    Worksheet
    In this cell membrane worksheet, students learn about the phospholipid structure and how it influences the structure of the lipid bilayer. Also included is osmosis and how the phospholipid bilayer is semi-permeable to water which allows for the transport water from high concentration to low concentration.

    Cell Membrane Lab: Vitamin E and Aging of Cells
    Free Lesson Plan
     
    Lab
    In this cell membrane lab, students learn how Vitamin E inhibits the oxidation of phospholipid and glycolipid molecules in cell membranes. Students then take this concept further with predicting ways to save humans from several life threatening problems revolved around the cell membrane and the immune system.

    Lab
    What is osmosis? In this diffusion lab, students make predictions about the effects of osmosis to try to answer this driving question. The experiment focuses on students designing experiments to test these predictions. Students should have prior knowledge of diffusion.

    Lab
    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.
