For many kinesthetic and visual learners, lecture is not always best. I teach a diverse set of students who thrive using hands-on activities and visual demonstrations of our life science content to help them master our curriculum. Building a model can help students uncover important scientific facts for themselves.
I want to give my students the opportunity to build a cell membrane to increase the depth of their understanding of phospholipids, cell membranes, and transport proteins.
Students will construct a lipid bilayer and better understand the role of proteins in moving ions and small molecules across membranes. Having a good grasp of cells will provide the foundation for students to understand a variety of other biology topics that build off of this throughout the year.
