Cell Cycle Teacher Resources

Aren't mitosis and meiosis the same thing? A helpful flow chart demonstrates the difference between mitosis and meiosis on Paul Andersen's Smart Board. Time lapse videos include show mitosis and cytokinesis.

How does cancer begin, and why can it get so out of control? Curious young cytologists use an interactive resource to study the cell cycle. After reviewing the background information, individuals go step-by-step through the process of...

The video Introduce class members to the cell cycle and chromosomes with a video that explains the difference between diploid and haploid chromosomes.

Eukaryotic cells go through a cycle of creation, reproduction, and death. The video choreographs the cell cycle to music from a popular movie. This prepares scholars to answer the questions in the online interactive.

What a packed lesson! Provide your class with the opportunity to learn about the cell cycle in several exciting ways. Biologists first learn about the theory behind mitosis, then proceed to view onion tips under the microscope and create...

This mitosis instructional activity targets AP-level biology courses. Learners identify the roles of kinase, cyclin, and CDKs, as well as describing external signals for growth. Large and colorful diagrams are displayed within the...

If a cell is unable to regulate the cell cycle, wild cell growth may occur, leading to cancer. Learners explore the cell cycle, using mitosis and meiosis to create new cells. Learners walk, simply, through each phase of the cell cycle:...

Deepen understanding of cell division with this resource. Young scientists read short paragraphs about the different stages of the cell cycle and use this information to answer a series of basic short answer questions and label several...

Do you know why chemotherapy causes hair loss? A video explains the mitosis portion of the cell cycle and focuses on why we should care. The lesson explains what a cancer is as well as its current and potential future treatments.

Students explain how cells reproduce. In this biology lesson, students explain the different stages of the cell cycle. They calculate the number of new cells produced.

Pupils determine the approximate time a cell spends in each phase of mitosis by counting cells in each phase from a prepared slide. They use a few simple calculations to estimate how long cells spend in each cycle in the body.

Uncomplicated and useful, this PowerPoint introduces viewers to the five stages of mitosis. For each stage, there is a slide that lists the main occurrences. Show this as a note-taking guide when you lecture on mitosis to keep your young...

In this biology worksheet students map out and describe the process of mitosis for the nine questions. The last four questions are several combined in each.

Identify the different stages of mitosis and what occurs in each stage with a straightforward biology lesson. Young scientists identify the importance of the cell cycle control in maintaining homeostasis, and then match the correct...

Seventh graders describe the processes involved in mitosis and meiosis. In this life science lesson plan, 7th graders create chromosome models using strings and beads. They play a jeopardy team game at the end of the unit to review...

Students examine the cell cycle and how its duration can vary.  In this cells instructional activity students complete a worksheet and answer questions. 

In this cell cycle worksheet, students fill in the blank with information about the cycle of a cell. Students sketch several drawings of different phases in the cell cycle.

In this cell cycle worksheet, 7th graders study the various images of the cell cycle. Students then label each picture with the correct cycle. Students then answer several questions about the cell cycle.

With a multitude of questions, this worksheet offers students the opportunity to review their knowledge about the cell cycle. Question types include true/false, word bank, and completing a table about the differences between interphase...

In this biology word search activity, students search for 24 words related to the cell cycle and meiosis. They check off the words in a word bank that is located at the bottom of the page.

Cycles exist throughout nature, and the cell cycle compares to a life cycle of any other living being. A worksheet and presentation discuss the concepts of cell reproduction through the cell cycle. They cover each phase individually and...

Be careful when discussing mitosis, it's a divisive issue. The video explains the mitosis and cytokinesis portions of the cell cycle. It discusses the prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase in detail.

In this biology worksheet, learners label 9 diagrams with the correct names. They also write short answers to 6 questions that follow.
