TWT2011-Using+Styx+animation+to+model+biological+processes

**Session: 25. Using Stykx animation to model biological processes** **Presenter: Caitlin Kilts ** **School: Hewitt School **

**Description: **

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 their laptop or they will need to pair with another participant who  has one. If possible, please download the Stykz program ( []).
