After taking a biopsy of Henrietta's cervical cancer, researcher Dr. George Gey discovered that Henrietta's cells could not only reproduce, but THRIVE outside the body--a breakthrough that would change modern medicine. Later, it was found that Henrietta's cells were ev

Potatoes on Mars
This is a culminating project that I use for my unit on Metabolism. It is based on the book/movie, “The Martian” and utilizes the science from the book to have students determine if they would be able to survive on Mars just like the character Mark Watney does. Once students see the problem solving involved in this process, they are tasked with creating a proposal for NASA about the single best crop they should take to begin a colony on Mars. This project asks students to work collaboratively,
