Throughout the past month you’ve gained a lot of insights into your cellular world.
Below are several questions to help you explore your current understandings. Relax,
be thoughtful, and have fun!
Remember to use examples from class, your challenge board and other
explorations, and life experiences to strengthen your perspectives. Drawings and
illustrations are welcome to accompany/enhance your responses, though captions are
recommended to maximize understanding of your glorious images.
1. “Ugg, cells are so boring. I don’t care. The only time cells matter is in school when our teachers make us,” says your
friend in the hallway. You, full of cellular wisdom, have been challenged. Given what you know, what would you say and
do to help your friend understand why and how they should care about their trillions of cells?
2. Let’s give our cells some credit. What are ways that our cells increase our invincibility?
3. We’ve explored how our choices and environments can impact our cells. Come up with a question and design an
experiment to explore the impact of one of your choices or environmental factors on your cells. Why are you interested in
the question you created? How would you test your question? What materials might you need? Identify what sorts of data
and information you might need to investigate your question.
4. Time and again we’ve been asking each other, “How Invincible Are You?” Your response to this may change over
time but with your current cellular understandings, how invincible do you believe you are?
