What others say
Description
This complete lesson bundle includes everything you need to teach your biology students the cell membrane and cellular transport, including an engaging PowerPoint, guided notes that double as graphic organizers, two aligned activities, and a Review & Reflect study guide. Students will explore the fluid mosaic model, learn the structure and function of each membrane component (phospholipids, cholesterol, proteins, and sugar tags), and compare the major types of passive transport (simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion) and active transport (protein pumps and bulk transport). The lesson is designed to make complex concepts easy to follow and remember, while keeping students actively involved from start to finish. Please note that this PowerPoint only briefly mentions osmosis, as it is taught in its own dedicated lesson the following class.
What You Will Receive:
- 1. The PowerPoint. Please watch the video above to see the entire presentation. For best results, present this slideshow using Microsoft 365 PowerPoint on your computer. Please note, the textboxes in this PowerPoint are editable, but the background images are not (due to copyright). You are welcome to add your own slides if you would like to add information or go into more detail.
- 2. A recorded version of the PowerPoint - both an MP4 file and an unlisted YouTube link.
- 3. A Student Version of the PowerPoint. In PPT and PDF forms with a watermark across each slide. This is the version you must post/share for students (please see Terms of Use below).
- 4. Guided notes. These include versions with and without blanks. 1 page, front and back.
- 5. Review and Reflect. Includes a snapshot of the essential outcomes, a short review, and a self-assessment. 1 page, front and back.
- 6. Cell Defense - The Plasma Membrane Virtual Activity. Bioman Bio has created some fantastic virtual labs for us biology teachers—huge thanks to Brett Baughman! This worksheet serves as a guide to help students engage with the material more deeply while holding them accountable for their learning. All they'll need are their computers and a printed copy of the worksheet (double-sided), making it an ideal activity for substitute days!
- 7. Insane in the Membrane Game Activity. Boost buy-in and engagement by having students build their own cell membrane game board and then use it to play a high-stakes transport strategy game! The mission is simple: be the first to actively pump all the toxin molecules out of your cell to survive and win! While playing, students sabotage their opponents by forcing toxins to passively diffuse into their cells, while using ATP tokens to actively pump toxins out of their own.
