Overview: This lesson plan is developed to introduce students on the influence of surfaces onto cellular behavior. Students will start this inquiry by developing testable hypothesis and experimental protocols and progress through the activity by making observations on cellular behavior and developing possible explanations for their observations. This activity is inspired by current ongoing research. At the end of this lesson students will present their findings through a presentation, which is analogous to disseminating information through scientific meetings. Keywords: Cell Surface, Cellular Behavior, Cell Function, Cellular Shape, Cell Appearance
