Khan Academy: Phases of the Cell Cycle

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...

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.

Article takes a look at how cancer develops and what's wrong with cancer cells. Also, delves into how abnormal forms of cell cycle regulators can contribute to cancer.

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:...

Explain the two-step process of photosynthesis to your high school biologists with a focus on the Calvin cycle. Using adorable animation, a video likens the cycle to a tiny, sustainable factory. Even though the enzyme-bird rubisco...

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.

Expose your class to the steps of the nitrogen cycle with this short clip. Colorful computer imagery and animation explain how nitrogen travels from the atmosphere as a gas into plants and soil, where bacteria convert it into nitrates....

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

The sun can tell us what time it is with a sun dial, but can the moon do the same? Scholars play with a simulation of the phases of the moon. They control the type of moon and time of day in order to see when the sun is up and when the...

How do we go from cell to a multicellular organism? This video will explore the components of the extracellular matrix that connect to the inside of the cell. [6:54]
