The Cell Cycle and Mitosis
What a packed lesson! Provide your class with the opportunity to learn about the cell cycle in several exciting ways. Biologists first learn about the theory behind mitosis, then proceed to view onion tips under the microscope and create...
Biology Junction
Cell Reproduction
Cycles exist throughout nature, and the cell cycle compares to a life cycle of any other living being. A worksheet and presentation discuss the concepts of cell reproduction through the cell cycle. They cover each phase individually and...

Cell Division
Searching for simple ways to teach mitosis to high schoolers? Using colored chalk and onion root tips, pupils visually demonstrate what they view when looking through the lens of a microscope. There are also various ways to expand the...
Curated OER
Mitosis Notes
In this mitosis worksheet, students examine the different phases of cell division and fill in key points on a notes page. Teacher master for overhead included.
Curated OER
Interactive Meiosis
Students study meiosis and the stages of mitosis. In this meiosis lesson plan students divide into groups and complete an activity.
Curated OER
Mitosis and Meiosis Exercise
In this cell division activity, students answer 15 multiple choice questions about both mitosis and meiosis. Topics include the outcomes of the processes, the phases of the processes and steps within each process.
Curated OER
Somatic Cell Division
In this cell division worksheet, students review the steps involved in a human somatic cell, from interphase to mitosis, to cytokinesis. This worksheet has 21 fill in the blank statements.
Curated OER
Meiosis
In this meiosis activity, students study a diagram showing the different phases in meiosis I and meiosis II to complete 3 short answer questions.
Curated OER
Cell Reproduction
In this cell reproduction worksheet, students will review the 5 phases of the cell cycle: telophase, interphase, prophase, metaphase, and anaphase. Students will use the cell cycle diagram to complete 5 short answer questions.
Curated OER
Sexual Reproduction and Meiosis
In this biology worksheet, 9th graders label each of the diagrams representing the stages of meiosis. Then they describe how gametes vary from other cells in the body. Students also explain what happens during the process of fertilization.
Curated OER
Sexual Reproduction and Meiosis
In this biology instructional activity, 9th graders create one chromosome using a red plasticine and another using blue plasticine. Then they illustrate different ways of crossing over, including double crossovers. Students also explain...
Curated OER
Cell Growth and Division
Students explore the cell cycle. They examine why the cell cycle is necessary. Students discuss the processes of interphase and mitosis. They explore the general phases of mitosis; prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.
Curated OER
More on Mitosis
In this mitosis instructional activity, students review the 4 phases of mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. This instructional activity has 17 fill-in-the-blank statements.
Curated OER
The Cell
In this biology learning exercise, students identify and locate various vocabulary terms related to cells of the body. There are 31 biology terms located in the word search.
