Meiosis Model Making Kit

Your students will enjoy learning about cell division by meiosis and its role in producing gametes with this interactive model!

Perfect for use in class or for distance learning at home!

Models are powerful tools for teaching science as they provide useful simplifications of structures and processes, helping to make the unseen seen and the complex simple. 

The model shows how gametes are produced by meiosis and how they end up with half the number of chromosomes in a haploid cell. Your students first make their models of cells and chromosomes, then they learn about what happens during meiosis  by working through the stages of the two cell divisions of meiosis.

The model covers the following: DNA replication, how chromosomes line up on cell fibers, independent assortment, chromosome separation and cell division.

The Model Making Kit includes enough materials for students to assemble up an individual paper model. The comprehensive Teacher Resource Guide included provides illustrated readings, activities, key vocabulary and an assessment, along with teaching opportunities for students to Engage, Explore, Explain, Extend and Evaluate their understanding of the concepts presented.
