Lesson 2: 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...

What a packed instructional activity! 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...

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...

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

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.

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...

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:...

Learn how cells use checkpoints to regulate the cell cycle. This article provides an overview of cell cycle control, outlining the factors that influence a cell's decision to pause or progress at each checkpoint.

Article explores the life cycle of a cell and delves into the phases of the cell cycle.
