My rating of this resource: ***
My experience using this resource: Cell
Topic I was teaching: Cell Structure and function
My learning goal for which this resource was used: To be able to identify the structure and function of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
Course Level: A.P., Intro or Regular
How I/my students used the resource: This site offers great animations for use in class, but I am inclined to use it more for students to review on their own. I like the "quiz" feature that helps reinforce material.
Value Added: Provides visualization or animation, Increases modeling skills, Provides practice or tutorial
Strengths: engaging, fun, animations great (vs. still images), quizzes are good
Weaknesses: images are primitive, some information is incorrect (cell wall = selectivley permeable boundary)some choice options are more geared to an introductory level than an advanced/AP level so be sure to review before assigning to students |
