Stem Cell Webquest

We have spent time looking at the parts of a cell and different kinds of cells. We are going to be learning about how cells know what kind of cells to be and how DNA actually works. One of the hot science issues that the new Obama government will be looking at is stem cell research. Today's webquest will help you to learn about stem cells (with nice little cartoon interactives) and current research being done on stem cells.

Glogster Cell Poster

We are going to be making a virtual poster about a cell organelle. We are using a new poster program called GLOGSTER. You need to get a login and password from Mrs. S before you start.

Here are the directions for Glogster and for the assignment

This is an example of the glogster poster I have created on the cell theory.
