Concepts
Instructional Ideas
- Group scientists in pairs while completing worksheet questions
- Assign a KWL chart after pupils complete the worksheet to assess understanding and clarify conceptual misconceptions
- Have investigators work collaboratively to design games about cellular respiration for use as review tools
Classroom Considerations
- Prior to beginning, class members must complete an activity referenced in teacher notes
- Request key by email available in teacher notes
Pros
- Introduces biologists to conceptual models as learning tools for complex scientific concepts
- Uses detailed images to break components into manageable parts
- Perfect for remote learning
Cons
- Lacks video or interactive animations to further clarify ideas and increase engagement
