Category
Published on
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:
- 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
Instructor materials for this learning module are available here.
