the major components of a cell. Full Review »

Students realize the importance of PV cells and career opportunities available. In this experiment, they use PV cells to power operate circuits that they construct in order to perform simple tasks. Before the experiment they research the history of who created PV cells, what PV cells are, and how they help us. Full Review »
