🔎Ever wondered how a cell knows what to let in and keep out? The cell membrane is an incredible "gatekeeper," allowing only certain substances to enter or exit the cell. But how does it work? 🦠In this interactive class, we’ll take a virtual journey to discover the fascinating molecular structure of the cell membrane. Through visual exploration and lively discussions, we’ll dive into the makeup of phospholipids and see just how selective the membrane is. Students will learn how different chemicals interact with the plasma membrane and why it’s so crucial to cellular function. The relaxed and curious atmosphere will encourage students to ask questions, share ideas, and gain a deeper understanding of how our cells work every day. Together, we’ll uncover the hidden wonders of the plasma membrane and its role in maintaining the balance of life inside our cells!
Learning Goals
Students will uncover the structure of the plasma membrane as we journey together and explore through visuals, simulations, and conversation. They will be amazed when they see how it functions in relation to the cell.
