Tasks: |
|
1 |
Game of Telephone You are to get a message from the teacher. They are
to relay the message through the class |
|
2 |
OK GO
Rube Goldberg Machine You are
to watch the video. How is the Rube Goldberg machine functioning similar to
the game telephone? Where might there have been failure points in the machine
before the perfect run? |
|
3 |
Notes > Immune System and Cell Communication “What ways do the cells of the immune system
communicate with each other?” Focus on the immune response. How are the
actions of the cells like the game telephone and a Rube Goldberg machine? |
|
4 |
T-Cell
Immune Response You are
to receive an example T cell response. You are to review the schematic for
familiar cell structures and functions. Then, let’s connect it to the cell communication
and signaling in unit 4. |
|
5 |
Card Sort – Types of Cell Signaling Groups, you are to sort the scenarios into the four
types of cell signaling. |
|
6 |
Notes
> Cell Communication Let’s go
over the details. |
|
7 |
Poster: Ligands You are assigned a ligand (signal molecule). You
will research its properties, identify the signaling
mechanism and range, and produce a simple flow chart showing how the signal
is produced, transmitted, received, and the cellular response. Due end of the
week. See details on the document. |
