The process of Mitosis is essential in dividing the genetic materials between the daughter cells. In this hands on activity you are going to create a model of one of the phases of mitosis.

Students practice applying their understanding of the compound light microscope to draw a prepared specimen. Students are then asked to use a compound light microscope to create a wet-mount of a letter "e", position letter correctly on the stage of the microscope, students are asked to draw the letter, and determine the total magnification.

Students are then asked to use a compound light microscope to create a wet-mount of a letter "e", position letter correctly on the stage of the microscope, students are asked to draw the letter, and determine the total magnification. Students were also asked to create other wet-mount slides of their own human cells... i.e. hair cells and cheek cells.

You will build a monster using Play-Doh and label all body parts that are present. There must be a minimum of 12 body parts. Be sure to use the correct articles and follow all pluralization rules. The designs are to be creative and clear. All body parts are to be clearly and correctly labeled. Once you have completed designing, you will ensure your name is displayed beside the monster. Your work will be assessed by your peers for accuracy. You will have a max. of 15 min. to create and label your monster. The purpose of the activity is to review and apply relevant vocabulary, so try to pick body parts that you will make referance to more often when you speak French.

Objective: - demonstrate how structural differences may affect the survival rate of members of a species - simulate competition for resources among different species of organisms - evaluate the role of the environment as a selecting agent

Students were asked to toss coins to determine the genotype and phenotype for monster mom and monster dad. Complete punnett squares to predict genotypes and phenotypes the offsprings would have from a cross between the two monsters.
