UtSTA 2024: Out-Of-This-World Science Teaching

In this hands-on, minds-on session, participants will construct models to show the movement of ions and nutrients across membranes with emphasis placed on the large and small particles that pass through the membrane to maintain homeostasis. They will connect theory with results from popular homeostasis labs. They will make and defend a claim based on evidence that homeostasis results from a variety of factors. This presentation will help educators guide their students in asking questions and defining problems, planning and carrying out investigations, interpreting data, and developing and using models. This presentation supports Standard Bio.2.4.
