Lean, Mean Information Machine: Using a Simple Model to Learn about Chromosomal DNA
Source Institutions
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.

Cells and Walls
Source Institutions
Using toothpicks, straws, or tubes of rolled up newspaper, learners create 3-dimensional models to illustrate the basic structure and function of the cell membrane, and place an object inside to repre

Chromosome Shuffle
Source Institutions
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.

The Game of Life: Stem Cell Edition
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners play a game that models what happens as stem cells differentiate into different cell types.

Single-Cell Life
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a soil and water model of a single-cell life environment and study living microorganisms.

Bee Builders
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a model of a beehive using simple materials.

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

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

Observing Cells
Source Institutions
In this playful activity, learners explore the structure of the cell—the basic unit of every living organism—by creating a model of cell structures using soap bubbles, and by examining a slice of onio
