going over a hill
going around a carousel
going down a slide
going through a tunnel

Answer:
Students compare and contrast passive and active transport by playing a game to model this phenomenon. Movement through cell membranes is also modeled, as well as the structure and movement typical of the fluid mosaic model of the cell membrane. Concentration gradient, sizes, shapes and polarity of molecules determine the method of movement through cell membranes. This activity is associated with the Test your Mettle phase of the legacy cycle.This engineering curriculum meets Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).
Engineering Connection
Engineers use models to represent and better understand the world at various scales. To better understand cells, engineers construct and manipulate models. In this activity, students construct a cell membrane and provide areas for specific transport. A molecule's ability to permeate through a cell membrane is one of the main focuses of intracellular engineering. A great deal of research is being done in the field of biomedical engineering to learn about the inner-workings of cells in order to develop new forms of medical technology.
