Biología celular: ¡Aprenda más sobre usted, las células y la vida!

This is an introductory course for foundations in cellular biology and part of a series.  While you do not need to take the series from me you will need an idea of the material in these other classes.  It is just harder to just slide into it half way through.  A lot of people might think you just jump to a higher classes it will be easier.  When the classes get harder the previous learning is a necessary step to later learning.  Vocabulary, background, and previous steps are necessary.
- The first class is Biology and all about several scientific processes like diffusion, active transport, then the class moves on to cells and cellular organelles.  
- The second class is Genetics I, we will be going over cell growth, cell cycle, cancer, basic meiosis, standard mendelliam genetic, crosses, and punnett squares.
- The third class is Genetics II, we will be going over cellular protein manufacturing, transcription, translation, genetic change, and when heredity follows different rules.

All previous learning will come quickly as its meant to be a review and act as a spring board to new topics and new learning.  

The ideal student will be going into high school or excited about science topics.  Almost each session will have a reading, and some questions after the reading that is to be done BEFORE class.  These question are a pre assessment and they are just asking clarification questions like does the student understand what they were reading? On our class day I will high light some important points in the reading.
The general structure is this...
- Session One: Three Types of Foods, what a cell needs and how it can grow and development
- Session Two: Cellular Energy - Sunlight to glucose to cellular fuel (ATP n ADP).
- Session Three: Water and Diffusion - this is about the processes of moving stuff moves in and out of the cell. it sounds easy enough but these are important concepts.
- Session Four: Plasma Membrane - more than just the cells screen door.  The plasma membrane is the gate keeper controlling diffusion.
- Session Five: Organelles, Prokaryotic and Eukaryotes (oh my)
- Session Six: Project Examples and Cell Model description, its just getting ready for our presentation.
- Session Seven: Cell Model Student Presentations
- Session Eight: Specialized organelles found in different cell types leading to cell specialties.

After this the student should have a grasp of these concepts.  The over all goal is to explain how diet, and nutrition effects the cells and the whole body.  We will also touch on the concept of cancer, new born cellular specialization.  It greatest benefit will be more science literacy, critical thinking skills and a better understanding of science and scientific thinking.
