Cell Structure and Function

	Jello Cells - Model of plant and animal Cells they won't forget ! Includes Teachers guide and student worksheet.
	Cells on Ceiling- Transform your classroom into a giant cell !
	Cell Mobiles - Students use pipe cleaners and cat gut to make a cell mobile.
	Model Cell - This model uses a ziploch bag and thick syrup to illustrate the cell. Have included it as it is quick and easy to do and contains brief notes on the cell organelles.
	Travel Brochure - An alternative to cell models to help students understand cell organelles and their functions.
	Cross Word - Fun way to review structure and function
	Cell Analogies Collage - Assignment that will really get them thinking.
	Bubble Membrane - A hands-on activity that simulates cell membrane structure and function.

Cellular Transport

	Surface Area - An assortment of demonstrations to indicate the importance of surface area, links on to homeostasis.
	S/A : Volume - Hands on lab that can be done in one period. A real classic.
	Surface Area Volume Ratio - A hands on activity which helps students get to grips with calculating this.
	Paper-Wad diffusion - A fun activity which uses paper-wads to demonstrate the connection between concentration, temperature, amount of motion due to the thermal energy, and the rate of diffusion.
	Garbage Bag Membrane - Activity which is a great way to explain the concept of a semi permeable membrane.
	Membrane Permeability - Lab investigating the permeabiliy of beetroot membranes.
	Jelly Bean Problem - Simulates the process of endocytosis

Enzymes

	Play Do Enzymes - Uses Play Do to model how enzymes work. This is a cooperative learning activity.
	Enzyme Reaction Rates - Students model the enzyme toothpickase and then draw a graph of the data they generate.
	Salivia Enzymes - This is a lesson from the 'Ask Eric' data base in which students use active enzymes in their saliva to demonstrate how enzymes work on common food molecules.
	Enzyme Experiments - One way of showing why pineapple and jelly do not mix.
	Enzyme Inquiry Lab - Good way for students to get to grips with enzmes.
	Enzyme Flip Books - Students produce a "movie" of enzyme action, can be used for other biological processes as well.
