Creating Stop-Motion Animations to Learn Molecular Biology Dynamics

Classes in molecular biology have historically used static diagrams to capture how molecular processes occur in space and time. Here we describe using 3D claymation as an alternative. Students choose a molecular process, plan how to represent it with physical objects, and produce a stop motion video...
