A ~48 page collection of worksheets and review questions for a 300-level Cell Biology Course.
The document contains questions to help students practice Cell Biology Concepts. Most of these exercises were short in-class activities, where students would work on these problems for 10-15 min of class. The document also contains a few sets of multiple choice review questions for students to practice concepts on their own.
This activity contains a concept map on DNA replication and repair. These topics are challenging for most undergraduates; thus, this exercise is designed them to give them practice at distinguishing between the enzymes and processes involved.
This exercise is designed to help students identify the parts of a gene and an mRNA. The exercise requires a synthesis of their understanding of the various steps of gene expression.
This is a review exercise on mitosis and meiosis. Many students struggle with recognizing the similarities and differences between these processes. Therefore, this exercise involves a compare and contrast table. A concept map is used to review the steps of meiosis.
An online lab guidebook to prepare students for the labs in our Introductory Cell and Molecular Biology Course
This exercise is designed to help undergraduates understand cellular macromolecules and the monomer/polymer relationships important for cells. The exercise is designed to be performed in class, and includes a guided note-taking table and some short-answer questions that students complete independently to evaluate the structures of sugars and DNA.
A short in-class exercise to help introductory biology students apply the scientific method
This template will be used to help instructors provide guidance to other instructors who wish to use the OER resources created in our repository of activities for the Biological Sciences.
