Instructional Ideas
- Pause video around 6:20 to allow scholars to ask questions, discuss signal transduction, and record notes on epinephrine
- Repeat this process after discussion on gene expression
Classroom Considerations
- Must have a computer, access to the Internet, and a way to project the video to use the resource
- Video assumes your class knows enzymes and ATP; also expects they have a basic foundation for a signal transduction pathway
- Video 26 in a series of 31
Pros
- Includes a link for a concept map, slideshow, and review sheet
- Provides links for related videos near the end
Cons
- Although the instructor attempts to simplify signal transduction, this is a complex process which may overwhelm some pupils
