Download Students will construct the 6 phases of mitosis using construction

Students will construct the 6 phases of mitosis using construction paper, yarn, glue, measuring
quip. They will produce plant and animal cells in these phases.
Class: 7th Grade Life Science
Instructor: Mr. J. Goeller
Subject Area: Cell Division (Mitosis)
Curriculum Objective: The students will create the 6 phases of mitosis, using chromosomes to
highlight the cells.
Technology Objective: Use of constructive techniques to build cells.
Content Standard Alignment: 3.5 4.6
Process Alignment: 3.5 4.6
Sub Skills:
Learner Activity: With hands-on activity using construction paper and pieces of yarn, the students will
re-create the process of cell division.
Assessment Activity: Instructor will look at the finished product: look for accuracy, neatness, and
completion of activity.
Method of Assessment: Hands-on instruction
Written test
Instructional Method: Following activity instruction, the students will be placed in pairs (small
groups). They will gather their materials and follow instructions.
-construction paper will be used to make the cells.
-each cell will be a predetermined size.
-students will measure and cut out parts of cells.
-they will measure and cut the yarn into pieces of chromosomes.
-these chromosomes will be placed in the correct areas of the cells to show
cell division.
-anchored by glue.
-completion of all 6 phases of mitosis.
