  1. Life Science Warmup Compare and Contrast 1) Mitosis vs. Meiosis 2) Unicellular vs. Multicellular 3) Prokaryote vs. Eukaryote

  2. Protein Construction and Cells Board Game October 17th, 2011

  3. Nucleus-Ribosome Communication tRNAcodon w/ amino acid tRNAcodon w/ amino acid Nucleus DNA Ribosome rRNA mRNA strand Assembled Protein tRNAcodon w/ amino acid tRNAcodon w/ amino acid

  4. Nucleus-Ribosome Communication DNA : ATGCCGACG mRNA: UACGGCUGC tRNA: AUG, CCG, and ACG tRNA floats around the cytoplasm and bonds to a specific amino acid. It then diffuses back towards the ribosomes carrying the building block. Outcome: three amino acids are coded for and are assembled into a protein chain. rRNA: serves as a local controller for the ribosome and is probably not directly involved in protein assembly. m= messenger t = transfer r = ribosomal

  6. Board Game Goal Cell Theory Materials Transportation History of Discovery Metabolism Hierarchies of Organization Cells Organelles Differentiation and Specialization Reproduction Students understand cell theory, metabolisms, and categories of organic compounds. Students know the functions organelles carry out (nucleus, ribosome, mitochondria, chloroplast, mitochondria) Students can differentiate between plant eukaryote, animal eukaryote, and prokaryotic cells, and between stem and specialized cells, and between haploid and diploid cells, and understand the difference between types of cell division, sexual reproduction, and asexual reproduction.

  7. Board Game Grading

  8. Board Game Examples 1) “Enthusiast style”: Starting with a primitive prokaryote cell, ingest other specialized prokaryotes and food to try to build the ultimate cell and store as much energy as possible. Choose your starting metabolism, and one starting organelle. Spend energy to move around the map and land on squares with additional resources. Decide whether to eat other prokaryotes (if possible) or turn them into organelles. Choose a specialty when you get to a certain size. Organelles get you “Booster Cards” and specialties get you a second cell to permanently control part of the map in a particular way. 2) “American style”: roll dice to move around the map. Successfully answer cell trivia questions to get points. Include multiple kinds of decks of cards. Have a special competitive mechanism to win the game once you’re up to a certain number of points. 3) “Euro style”: Players start with a random hand of cards, and can trade, play, and draw additional cards each turn. They can then spend ATP, answer a question from a certain category, and recoup ATP based on the cards they are holding. The losing player chooses the category, which can help or hurt other players depending on how generalized or specialized their hand of cards is.
