Find teacher approved Meiosis educational resource ideas and activities
Students construct and manipulate models of mitosis and meiosis and compare/contrast them. They create the models using index cards and yarn, interpret diagrams and photographs, and summarize written descriptions.
Students identify synapsis as the key event in meiosis. They explain how synapsis leads to the formation of haploid gametes. Exploration of the differences between the processes of mitosis and meiosis occur. In accordance, explanations on how meiosis generates new combinations for natural selection.
Students identify the differences between the processes of mitosis and meiosis and explain how meiosis generates new combinations for natural selection. They illustrate the processes by square dancing.
In this science worksheet, students answer 15 questions about mitosis and meiosis. For example, "What is a major feature of prophase in mitosis?"
Students compare and contrast the two types of cell divisions namely meiosis and mitosis. In this biology instructional activity, students create chromosome models. They identify the different stages of cell division.
Student list the steps of mitosis with a brief definition of each stage. Then they begin their study of meiosis. They practice placing the stages of meiosis in order using flashcards depicting the Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase.
In this meiosis worksheet, students fill in the blank that describes the process of meiosis. Students also draw the process of meiosis.
In this biology word search activity, students search for 24 words related to the cell cycle and meiosis. They check off the words in a word bank that is located at the bottom of the page.
Students study the cell cycle and see the differences between mitosis and meiosis. In this cell reproduction lesson students complete several activities.
Photos of the meiotic process and characteristics of each phase are contained in this collection of slides. The photos, however, are of low resolution and would be best viewed on a smaller screen. Have your biology learners watch this as homework, and then have them come to the laboratory to view slides of actual cells in meiosis under a microscope.
