 * =This is an excellent website which has numerous articles to help understand topics in cell biology.=

= Topic: Cell Membrane =


 * == Check your class notes and quiz against the powerpoint presentation. ==




 * ==Water Potential Lab / Questions==


 * ==Plasmolysis of Elodea==


 * ==Complete this activity to help in understanding surface area/volume relationship==



= Topic: Cell Organelles =


 * ==Watch this video and take notes on it. This should fill in any gaps left after cell organelle presentations.==

 * ==Here is the powerpoint presentation on cell organelles.==



= Topic: Mitosis =
 * === This animation reviews the stages of the cell cycle. How is this different from the stages of mitosis? ===


 * ===Take notes on the stages of the cell cycle using the following powerpoint presentation. This should be a review from 10th grade biology.===


 * ===Complete the following on-line lab on mitosis to familiarize yourself with the process.===

[]
= Topic: Control of the Cell Cycle =
 * ===Read about the 2001 Nobel Prize research on control of the cell cycle===

[]

 * ===This article is a good introduction to factors controlling the cell cycle===

[[file:Cyclins and CdK.pdf]]

 * ===And what happens when these controls go awry?===

[[file:Oncogenes.pdf]]

 * ===Powerpoint: Control of Cell Division===

 * ===Youtube Video on Cell Cycle checkpoints===

= Topic: Stem Cells =




 * ===Below is a link to a case study on Stem Cells. It consists of two parts===

===Part 2: Each pair of students (or group of 3) will be assigned to a different role. You must consider the topic of stem cell research from the perspective of your assigned role. Each of you will be responsible for writing a short position paper (1-2 pages) to try to make your case for or against stem cell research. Make sure to include current information. Make sure to include references and data to support your position.===


 * ==And....hot off the press.... October 21, 2013...How to turn fat cells into liver cells!!==

= Topic : Cell Communication =
 * ==This is the introductory video on cell communication==

 * ==Here is the powerpoint on Cell Communication. Use it to check notes and review diagrams.==


 * ==To give you some insight into how complex these pathways are, go to this website and click on a couple of pathways. Yikes!!!==

 * ==Read about the 2012 nobel prize winning work on cell communication!==


 * ==Here is the link to Mr. Anderson's video on Signal Transduction.==

 * ==And what happens when cells don't communicate properly? Use this reading as a starting point for your research on diseases.==


 * ==Hot off the press....Two articles involving cell signaling!==

 * ==Here is the TED Video "How Bacteria talk"==


 * ==View the video on how cells react in what is called the "flight or fight respose." Use the information on the play by play description to draw a diagram illustrating the pathway of cell communication which maps out your body's responses. make sure to include both extracellular and intracellular responses.==

 * ==One last cell signal pathway to analyze....==


 * ==Look over this example to review for the test.==
 * ==This is an excellent video which ties together just about everything you have learned about cells. Sit back and enjoy!==
