Cell Membrane and Transport Middle School - This Introductory Biology lesson Lesson is meant to be done over 2-3 days and is broken up accordingly. It discusses both the cell membrane (structure and function) as well as the different types of transport across the membrane. It is geared towards students who are unfamiliar with both. The lesson provides multiple guided opportunities for the students to create thinking maps and check their understanding.

This lesson package includes the lesson (student and teacher versions), SIX embedded videos, a student lesson handout as a document, and a 4-question exit ticket.

If you're looking for a lesson geared at students in grades 9-10, please check out Cell Membrane and Transport - Introductory PowerPoint Lesson & Notes. The lessons are similar but that lesson goes into more depth while this one uses simpler wording and keeps concepts are easy to understand as possible.

The lesson content includes:

• Cell Membrane Structure and Function
• Cell Membrane Channels
• Cell Membrane Transport
• Simple Diffusion and Temperature
• Facilitated Diffusion and Osmosis
• Passive Transport
• Hypo, Hyper, and Isotonic Solutions
• Active Transport

Included in the lesson package:

• The teacher version of the presentation
• The student version of the presentation
• SIX embedded videos
• An auto-graded Exit Ticket
• Student lesson handout

The student version of the presentation contains multiple blanks that need to be filled in throughout the lesson. These blanks are conveniently underlined and bolded on the teacher copy. I have found this to be the most effective means of keeping my students engaged and active without having them write everything out. This also leaves more time for discussion and activities.

Google and Distance Learning Ready

• This lesson includes both Office and Google formats for ALL resources. The presentation is in PowerPoint and Google Slides while all documents contain Word and Google Doc versions.
• Your resource is perfect for distance learning and integrates seamlessly with Google Classroom as I've included a link that will automatically create a copy of the resources and put them directly into your Google Drive with one click.
• Purchase --> Open --> Click --> Assign to your students

Having both options allows you to use either without worrying about formatting issues as all the work has already been done for you. It safeguards you in case your department or school decides to go Google 100% and allows you as well as your students to access everything no matter where you are or what kind of equipment is being used.

Exit Ticket

Included in your package is an Exit Ticket which can be directly accessed from the last Google Slide. Additionally, your purchase will create a copy of the Google Form Exit Ticket which you can edit to meet your class needs.
