Cellular Division
Based on current scientific knowledge, all cells come from preexisting cells. Scholars learn about cell division, cell replication, mitosis, meiosis, and more with a PowerPoint. It describes the differences between prokaryotes and...

How Mistakes in Cell Division Can Result in down Syndrome and Miscarriages
Some genetic conditions occur without being inherited. The distinction becomes the focus of the lesson. It details the process of cell division that results in trisomy on various chromosomes. A worksheet highlights the results including...
Curated OER
Meiosis
Using yarn and chenille stems, lab groups collaborate to model mitosis and meiosis. Brief background information and a vaguely written procedure comprise this outline. More instruction needs to be provided to learners about cell division...
Curated OER
Cell Cycle
In this cell cycle worksheet, students fill in the blank with information about the cycle of a cell. Students sketch several drawings of different phases in the cell cycle.
Curated OER
Never Say Die: The CLock of Life
Young scholars explore ways to turn back the genetic clock. They explore cells and mitosis. Students participate in an activity to create a flip book that will animate the process of mitosis. They explain each stage of mitosis.
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
Chromosomes
Young scholars explore genetics, chromosomes and DNA. In this genetics lesson students design a chromosome and identify a family tree through genetics.
Curated OER
Born of Blood: Inheritance of Blood Types
Students examine inheritance of blood types. In the chromosome activity, students create a model of chromosome and predict the blood type of offspring.
Curated OER
Process of Mitosis
Students discover through whole-class role play, the process of mitosis. They will all become a chromosome and demonstrate how they line up 23 to 23.
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
Meiosis and Sexual Reproduction
Eighth graders are able to define meiosis. They are able to compare and contrast meiosis and mitosis. Students are able to state the phases of meiosis. They complete a K-W-L chart on meiosis and mitosis. Students talk about meiosis...
Curated OER
Continuing Life
For this reproduction worksheet, students will review the genetic processes in sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction by answering 6 true or false statements. Then students will complete 2 short answer questions about the offspring...
