Students in Dr. Degenhardts's Biology 1 class conducted an inquiry-based laboratory investigation into the properties of biological cell membranes. The objective of the experiment was to learn about the structure of the cell membranes, and how they function to maintain homeostasis in living organisms. Students used a soap-based solution to study the chemical structure of membranes. They also simulated the transport of molecules into and out of cells through vesicles and protein channels. And then...they made some really impressive soap bubbles.
