Cell Cycle, Mitosis and Meiosis
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.
Khan Academy
Mitosis, Cells, MCAT
The lecturer starts by emphasizing that the mitotic process is a separate mechanism from cytokinesis—the cytoplasm splitting to become two cells. The video continues by explaining the stages of mitosis in great detail. Each stage is...

Mitosis
Watch as an animated cell goes through the process of mitosis as DNA coils and bunches into chromosomes. Once the nuclear membranes dissolve, spindles pull chromatids to opposite sides and stretch the cell. The video ends as mitosis...

Animation of Meiosis
Demonstrate the cell division and phases of meiosis by showing this video clip. An animated cell splits as chromosomes line up and are pulled apart by spindles. Help your young biologists see just how meiosis works.

Mitosis and Meiosis Simulation
Paul Andersen uses beads to demonstrate mitosis and meiosis. He explains the differences between the two and physically moves the beads around to represent the pulling apart of chromosomes and duplication. Get a clear understanding of...

Mitosis in Real Time
Watch as cells split beneath a microscope. This nineteen-second clip does not have narration or music, but it gives a fascinating look at mitosis. Use this in a high school biology class to demonstrate what mitosis really looks like.

Mitosis Demonstration
Models of chromosomes are moved around on a table as a teacher describes mitosis in its separate phases. If you need a demonstration for your biology class, you can use this video.

Cell Division on Contrast Microscope
This quick clip of a lung cell splitting under a microscope is rapidly discussed as it is shown. Microscopic imaging lends us a thrilling close-up of the mitotic process as it is explained. Show this clip to an advanced biology class.

Biology Lab - Mitosis and Meiosis
Paul Anderson gives an explanation of how to conduct a biology lab to see mitosis and meiosis. This clip is directed at teachers and shows how to use an onion root and the fungus sordaria to count up the phases and draw a cell cycle pie...
