Cell division and Cancer
Review of site and completing a quiz.
Exercise on C3, C4 and CAM plants
4 questions on C3, C4 and CAM plants
Start Page: Entryway to the Internet
This WebQuest will introduce teachers to start page technology. A start page can be used as a launching point when accessing the web. Important links and the latest news from professional educator sites can be a click away each time you open your web browser. A start page can be shared with student
Medicine Games: Control of the Cell Cycle
Play a game and find out about a Nobel Prize awarded discovery or work! In this game you are to take on the job as a Cell Division Supervisor. Are you familiar with the different phases in the cell cycle? If not, maybe you should pay extra attention to the image of the cell cycle in the introduction.
Biology Students and the Giant Plant Cell
An activity that involves students in creating organelles to scale for a giant plant cell that measures approximately 3m on each side. Advantages to this class activity include active learning on the part of the student, research experience, student collaboration, and a greater understanding of the actual size of organelles relative to a cell.
The Biology Project: Cell Biology
Tutorials and interactive quizzes covering cells, mitosis, meiosis, the cell cycle, prokaryotes, eukaryotes, & viruses. Part of The Biology Project.
Construction of the Cell Membrane
"The student will study the structure of the cell membrane by constructing it using the correct molecules." Learning object relevant to health sciences students studying nutrition, biochemistry and pharmacology.
Jing Project: Visual conversations start here
Free tool that allows Mac and PC users to capture and share screen shots and animated videos with other users. Instructors can use this tool to show students how to use software. Students can use it to help other students or show their instructors how they are trying to complete a computer task.
Natural Inquirer Journals: Wilderness Benefits
In the Wilderness Benefits Edition of the Natural Inquirer you will be introduced to different wilderness areas across the United States. You will also learn about some of the unique benefits these areas provide.
Connecting Concepts: Plant Biology/Water Relations 2: Water Flow Through Whole Plants
Students follow movement of water through a plant from the soil to the atmosphere. They calculate water potential at each of 5 locations in the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum. Students will: 1) predict the value and direction of the solute potential and pressure potiential in different parts of a plant, given information about physical conditions; and 2) calculate the water potential for soil, root cell, xylem, mesophyll cell, leaf air space, and atmosphere.
Virtual Cell Animations
The Virtual Cell site contains 20 different animations of cellular and molecular processes aimed at the introductory biology student. Each animation has a flash movie version or a step-by-step walk-through with a voice over explanation. A transcript of the voice over is available. There is a link to a set of Youtube versions of these videos.
Cell-ebration
This site has been created to show students how cells work. It reviews the functions of the cell organelles. This web site focuses on the structure and function of the cell membrane. Students will learn how the organelles interact with each other to keep the cell alive. This web site adds to the knowledge of most middle school students about organelles and expands to how the cell works as a whole. Scientists who study this area are known as cell physiologists. Physiology is the study of the func
Plants in Motion
TIme lapse movies of plant growth from germination to flowering, including tropic responses, nastic movement and circadian rhythms.
Blood Cell Basics
Students will make a proportional model of blood out of red gelatin, a plastic bag, and rice. They will learn about the different components that make up blood and will investigate what happens when the arteries and veins experience buildup from cholesterol. They will then work in pairs to brainstorm ways to clean our clogged arteries.
Nuclear Arms Reduction: A Discussion on the new START treaty
Georgetown University?s Center for Peace and Security Studies hosts a discussion between assistant secretary of state for verification, compliance and implementation, Rose Gottemoeller and Ambassador Richard Burt, the U.S. chair of Global Zero. The two discuss the New START Treaty and President Obama's vision for decreasing the threat of nuclear arms to the world in the 21st century.
Orchestrating cell separation in plants: What are the risks and benefits?
In this podcast, Professor Roberts from the School of Biosciences discusses his research into the mechanism responsible for regulating cell separation in plants. In particular how plants ‘shed’ parts of themselves such as leaves or fruit. Professor Roberts explores the potential application of his research, through prevention or encouraging of the ‘shedding’ proces
