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.
