4. Cellular and Molecular Biology
Graphing bacterial growth rates: semi-log graphs v linear graphs
Version: 1.0
In this activity, students will explore the concept of binary fission, generation time, and bacterial growth curves, with an emphasis on the log phase. Students will use semi-log graphs and linear graphs to plot bacterial cell growth.
Sizes, Scales, and Specialization: An activity highlighting the diversity in cell types
Version: 1.0
This module explores how cell size and shape varies across cell types in the human body by having students calculate relative proportions of numbers in scientific notation.
Why Cells Change Weight: Demonstrating Linear Regression Through an Osmosis Experiment
Version: 1.0
In this activity, students will perform an experiment utilizing dialysis tubing to create cellular models to demonstrate the linear relationship between cell weight and time in varying tonicities. Videos and data sets (of faculty results) are provided for
The Perfect Brew: An Activity Demonstrating Cell Counting and Hemocytometer Use
Version: 1.0
In this activity, students will explore the use of a hemocytometer for counting cells, demonstrate the relationship between the grid seen in the microscope with volume of liquid in suspension and count cells to determine concentration.
Why are Cells Small? Surface Area to Volume Ratio
Version: 1.0
This module explores surface area to volume ratios in a cube and sphere in relation to cell size.
