Mitosis & Cell Cycle Model Making Kit

Engage your students in learning about cell division by mitosis and the cell cycle with this interactive model!

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. 

Introduce your students to the cell cycle and how it is divided into different stages, including mitosis. Your students begin by making models of cells and chromosomes, they then learn about what happens during mitosis and the cell cycle.

First, they look at growth of subcellular structures and replication of DNA during interphase. Next, they learn the steps of mitosis including cell nucleus break down, line up of chromosomes on cell fibers, chromosome separation and nucleus reformation and cytokinesis.

The Model Making Kit includes enough materials for students to assemble 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.
