Type: Activity, Model
Topic: Mitosis, Meiosis
Grade Level: High School
Contributor: Diane Lashinsky
School: Shorecrest High School, Shoreline School District, Shoreline, WA
Purpose: To help students understand mitosis/meiosis.
Materials: Paper; stapler; markers, pencils, or other drawing instruments.
Methods: Students draw each of the phases of mitosis (or meiosis) on small, separate pieces of paper. Chromosomes, spindles, and centromeres can be drawn with different colors. The papers are stapled together in correct order. Students can then rapidly "flip" through their booklets to see mitosis (meiosis) in action.
