Cell Division: The Cell Cycle and Mitosis
Young scholars will be able to identify the different stages of the eukaryotic cell cycle as well as the different stages of mitosis in the proper order. Students will also be able to recognize what organelles of the cell are integral to...
Curated OER
Science Reproduction
Young scholars discuss the different stages of mitosis. For this biology lesson, students work in pairs as they draw and diagram the stages of cell division. They discuss reproduction using pro, meta, ana and telophase.

MITOSIS
Tenth graders examine the process of mitosis on a laser disc. They examine mitosis in an onion utilizing the microscope.
Curated OER
Cell Repair and Cell Cycle
Seventh graders explore the cell cycle. They view pictures of different stages of mitosis and explain why cells reproduce. They identify the five phases of mitosis: interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Curated OER
Designer Genes
Students view a video on DNA. They discuss mitosis, meiosis and fertilization. They use strips of paper to simulate fertilization and analyze the genotype and phenotype of the combined chromosomes.
