Hands-on Activities to Teach Mitosis and Meiosis
A simplified look at cell division and the cell cycle - perfect for the middle school classroom! In these interactive lessons, students will engage in several hands-on activities to help them conceptualize the very basics of mitosis and meiosis. The focus of both lessons is on giving students a firm understanding of the outcome of each process. These lessons are aligned with middle school NGSS standards and will give students the foundation necessary for understanding genetics in later lessons.
