PhysioEx: Frog Cardiovascular Physiology
In this science worksheet, students are guided through a computer simulation of a frog dissection in which the heart is kept beating. Students test each of seven solutions by introducing it into the simulated heart. Students collect...
Curated OER
Structural Changes in a Protein
Students observe and manipulate the structure of a protein. They form an alpha helix, a beta sheet, and add disulfide bonds. They create a multimeric protein and compare their location with other students.
Curated OER
Generation of Action Potentials in Nitella Giant Algal Cells
Students observe cytoplasmic streaming in Nitella cells. They examine the conduction of a wave of depolarization across other membranes, such as the axons of neurons. Students predict the effects of sending a small electric current...

Effects of ATP and Ions on Rabbit Psoas Muscle
Students prepare single strands of muscle cell. They microscopically examine muscle cells and identify bands of darker and lighter proteins. They predict, observe, describe and quantify the effects of ions and ATP.
