Active Learning Activities

Active learning activities are tailored to specific learning outcomes and content. They incorporate one or more of the evidence-based strategies. Structured to expose their theoretical underpinnings, the activities can be used by practitioners and researchers alike.

STEM Biology

Students play the roles of protein complexes to see how electrons, protons, and energy moves through the ETC to produce ATP.
