Webquest Science Project

Introduction

Scientists often study cells since they are the most important part of every living thing. Studying cells helps us understand how our life and bodies work. There are many different studies done on different topics of the cells. Scientists study about diseases or illnesses, how our body functions, or how we grow. Learning about the cells not only makes us more intelligent but it also makes us think about our lives.

Task

Your job in the WebQuest is to learn about current research involving different

types of cells. You will investigate how scientists studying diverse scientific topics

are adding to the current body of knowledge about cells. You also will explore

questions and answers about the roles that different cells play in our bodies. You

will answer a set of questions to demonstrate what you have learned. Once

you've explored information to increase your knowledge of developments in cell

studies and how cells work in the human body, you'll write a summary about one

of the topics you investigated. The purpose of this summary is to write about a

scientific topic using a style suited for posting on a Web site.

Process

Proteins that protect and repair the brain can delay or stop growth

decreased blood flow to the brain is also a cause. An oral drug that you take 2 times a day can help with memory impairment.

 

An experiment on rats demonstrates that people can obtain

stem cells out of fat cells, and they can help repair injury to

the spinal cord.

 

Since human cells and frog cells have similar proteins it is easy for scientists to study them.

 

They are a type of cells that support and protect neurons in the nervous system by farming a layer that insulates nerve axons they stop blood clotting, and without them people can develop conditions such as Alzheimer's disease or schizophrenia.

 

It doesn't digest itself because it is lined with ephical cells, they produce mucus. that forms a barrier between the stomach & the

contents.

Evaluation

4 points-The results show that a lot of thought went into collecting and summarizing information.

Points for process- 3

Web summary

1 point- Summary was sloppy and not well prepared

2 points- The summary included key information but lacked general cohesiveness.

3 points- Information was presented well, but lacked organization.

4 points- Summary was well organized information was clearly and concisely stated.

Points for Web Summary- 3

Conclusion

After reading about all the different types of ways cells help take care of our bodies i hope you learned a thing or two. I have talked about how science and cells can stop memory impairment, how fat cells can help injuries in the spinal cord, why the stomach doesn’t digest itself and a few more. The cells in your body are probably multiplying right this second.
