Students identify that yeast are a single celled fungi that are a great model organism for studying respiration in the classroom. They also fill the bulb of a disposable pipet (eyedropper) with yeast, then submerge the pipet in a test tube of water. Students then measure the rate of respiration by counting the number of bubbles of carbon dioxide gas that emerge from the tip of the pipet in a certain length of time. Full Review »

Students create a "Cell Theory Rap" in groups. They are given a Cell Theory Rap handout Notes. Students are asked:The process in which plants use energy from sunlight to convert water to carbon dioxide into carbohydrates is called what? They discuss the different types of organelles and the fucntions of the those organelles in plants. Full Review »
