2/7 & 2/8

Today, we set goals for the new semester as our warm-up. Following this, we worked with the cell membrane model kits to learn about passive and active transport through the cell membrane. Students  made predictions with the model pieces about how molecules would move through the cell, then wrote notes about how oxygen, glucose & water perform passive transport. We then learned about how nerve cells use active transport to pump sodium and potassium molecules to let our nerve cells send signals to the rest of our body. Next class, students will learn details about the CM Video Project.
