Active Transport Model

ABOUT THIS PRODUCT:

Active transport made easy with our colourful model!

Active transport is used in many situations in biology. Unlike diffusion and osmosis it needs energy. Help your students with this important notion by making our model.

• Students make their models of a root hair cell, small intestine and molecules, & ions.
• Look at why active transport is needed in plant roots and our digestive system and how it works using paper ions and molecules.
• These activities teach glucose uptake in the gut, mineral ion uptake by root hair cells, and also shows water uptake by osmosis.
• Learn about diffusion gradients and how tissues are specialized for absorption. It also emphasizes the difference to diffusion and osmosis.
• Takes just 20 minutes to build the model!

Perfect for use in class or for distance learning at home!
