Aktivitas 3 - Scientific Influencers: Explaining Cell Division

> Durasi: 60 - 70 minutes

- Tujuan: Build scientific communication skills through creating educational videos, employing storytelling techniques and video editing to make the content accessible and engaging.

- Deskripsi Aktivitas: Students will create a short 'digital influencer' video showcasing a group member acting as a famous scientist (real or fictional) who creatively explains the stages of mitosis and meiosis. These videos can be edited and shared on platforms like YouTube or other suitable sharing sites.

- Instruksi:

• Divide the class into groups of up to 5 students.

• Each group should select a famous scientist to portray as their influencer.

• Create a script where the influencer presents and explains the stages of mitosis and meiosis.

• Record the video using phones, and if possible, edit it to add effects and make it more engaging.

• Videos should be 3 to 5 minutes long.

• Post the videos on a YouTube channel or an accessible sharing platform for students.

• Each group should watch and give constructive feedback on the videos of other groups.

Umpan Balik

Durasi: 20 - 25 minutes

This stage aims to consolidate learning and encourage critical reflection on the activities. By discussing their experiences and receiving constructive feedback, students reinforce their understanding of cell division concepts and develop essential interpersonal skills such as communication and collaboration.

Diskusi Kelompok

Facilitate a discussion where all students can share their experiences from the activities. Use this guide to introduce the discussion:

1. Start with a General Question: 'What were the main challenges and learning opportunities when creating digital content about mitosis and meiosis?'
2. Ask for Specific Details: 'Can you share an example of a post or video you created that effectively explained the cell cycle?'
3. Discuss the Differences: 'What were the key differences between mitosis and meiosis that you noticed while preparing your materials?'

Refleksi

1. How did using social media help you understand cell division concepts better? 2. How did creating quizzes and videos aid in retaining information about mitosis and meiosis? 3. What insights did you gain from your peers' feedback regarding the content you produced?

Umpan Balik 360º

Conduct a 360° feedback session where each student receives input from their group members. Guide students to give constructive and respectful feedback. Emphasise the importance of feedback for personal and professional growth. Suggest using phrases like 'I liked...' and 'It would be even better if...' to guide their comments.

Kesimpulan

Durasi: 10 - 15 minutes

The intention of this stage is to synthesise learning in a fun and relevant way, enhancing the link between scientific content and the dynamics of the modern world. By summarising concepts and discussing their practical applications, students reinforce their knowledge and appreciate the importance of what they have learned.

Ringkasan

To wrap things up, let’s review the vital points about cell division in an enjoyable manner! Imagine that mitosis is like a photocopier, producing two identical daughter cells from the mother cell, while meiosis resembles an art school, creating four unique and distinct daughter cells. In the cell cycle, we have the G1, S, and G2 phases preparing for the show of division, whether it's the detailed choreography of mitosis or the creative flair of meiosis!

Dunia

Today's lesson connects with the modern age by using social media and other digital platforms that are part of students' everyday lives. Turning scientific concepts into content for Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube not only makes learning more appealing but also illustrates how biology is relevant and integrated into contemporary life.

Aplikasi

Understanding cell division is vital not just for school assessments, but also for grasping biotechnological and medical processes, such as tissue regeneration and assisted reproduction. This helps us better understand conditions like cancer, where cell division goes haywire.
