How Do Organisms Reproduce

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...

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...

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...

Why do siblings often look so different from one another? Discover the process of making gametes using a short video from a large biology playlist. The narrator explains each step while animated chromatids play out the scenario that...

What did one cell say to his sister when she stepped on his toe? Mitosis! The video details the process of using division to multiply that is better known as mitosis. It includes the four steps of mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase,...

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...

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.

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...

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.

Life science learners view an online animated mini textbook comparing two types of cell division. Working in groups, they use a digital microscope to capture images of cells in different stages of mitosis and meiosis. Then they create an...
