3D Cell Cycle
MODELING ACTIVITY
Student groups build and explain a phase of the cell cycle. Groups then combine models to demonstrate a complete representation of the entire cell cycle.
3D Model Project
MODELING ACTIVITY
Organelle modeling project including detailed information about the structure and function of that cell component.
Cell Cycle Regulation: Checkpoints
VIDEO
The purpose of cycle pausing signals in the cell cycle is addressed.
Cell Cycle Regulation: Growth Factors
VIDEO
Video illustrating how external growth factors direct the cell to initiate the cell cycle and move into cell division.
Cell Cycle Regulation: Mutations
VIDEO
The impact of variations in cell cycle signaling pathways are discussed. Oncogenes and tumor suppressor mutations are examined.
Cell Cycle Regulation: Processes
VIDEO
Cell cycle activation and checkpoints are illustrated.
Chromosock® Mitosis
MODELING ACTIVITY
Use ChromoSocks® to model the behavior of chromosomes during mitosis.
Modeling Controlled and Uncontrolled Cell Growth
MODELING ACTIVITY
Construct a population of cells using clay or play dough and use these to model typical and atypical populations of cells.
