The goal of this activity is to familiarize students with reading graphs, to think about how cells are different from one another and how parasites can take advantage of cell surface markers to gain access to a cell and escape immune detection. Then, learners view and reflect on an interview with scientist Dr. Angel Kongsomboonvech, who was involved in the research project.

Description

This lesson was designed to fit within a 50 minute class period with in-person delivery. The target audience is beginning biology learners. The materials include an instructor guide (1_LessonGuide_Let me in), and in-class presentation (Google slides: 2_PresentationSlides_Let me in), a summative assessment (3_SummativeAssessment_Let me in) and an link to the interview with Dr. Angel Kongsomboonvech (BioGraphI Interview with Angel Kongsomboonvech.

Content learning objectives

  • Describe the function of proteins expressed on the outside of a cell.
  • Explain how proteins can be used for cell recognition.
  • Predict how DNA sequence deletions can affect gene expression.
  • Propose a "next experiment" based upon provided data.

Quantitative learning objectives:

  • Interpret graphs and/or data figures related to concepts from this lesson.
  • Reflect on your perceptions about using graphs or figures in biology.

Diversity/equity/inclusion learning objectives:

  • Reflect on your perceptions of people who do biology.
  • Compare your own interests and/or identities to those of people who do biology.
