Opening Question Bank for Meiosis-
Give students 5 minutes to dig
up answers
Note- I have best results using about 4 or five questions per day. Mainly, they should
be given the day after they are explained in the lesson and until they are understood.
If they don’t “get it”, this is a good time to go over what they missed. Repeat
questions students don’t understand the next day.
