=TWT 2012 - Session 58: Using Stykz to Model Biological Processes=

Caitlin Kilts ckilts@hewittschool.org Science Teacher Hewitt School Grades 5-12 Subject areas: Science Level of experience recommended: Basic

//In this workshop, we will be discussing the didactic benefits of using computer modeling in biology classes. We will then view students’ animations of mitosis/meiosis, followed by an opportunity for each participant to design their own animation of the biological process of their choosing. We will also have a discussion about other ways to fit modeling into our science curricula. //

//After taking this workshop, participants will be able to describe the didactic benefits of computer modeling. //

Instructions for attendees: Participants are encouraged to bring a laptop or be prepared to pair with another participant who has one. Power point Presentation Grading rubric for meiosis Grading rubric for mitosis Interesting article on modeling
