Cellular Soap Opera - Soap Films Can Behave Like Membranes

For Teachers 6th - 12th
Soap, suds, and cell membranes. Pupils create a model of a cell membrane by using soap films. They experiment with trying to pass different objects through the film without popping it. Using a tube, they create a passageway through the...

Osmotic Pressure: Spontaneous Balloon Popping

For Students 9th - Higher Ed
Visualize osmosis using an interactive activity. As learners monitor a simulation, they witness the particle movement through the membrane. A balloon represents the cellular membrane and 'pops' as osmosis creates an imbalance of particles.

Diffusion Across a Permeable Membrane

For Students 9th - 12th Standards
Oxygen and carbon dioxide freely cross cell membranes. The simulation demonstrates the diffusion of these across a permeable membrane. To create a great visual for users, it graphs the balance of molecules as it changes throughout the...

Diffusion Across Semipermeable Membranes

For Students 9th - 12th Standards
Mitochondria use two semipermeable membranes to work properly. Young scientists adjust the pore size for two membranes. They then observe the diffusion of two different sizes of molecules.

Diffusion Across a Semipermeable Membrane

For Students 9th - 12th Standards
Semipermeable membranes allow water to go through—but not larger molecules. The simulation encourages pupils to adjust the membrane pore size to understand how this works. It also provides a way to trace the movement of a single molecule.

Cell Membrane Color Sheet and Build a Cell Membrane

For Teachers 9th - 12th
A cell of another color is still a cell. Pupils color a cell to identify its structures in the fourth segment of a seven-segment series. Groups work together to build a three-dimensional cell membrane segment, which is combined with...
