A teacher-based grouping strategy where students work in groups of four. To discuss an assigned topic(osmosis and diffusion) and come to a conclusion or correct answer from the group. (Ward, 1987).

Students benefit from this type of grouping by engaging with other students and bouncing off answers to the assigned topic (osmosis and diffusion). Each student puts in the same amount of work and each student is held accountable. (Ward, 1987).

A teacher-based grouping strategy that allows students who have mastered the content (osmosis and diffusion) to move on, or help students that have not mastered the content. An article in Teaching in mixed ability classrooms (2006).

Students benefit from this type of learning by helping others in the group that are not on point with the objective (Mitosis and meiosis). It also develops social skill by interacting with a group.

A student-based grouping strategy that allows for students to discuss a topic of their liking. Group together students who have the same interests on an objective. such as, those that like the cell in one group and ones that like organ systems in another. (Catapano, 2019).

Students benefits by learning something they are interested in. They can then present their information to the class as a whole.

A randomized grouping strategy that pairs students based on which card they color card they draw. (Catapano, 2019).

Students benefits by building on previous knowledge of the material. More effective learning through planning, sharing, and solving the objectives (the cell). This type of grouping allows for more interaction with other students. (Hock, 1961).

(Cerbin, 2010, p. 7).

Students benefit from this type of grouping by remaining engaged in learning the topic (osmosis and diffusion). Helps with content and identifies gaps in their learning. This type of collaboration also helps prepare the students for whole class discussions.
Instructor assess level of understand by feedback from the group. (Cerbin, 2010. p. 7).

Various virtual reality models set up at stations for students to understand various organ/organ system. Examples would be balloon bell, for the lung function. blood flow, for the heart function, and sarcomere, for muscle contractions. (Lateef, 2010).

Students benefit from this by actually being able to see how various organ/organs function. They know what is going on in their own bodies. (Lateef, 2010).

Students will form a hypothesis about how the experiment will go. They will include variables, such as, dependent, independent, and control. (Cerbin, 2010, p. 8).

Students will benefit by working together on the paper. Each adding their own part. They will learn how to write a scientific paper using the above mentioned terms and have a better understanding of what these terms mean. Students can exchange papers and see if they came up with the same variables. (Collaborative learning/learning with peers, n.d).

Have students work on a lab experiment and collect the data for a writing assignment. (Active and collaborative learning, n.d.)

Students benefit by learning through doing the experiment and seeing first hand how the body works through chemical processes. This will also allow them to collect data and do a write-up on the experiment.
