What educators are saying

My students were struggling with the differences between mitosis and meiosis. Having a hands on activity really helped them understand.
Had intended to do the hands-on bead version, but had to be absent. Was easy for students to still complete and do the digital version instead.

Description

This modeling activity is a Mitosis and Meiosis Lab Simulation. Students will model the stages of mitosis and meiosis using either the hands-on pop bead version or the digital Google Slides "drag and drop" version. Both versions are included in this resource.

Suitable for Biology or Life Science Students in Grades 9-12

In the hands-on pop bead version, students will use chromosome simulation (pop bead) kits to assemble and manipulate chromosomes during both types of cell division. The student handout is 10 pages long. It contains instructions, guided hints to the next step, fill in the blank questions, and spaces to draw each stage of mitosis or meiosis. This version is accompanied by a 3-page teacher guide and 12-page answer key.

Don't have the money to purchase expensive Chromosome Simulation Kits? No worries! In the digital Google Slides version, students will be building chromosomes out of various shapes using a "drag and drop" method. Students will manipulate and move the chromosomes to show the events of each stage of mitosis and meiosis. This version is accompanied by a 3-page teacher guide and 20-page answer key.

Materials required for the hands-on Pop Bead Version:

  • Chromosome Simulation (Pop Bead) Kit that contains beads and magnets. (Ordering instructions included in teacher guide.)
  • 2 Large sheets of white paper (paper book cover or butcher paper) per group
  • One pencil
  • One red pen or red colored pencil
  • Student lab handouts

Materials Needed for Digital Version:

  • Student laptops or similar device
  • Access to Google Slides

What will the students be doing?

Students will first work through the process of mitosis. The students will build the chromosomes and manipulate them through each phase. Students will answer questions and draw their work as they go. Students will do the same for the process of meiosis. At the end of the activity, students will compare and contrast the two types of cell division.

Comprehensive and detailed teacher guide is included. It contains instructions and tips for the successful completion of the lab. Photographs of the pop beads for each stage are included as well as answers to all questions.

I have found that students have a far greater understanding of the similarities and differences between mitosis and meiosis after we complete this activity.
