CELL COMMUNICATION
Stop Motion Video Project
TASK: To create an interactive model using cutout pieces of construction paper, chalk, pipe
cleaners, clay, or other appropriate materials to describe the key features/components in a cell
signaling pathway system and explain the three stages of cell signaling: reception, transduction,
and cellular response.
PRESENTATION: Create a unique stop motion video demonstrating cellular communication/signal
transduction
One person from your group will need to download the app called “Stop Motion Studio” to their phone,
iPad, or iPod. This program will allow you to create a stop motion video and post this to our google
classroom. There is no required length for this video as long as it contains every aspect of the rubric
below.
PROCEDURE
1. Each group should select one of the following cell signaling pathways
 G- Protein
 Ligand-Gated
 Tyrosine Kinase
2. Your video must include:

The secretory cell

The target cell

Ligand/signaling molecule

Receptor activated and inactivated

Targeted enzyme(s) activated and inactivated

ATP and Phosphorylation cascade

Cellular response

Any necessary commentary, verbal or written, needed to explain the process that is
occurring
