Understanding Cell Division
Students collect and describe cells from an onion root tip which are undergoing the stages of cell division. They use a ProScope USB microscope to identify and compare cells in five phases of mitosis.

Mitosis
Seventh graders explore the process of cell division. Students observe an animation of cell division. They draw the phases of mitoses. Students describe the phases of cell division and explain the events that occur during mitosis.

Mitosis and Cancer - Biology Teaching Thesis
Observe onion root cells undergoing mitosis underneath a light microscope and determine the phase of mitosis the cells are in. High schoolers draw a sketch of the mitotic cells, explore why cells undergo mitosis and learn how...

Cell Division and Mitosis
High schoolers identify each phase of mitosis and the main characteristics of each. Students prepare a microscope slide with onion root tip. High schoolers observe the cell division occurring in the cells and label the mitosis phases...

Mitosis and Cell Division
Young scholars discover the processes that occur during mitosis and what makes each phase different and distinct from the others as well as how each contribute to the overall process of mitosis by looking at onion root tips under a...

Mitosis And the Cell Cycle
Students 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.

Cell Cycle Portfolio
Students work together in groups to complete various stations on the cycles of cells. Individually, they keep their completed work in a folder after following specific instructions on how to complete each experiment. They use the...

Cell Division: The Cell Cycle and Mitosis
Students will be able to identify the different stages of the eukaryotic cell cycle as well as the different stages of mitosis in the proper order. Students will also be able to recognize what organelles of the cell are integral to...

Mitosis
High schoolers explore the four stages of mitosis. They view a prepared slide of an onion root tip undergoing mitosis to identify the stage for each cell in view. They record the number of cells in each stage, graph the results, then...

Of Tides and Time
Students use the internet to research how the time of day affects the tides. They work together to develop a demonstration of the tide patterns for a month. They create a chart showing the relationship between tides and the phases of...

MITOSIS
Tenth graders examine the process of mitosis on a laser disc. They examine mitosis in an onion utilizing the microscope.

Discovering Mitosis in Onion Roots
Students discover the different stages of mitosis by examining onion roots under a microscope, drawing diagrams of what they see, and organizing collected data in a chart and create a pie graph from their lab data.

Process of Mitosis
Students discover through whole-class role play, the process of mitosis. They will all become a chromosome and demonstrate how they line up 23 to 23.
