Activities - Mitosis and Meiosis 

PictureFigure 15A
Mitosis Karaoke 
  • "It's Mitosis Time, C'mon" to the tune of "Celebration" 
  • Lyrics (Slideshow Presentation timed to the music)
  • YouTube link to instrumental version of song

PictureFigure 16A
Onion Cell Lab
  • Photos of onion cells undergoing various phases of mitosis
  • Online simulated lab 
  • Questions to accompany photos / slides 

PictureFigure 17A
Article Analysis
  • Students find an article about various STSE topics around Mitosis and Meiosis (examples: Trisomy 21, cloning research, prenatal screening, designer babies, etc.) 
  • Students analyze the information from the article and are introduced to dissecting an article for information and integrity of information 
  • Students relate information in article to their knowledge of mitosis and meiosis

Sample article - Mitosis, Meiosis, and inheritance

PictureFigure 18A
Mitosis / Meiosis Pictionary
  • Students work in teams
  • Students draw a phase of mitosis or a structure involved in mitosis from a hat 
  • Other students on team must correctly identify the phase or structure to gain a point

PictureFigure 19A
Making Karyotypes
  • Students work in pairs to complete activity 
  • Worksheet questions before activity to draw on students previous knowledge of chromosomes 
  • Students put together a karyotype and follow up with questions (file)
