Virtual Cell Animation Collection - Molecular and Cellular Biology Education
Grades
9 to 12tag(s): cells (80), photosynthesis (20), respiration (10)
In the Classroom
Use this free site for greater differentiation among learners in the Biology classroom. Use these animations at any point in a unit of study in Cell Biology. Use animations (on your projector or interactive whiteboard) as much of the content is very difficult for many students to grasp. Use animations with students summarizing the process in their own words for later review. Create a study guide that follows the processes and asks important points. Use the animations to create a vocabulary list to provide ahead of time to become familiar with the difficult language of Biology. Challenge students to create flashcards (with the key vocabulary words) using a site such as Quizlet, reviewed here.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
