Conn, J. (2012, October 1). Cell Membrane Bubble Lab - Clear Biology. Retrieved October 30,
2014, from http://www.clearbiology.com/cell-membrane-bubble-lab/

This resource is very comprehensive and addresses every aspect of the Bubble Lab Id
organize. Its appropriate for 9th grade biology students. Jeremy Conn provides diagrams,
simple explanations, and flexible options for teachers and students to explore when
experimenting with bubbles. The content includes information about the semi-permeability of
cell membranes and allows for students to become engaged in an activity that demonstrates
this. This lab is appropriate for essentially any age group, depending on the materials provided.
It is interactive enough to keep high school students interested and yet is easy enough for those
in middle or even late elementary school students to gain a basic understanding of the
composition of cells.

Klucevsek, K. (n.d.). The Cytoskeleton and Cell Wall. Retrieved October 30, 2014, from http://
education-portal.com/academy/lesson/the-cytoskeleton-microtubules-andmicrofilaments.html#lesson

In this online resource, Klucevsek provides and overview of the Cytoskeleton and as well as the
Cell Wall. She provides a fun video that could be used in conjunction to a discussion and
lecture. The quiz provided allows for students as well as instructor to monitor learning after the
discussion and lecture are complete. This resource is appropriate for high school students

(9th-12th grade.) The text contains some vocabulary that would be difficult for younger middle
school students; however the videos provided in this resource are appropriate for grades 6-12
grades. This resource would aid greatly by way of its diagrams and videos in order to give
students a visual reference of a cytoskeleton, cell wall, and their components.
