Learners observe a model of a cell and its chromosomal DNA made from a plastic egg and dental floss. Use this model to illustrate how much DNA is held in one cell.

Role-playing the parts of chromosomes and centrioles, learners use large chromosome models and nylon cords (spindle fibers and cell membranes) to walk through the processes of mitosis and meiosis.

In this activity, learners play a game that models what happens as stem cells differentiate into different cell types.

Learners use a simple process to extract DNA from strawberries.

In this kinesthetic activity, learners move pom-pom "ions" across a membrane to simulate how an action potential is propagated along an axon.

In this simulation of synapses, learners act out communication at the neural level by behaving as pre-synaptic vesicles, neurotransmitters, post-synaptic receptors, secondary messengers and re-uptake

In this activity, learners solidify their conceptualization of cells by building a model of a cell in a ziplock bag.

In this activity, learners construct a cereal chain as a model of how proteins are made in the cell.

In this activity, learners extract DNA from a strawberry and discover that DNA is in the food they eat.

Working in small groups, learners receive a written scenario regarding a bacterium with a certain goal it must carry out.
