Abstract

This learning module provides a review of "cells", the smallest unit exhibiting the properties of life.  It discusses how these cells are being used in bioMEMS as well as other micro and nano-sized devices.  A research activity provides the opportunity to further explore how cells can be used in bioMEMS (bio MicroElectroMechanical Systems).

This learning module contains the following:

  • Learning Module Map (suggested outline for instructors)
  • Pre-test:  Knowledge Probe
  • Reading:  Cells: The Building Blocks of Life
  • Presentation:  Cells: The Building Blocks of Life
  • Activity: Research on Cells - The Building Block of Life
  • Assessment

Instructors: Please create a nanoHUB account and then request SCME Group membership in order to obtain Instructor Guides and editable slides for your personal classroom use.

Student materials for this learning module are available here.
