Purpose: To use
creativity in creating a cell membrane model.
To demonstrate the ability to interpret written information and transfer
that
information into visual models.
To allow visual learners to create their own learning experience.
To be able to individually manipulate information.
Materials Needed:
construction paper (18"x11")
colored paper in yellow, blue, purple, green and red
scissors
glue
textbook (p.56)
Directions: Cut out
the following structures based on the shapes indicated in the textbook
(Biology
Principles and Explorations) diagram on p.56:
Phospholipid molecules - yellow paper
Channel proteins - blue paper
Receptor proteins - purple paper
Marker protein - green paper
Carbohydrate chain - red paper
Arrange the prepared molecules, in a fashion similar to the diagram in
the book, on the
18"x11" paper. The arrangement of cell surface proteins may vary from the
pattern in the
book - however you must have at least two of each type of protein. The
title must be at
the top of the diagram in bold print and underlined. There should
also be a color coded key
in the upper left hand corner of the diagram.
Please sign your name on the back of the 18"x11" construction paper.
SOLAR SYSTEM PROJECT DIRECTIONS:
Click here to see actual student projects
Directions: Each group
of 2 to 4 students will be assigned one planet in our solar system which
will include any moons or other satellites of that planet as well. All
members of each
group will be expected to contribute equal amounts of time and effort.
One student from
each group will be assigned as group leader. It will be this student's
responsibility to
divide the workload evenly between each member of the team and to coordinate
the
group effort - at the end of this project the group leader will evaluate
each member of
the team. Work to be done on each planets will include but not be limited
to - the physical
make-up of the planet, the atmosphere surrounding the planet, rotation
and revolution times,
satellites, a 3-D model of the planet and its satellites. All information
will be presented
orally by the individual responsible for that particular area.
GEOLOGY MURAL PROJECT:
PURPOSE: To visually illustrate the major topics of plate tectonics, earthquakes and volcanoes.
MATERIALS: Poster board or Mural Paper
Magazines
Colored Pencils
Earth Science Text
Access to computers and internet
Scissors
Glue
Construction Paper
PROCEDURE: Divide Class into three groups.
Assign a group leader to each of the groups for the purpose of assigning
tasks to
individuals and coordinating project.
Various members of the group must be assigned the following tasks:
-Internet research of topic
-Research scientists who have made discoveries and contributions to the
present
information on each subject
-Draw pictures of the major concepts
-Include maps or other related diagrams
-Include a brief written explanation to go with each drawing or picture
-Research books available in school resource centers for each topic
Title of the topic should be at the top of the poster in bold letters and
the names
of each member of the group should be listed on the back of the poster.
