Provide your class with a simple explanation of channel protein movement. Pupils view a short video segment and explore how channel proteins move ions across a plasma membrane. They conclude the lesson with a short discussion of cell organisms and the importance each component serves in overall cellular function.

Instructional Ideas

• Divide the class into groups and play a game to mimic the operation of channel proteins
• Research the importance of channel proteins and how other components of the cell assist them in daily operations

Classroom Considerations

• Ensure there is enough time to cover the material and that the class fully understands the concept before moving forward

• This video is hosted on YouTube

Pros

• Gives a thorough breakdown of protein movement across the membrane so the class may understand this complex issue
• Contains pauses/breaks in the video to allow learners the opportunity to ask questions

Cons

• None
