This interactive resource is designed to enhance students' understanding of cellular transport. Students work at their desks to build the cell membrane. I include 1 carrier and 1 channel proteins, 10 phospholipids, and work through various passive transport (including osmosis) and active transport scenarios with the molecules included, which are 1 ATP, 10 each, O2, H2O, CO2, Na+, Cl-, Sugar molecules. There are passive transport scenarios, including osmosis and active transport scenarios. After

Help students visualize mRNA translation with this fun and easy, interactive manipulative. I made this for my students last year and they loved it! Getting them to feed the mRNA through the ribosome really helped them understand the process of translation. This activity works great by itself or can be bundled with my Transcription and DNA base pairing manipulative.

Get all of your students senses and creativity flowing as they learn DNA transcription by transcribing DNA into mRNA and visualizing the role of RNA Polymerases in the process. Brain research tells us that the more senses we can incorporate into the learning process the faster students will learn. Plus, my students really enjoy these interactive manipulatives as a means to learn a concept. I think it taps into a creative part of them that they don't get to use often in high school. And, it's so

Help students learn DNA complimentary base pairing, with this simple, yet fun and engaging DNA building manipulative. My students really enjoy tapping in to their creative sides, like they used to in elementary school when they got to color, cut and paste while learning. In this manipulative students practice their DNA complimentary base pairing skills. This exercise is straightforward and all my kids are able to find success doing it. This activity works great on it's own or in a bundle with

This Spot the Genotype game gets my students hands on and really helps them learn the different genotypes while having a fun time doing it. 15 years of experience has shown me genetics continues to be the most difficult topic in biology for most kids. I have found if they don't have a firm grasp on which genotype is depicted by which allele combination, they begin to do poorly on more complicated concepts that build on this. Therefore, I designed this game that helps them learn these terms, ge

I created a hybrid of the best of Understanding by Design and Differentiated Instruction to design a lesson plan that hit all the major points.

This is a great interactive flowchart showing the steps through cellular respiration. It includes spaces for ATP production and location of stages. A great group, class or individual interactive or assessment.

Step by step walkthrough and practice of how to complete a Dihybrid cross and connecting it to independent assortment of meiosis.
