3D Cell Cycle
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
Organelle modeling project including detailed information about the structure and function of that cell component.
Cell Cycle Regulation: Checkpoints
The purpose of cycle pausing signals in the cell cycle is addressed.
Cell Cycle Regulation: Growth Factors
Video illustrating how external growth factors direct the cell to initiate the cell cycle and move into cell division.
Cell Cycle Regulation: Mutations
The impact of variations in cell cycle signaling pathways are discussed. Oncogenes and tumor suppressor mutations are examined.
Modeling Controlled and Uncontrolled Cell Growth
Construct a population of cells using clay or play dough and use these to model typical and atypical populations of cells.
