Insane in the Membrane is the name of the digital video game (DVG) embedded above. This digital video game explores cell membrane transport. Students who play this game can make inferences of characteristics regarding cell membrane transport (e.g., simple vs. facilitated diffusion). For SBI3C, I can use this DVG as an explorative piece for students to explore the patterns of the different cell membrane transport in this game. Students will reflect on this game with a series of guiding questions that will probe them to think about the characteristics of the game in relation to cell membrane transport (e.g., solute is channel specific).
Cell Defense is a game that looks at the structure and function of the plasma membrane and the components that make up the plasma membrane (e.g., phospholipids, carrier proteins, channel proteins, cholesterol, carbohydrates, and more). At the same time, it looks at the different methods of cell membrane transport such as diffusion, facilitated diffusion, active transport, and osmosis. This game as different categories or 'subgames' embedded within it. At the start page, students are able to choose which aspect of the plasma membrane and/or cell membrane transport they would like to focus on.
Macromolcule Man is an action game where students learn about the structure and functions of the different macromolecules. At the same time, this game may introduce a few organelles (e.g., carbohydrates are glucose that the mitochondria uses to make ATP).
