| Example resources: . | Advantages . | Disadvantages . |
|---|---|---|
| Fisher Scientific (catalog # S98808 and # S02447), Molecular modeling kits | Interactive and visual; ready to use; includes teacher guide and all necessary supplies. | Cost of kit; lack of complexity and flexibility; some kits do not address energy transformation; some kits do not integrate both processes. |
| Carolina Biological (item # 746500 and # 746478 ), Molecular modeling kits | Interactive and visual; includes teacher guide and all necessary supplies. | Cost of kit; lack of complexity and flexibility; some kits do not address energy transformation; do not integrate both processes. |
| Science Take-out (sciencetakeout.com, Catalog # STO-122), Printout with worksheets and student handouts | Interactive and visual; includes teacher guide and all necessary supplies. | Cost of handouts; lack of complexity and flexibility; energy transformation not integrated in simulated activity. |
| Cellular Respiration explored, Sim Bio, computer module | Data driven; interactive with student questions and feedback; tested for effectiveness; relevant context. | Substantial cost; computer access required; less flexible and more focus on process; does not integrate both processes. |
| Videos—examples include BioFlix with Campbell, youtube videos | Observe whole process with realistic molecular visualizations. | Some videos are not interactive with student questions; do not specifically address energy and matter conversions; often do not integrate both processes. |
| Case studies—such as sciencecases.lib.buffalo.edu/cs/files/cellular_respiration.pdf | Relevant context for students; data driven; interactive with questions instructor materials. | Focus on specifics of process and steps rather than matter/energy cycling; does not integrate the both processes. |
