Chromosome Shuffle

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 activity. 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...

Watch as an animated cell goes through the process of mitosis as DNA coils and bunches into chromosomes. Once the nuclear membranes dissolve, spindles pull chromatids to opposite sides and stretch the cell. The video ends as mitosis...

Aren't mitosis and meiosis the same thing? A helpful flow chart demonstrates the difference between mitosis and meiosis on Paul Andersen's Smart Board. Time lapse videos include show mitosis and cytokinesis.

Brief text summary of what students learn in the Mitosis, Meiosis and Fertilization lab, along with links to download Student Handouts in PDF and Word formats, and Teacher Preparation Notes in PDF format. The lab is a hands-on lesson...

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.

Reward biology learners for working hard in their mitosis lesson with a sweet snack at the end! They begin by twisting apart creme-filled cookies and using the icing as a cytoplasm. Colored candy sprinkles make up chromosome pairs, which...

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...

An overview of sexual reproduction and how mitosis and meiosis occur to form a particular species. [18:23]

Why don't you look exactly like your brother or sister? Meiosis involves the reducing of genetic material and chromosome shuffling which results in different genetic combinations. In this activity, students will view a computer model of...
