Active Learning for Basic Metabolic Pathways

Understanding the basic cellular function of metabolic pathways and how those pathways interact in cellular metabolism is a foundational concept in microbiology and general biology. A cooperative learning activity has been designed where students first generate cards to represent basic facts about...

A cooperative learning activity has been designed where students first generate cards to represent basic facts about each pathway, and then they connect these pathways given certain specific environmental scenarios. This should enhance their working knowledge of how pathways allow cells to adapt to the environment.http://jmbesubmissions.asm.org/index.php/jmbe/article/view/752pathwaysbiochemistrylearning activity
