Reebops are cute, marshmallow-based creatures that can be used to teach inheritance. Beginning biologists draw strips of paper that represent chromosomes from two envelopes, one for the father, and one for the mother. Each parent...

Six pages begin with a detailed introduction to meiosis and homologous chromosome pairs. Instructions guide learners through a simulation in which they draw craft sticks marked with autosomes in order to decode the genes inherited by...

Young biologists define reproduction vocabulary terms, answer critical-thinking questions, label a diagram of the human life cycle, and complete a chart comparing mitosis to meiosis. This is a well-balanced worksheet. Even though it...

Investigate the ins and outs of cell division with this comprehensive set of activities. Detailed instructions for six different activities and your choice of eight different creative assessments can be found within this resource. By...

Fill- in-the-blank, labeling, and short answer questions make up this well-written cell division worksheet. Neat diagrams of chromosomes and dividing cells are included. Junior biologists show what they know about reproduction, meiosis,...

Whenever your students have a question about a stage of mitosis, you can be sure that viewing the relevant slide from this show will help their understanding. Covering the complete process of mitosis, this PowerPoint has images and...

This exam touches upon every topic within the typical first year biology course.. A broad variety of question styles give high schoolers every opportunity to show what they know. Why start from scratch when a comprehensive final exam is...

Has your class finished its unit on genetics? Use this resource to provide a quick, encompassing review. Mr. Anderson discusses DNA, RNA, nucleotides, mitosis, meiosis, diploids, haploids, gametes, gene expression, etc. Create a...

Demonstrate the cell division and phases of meiosis by showing this video clip. An animated cell splits as chromosomes line up and are pulled apart by spindles. Help your young biologists see just how meiosis works.

Explore genetics with Mr. Anderson! In this introduction, he discusses which topics he'll cover in subsequent sections. From DNA to RNA and cell cycle to mitosis and meiosis, Mr. Anderson provides a quick introduction to future videos.

Paul Andersen uses beads to demonstrate mitosis and meiosis. He explains the differences between the two and physically moves the beads around to represent the pulling apart of chromosomes and duplication. Get a clear understanding of...

Question one analyzes metabolic processes such as ATP synthesis and aerobic respiration. The second question is a study of a phytoplankton community, focusing on biosynthesis. The third requires the interpretation of an energy flow...

A handout on genetic inheritance begins with a reading on alleles and how they can result in albinism. Junior geneticists learn to complete Punnett squares and participate in a coin toss simulation of allele pairing. They also learn...

A sufficient slide show on natural selection is available to use with your biology class. It introduces viewers to foundations of this mechanism of evolutionary change. Notes are provided to support your lecture on genetic variation and...

Young scholars listen to a lecture covering the process of going from one cell to two cells. Using the textbook, students differentiate between meiosis I and Meiosis II. Young scholars work in pairs to create one stage using pipe...

After teaching about the process of meiosis, use this presentation to inform your biology buffs of problems that can possibly occur. Gene mutation is mentioned as a review, and then different forms of chromosome mutation are explored:...

Assign these 50 questions to your biology class as a review of cell division. Learners will address the cell cycle, cancer cells, cytokinesis, mitosis, meiosis, gene and chromosomal mutations, and karyotypes. The format is user-friendly,...

Take a critical thinking approach to comparing mitosis and meiosis with an engaging set of questions. Budding biologists describe chromatids and homologous chromosomes, and identify whether different processes occur during mitosis,...

Teenagers take on the human reproductive systems when viewing this presentation. Labeled diagrams of each are displayed, along with one of a fetus in utero. Presented in bullet-point fashion are facts about the formation of sperm and egg...

Donate old socks for science! Young biologists model mitosis and meiosis, using socks as chromosomes and a balloon as a nucleus. This ingenious idea for modeling cell division will be more memorable to your young biologists than any set...

Giving short answers, young biologists review the processes of mitosis and meiosis. They also explain what causes some of the more common genetic disorders. Written as a reading guide, this activity is likely to line up with any biology...

Play Jeopardy as you review what might possibly be an entire year's high school biology course! The vast variety of questions requires that you read through the slides to make sure that they all relate to your curriculum. You could make...

Young scholars study the cell cycle and see the differences between mitosis and meiosis.  In this cell reproduction lesson students complete several activities. 

This complete activity includes short answer and multiple choice questions as well as a Venn diagram for comparing and contrasting mitosis with meiosis. Separate teachers' instructions are supplied. This could be used as homework and is...
