Lesson Plan

Name Description
Cell-U-Lar Wars ~ What Will Survive? Binary Fission Versus Mitotic Cell Division

The students will learn that binary fission and mitosis are both methods of cell division used by various organisms. The students will compare and contrast the difference between both methods of cell division, while building background knowledge through cooperative, direct, and fun-filled scientific discovery. This lesson requires students to use multiple reading and learning strategies to increase their comprehension skills.

Tutorial

Name Description
Binary Fission

This tutorial will help the learners understand the process of binary fission in bacteria. During binary fission, the DNA copies itself, the cell divides in half, and two identical daughter cells are produced.
