Use the Central Dogma/Fixing Gene Expression cards WITHOUT labels BEFORE students have learned the content and have them try to figure it out, use their questions to guide the learning. Then have them add to it and change it as they learn more.
This activity uses the film "Some Animals are More Equal Than Others, coupled with foodweb modeling to learn about foodwebs, trophic cascades and keystone species.
A highly engaging kinethetic modeling activity designed to generate survivorship data for a 'soap bubble' model organism population to be used for graphical analyses.
Students will group lizard cards based the visible traits. Afterwards, students can consider whose diagram is correct. Lastly, they storyboard how they think the lizard populations change in response to a disturbance. This helps elicit student ideas.
In this activity, upper level college students undertake the “Fixing” Gene Expression card sort and then review how each step of the process is regulated and what modifications can be made to each molecule.
Students simulate Robert Paine's experiment by "removing" different organisms from their "desktop" tide pool ( strips of paper represent each species in the tide pool food web) and "hypothesizing" what the effect of the removal would be.
