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 learners line up on the icing to model where they appear in each phase. A simple but engaging activity is sure to make an impression when studying mitosis.
