Construction of the Cell Membrane. Membrane Channels - Membrane Channels, Membrane Potential, Cell Membrane. 5 Creative Ways to Teach the Cell. 1. 3 D Cell – this is a standard project for entry level biology classes, where students use various objects from around the house to design a three dimensional cell.

5 Creative Ways to Teach the Cell

Popular models are made of clay, cardboard, or styrofoam. Pros: Students seem to enjoy the project and you end up with a lot of amazing models. Cons: Can be expensive, difficult to store, or attract bugs if they are made of candy or other perishables, mostly done as individual projects. 2. Post- IT Cell – this model can be build in class using post it notes. 3. More Cells Created by Students. High School: Biology: Cells teaching resources. News - Science of the Olympic Winter Games - Injury and recovery: Lindsey Vonn. AIDS: Evolution of an Epidemic. Bruce Walker, MD and Bisola Ojikutu, MD, MPH are passionate about fighting the global AIDS epidemic.

AIDS: Evolution of an Epidemic

Walker focuses on vaccine development in the lab, while Ojikutu works in the clinic and focuses on epidemiology. Complementing their U.S. -based research, each spends several months a year in Durban in South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal province—a region at the epicenter of the AIDS epidemic in South Africa and the place with the highest incidence of HIV infection in the world. For Walker and Ojikutu, HIV research and community work go hand in hand. They are involved in myriad programs that deliver health care to infected individuals while also doing research to improve and develop treatments for AIDS.

Name:___________________________________________ In a far away city called Grant City, the main export and production product is the steel widget.

Cell City Analogy

Everyone in the town has something to do with steel widget making and the entire town is designed to build and export widgets. The town hall has the instructions for widget making, widgets come in all shapes and sizes and any citizen of Grant can get the instructions and begin making their own widgets. Widgets are generally produced in small shops around the city, these small shops can be built by the carpenter's union (whose headquarters are in town hall). After the widget is constructed, they are placed on special carts which can deliver the widget anywhere in the city. Match the parts of the city (underlined) with the parts of the cell. 1. ** Create your own analogy of the cell using a different model.
