Artifact 3: Active and Passive Transport: The Play
Artifact 3.1: Class Handout
To demonstrate the concepts of active and passive transport to my students, I created a play entitled “Active and Passive Transport: the Play,” so that they could act it out instead of listening to it in lecture. The play was broken up into 4 acts: 1 act for each day that we would be doing the play. The idea was that each act would demonstrate a specific kind of transport: osmosis, facilitated diffusion, or active transport, and then the last act would tie everything together.
Each student was given the packet shown in this portion of the artifact and a role. These roles included phospholipids, water, calcium ions, calcium ion channel, glucose, glucose channel, and ATP, and each role was present in certain aspects of the play.
Artifact 3.2: Student Work
At the end of the four days, students were asked to fill in the reflection questions at the end of the packet. Three examples of student work are shown in this portion of the artifact.
Artifact 3.3: Packet Data
Data on the scores of what students got in their packets was used to determine the level of retention they had. The results are shown in this portion of the artifact.
