2/22 & 2/23

Onion cells (400x) showing different stages of the cell cycle.

Today, we completed the mitosis lecture notes packet from last class.  Students then worked through a series of practice activities.
Students used model kits to describe to the teacher the 6 steps of Mitosis. We then did an online Mitosis tutorial. And _then_ we used microscopes to view the 6 stages of Mitosis in onion cells.

The lecture notes and worksheet were posted for the last class. Please use those links if you need to see the power point.

Here is the website we used for the online activities, the worksheet link is below:  http://www.biology.arizona.edu/cell_bio/activities/cell_cycle/cell_cycle.html
