Mitosis and Meiosis
Students model and differentiate between the processes of mitosis and meiosis. In partners, they use yarn and construction paper to create models for each of the phases of mitosis and meiosis then compare the chromosome numbers in each...
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
Meiosis
Students practice identifying the stages and purpose for meiosis. They use a worksheet to construct each phase, label its parts and describe the process occurring in each phase. they divide the process into meiosis I and meiosis II.
Curated OER
Mitosis
High schoolers explore the four stages of mitosis. They view a prepared slide of an onion root tip undergoing mitosis to identify the stage for each cell in view. They record the number of cells in each stage, graph the results, then...

The Ratio of Surface Area to Volume
Demonstrate the ratio of surface area to volume in your high school class by using phenolphthalein, gelatin, and an onion. Intrigue the class by leading a discussion on osmosis and diffusion, then making "scientific jello." Participants...
Curated OER
Cell Growth and Division
In this biology worksheet, 9th graders label the diagrams with the appropriate phase of mitosis illustrated. Then they explain why skin cell undergo mitosis continuously. Students also explain why mitosis is a form of asexual reproduction.
