CLW Presentation

 

Below is a link to a full presentation meant as a brief overview on the phases of mitosis and meiosis as well as some activities and online tools which are not included in this section of the website can be found. Simply click the link below to follow to a Padlet containing this presentation.

 

 

 

Cells Alive!

 

This is an interactive web tool where students follow the stages of mitosis along side an interactive animation. The animation is time lapsed and allows the user to stop, start, and rewind the division process to see each stage in detail. A microscope image is included with each phase.

 

 

 

Difference between Telophase & Cytokinesis

 

This is a very brief and informative video outlining the main differences between telophase and cytokinesis. Visuals consist of both factual images and asthetic. It is great to quickly address this misconception.

 

 

 

 

Online Onion Root Tip Lab

 

The following link will lead to an online descriptive lab regarding viewing the different stages of mitosis through an onion root tip cell. This resource is ideal for classrooms that may not have access to microscope equipment. All microscope slides are included on this web resource along with detailed, student friendly explanations. It is rather lengthy, but informative none the less especially since it provides another means for doing this visual lab.

 

 

 

Meiosis Made Easy

 

This video includes a short animated video that outlines (in detail) the stages of meiosis. This is a useful resource in terms of adding another level of visual connection for these stages. The information is presented in a friendly matter while the animations are clean and do not take away from the content.

 

 

 

Comparison Animation

 

This link leads to an animated video that compares the stages of mitosis to meiosis. It is followed by a short quiz to ensure understanding.

 

 

 

Cell Cycle Game

 

This online interactive game sees the user identifying ‘next phases’ in the cell cycle based off of given scenarios. It consists of fun, friendly animations as well as student friendly explanations for each phase of the cell cycle (whether they get the answer right or wrong).
