300 Why do cells divide?
300 How is the cell cycle related to cell reproduction?
300 How does aberration of the mechanism relate to cancer?
300 What is the relationship between cell development and stem cells?

400 1. Asexual modes of reproduction
400 2. Factors influencing the cell cycle including SA/Vol
400 3. Phases of the Cell Cycle
400 4. Cell Cycle Aberrations (i.e. cancer)
400 5. Stem cell technology and its role in development of differentiated tissue
400 6. Phases of Cell Reproduction
500 1. Identify phases of reproduction using allium root tip prepared slides
500 2. Using allium root tip prepared slides, calculate percent time spent in each of the
500      reproductive phases.
500 3. Relate the SA/Vol ratio to the cell's capacity to interact with its environment
500 4. Identify the consequence of uncontrolled cell growth
500 5. Confirm and draw conclusions of the potential for stem cell research to resolve problems associated with differentiated cell repair due to damage/breakdown 
600 1. Analysis of surface area/volume in relation to nutrient absorption
600 2. Observation of allium root tips for cell cycle stage identification
700 Objective/Subjective Testing (40-50: 60-50 percent)
700 Laboratory Experiences
700    Allium Root Tip slides (for phase ID and term)
700    Surface Area/Vol studies
700 Cooperative Activities
700 Class Discussion
