    Project
    Students learn about the animal eukaryotic cell using an analogy. This project is to supplement your normal teaching about the cell. Great project for students to remember the organelles and structure of the cell. Topics include cell membrane, mitochondria, riosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, vacuoles, lysosomes, and the nucleus. Extension topics include, channel proteins, receptor proteins, peroxisomes, and the cytoskeleton.

    In this endocytosis modeling lab, students try to figure out how to put food molecules into a paper bag by only using their hands and string and without exposing the inside of the bag. This modeling lab is a challenging activity until one group gets why the string is needed to pinch off the side of the bag to make a vesicle around the food molecules. Topics covered include vesicles, endocytosis, and phagocytosis.
