Students work in teams to order events of DNA transcription and translation protein synthesis. In the second lesson, they put the steps of mitosis and meiosis in order using a concept map poster. They use modeling clay to create models of cells undergoing these changes. In the third lesson, students create Punnett squares, and participate in an interactive lecture on genes, alleles, traite and geno/pheno types. Full Review »

Students investigate specialized structures in both plants and animals. They relate structure to function, as they determine why the specialization is necessary and useful to the living organisms involved. They use microscopes to look at cells and they investigate the differences between different types of cells. Full Review »

Students are put in groups of 6 to 8, and they are given 20-30 minutes to write, design, direct, and block out (determine location and movement) a skit that illustrates the function of a sarcomere, and all the steps involved in its contraction and relaxation. Each students must have a speaking part, with no one person dominating the performance. Full Review »

Students construct a model of the cell membrane. The model includes a minimum of one functional part modeling the membrane transport process. Students model semi permeability by using water, iodine, a plastic sandwich bag, and liquid starch. Students discuss the results of the experiments. Full Review »
