Active Transport Claymation Videos

Mrs. McClellan's 9th grade Living Environment class made claymation videos modeling active transport. Active transports is a process of moving molecules from low to high concentration using a carrier protein. The process uses energy in the form of ATP. One example of when active transport is used, is when plant root cells move magnesium from very low concentrations in the soil, into a higher concentration in the plant cells. Students used modeling clay, iPhones, and the "Lapse-It" app to make these short video clips.
