Instructional Ideas

  • Look for the banana DNA extraction lab referenced in the beginning of the video and use in class if it fits in your unit
  • Follow up the video with activities about the structure and processes of the cell membrane
  • Have learners create 3-D models of cell membranes and/or cell walls

Classroom Considerations

  • Must have a computer, projection system, and Internet access
  • Part eight in a series of 37

Pros

  • Video is a simple introduction to the structure of cell membranes and cell walls
  • Great visuals show learners the structures of cell membranes and cell walls
  • Includes two cell membrane review worksheets

Cons

  • None
