Meiosis or Mitosis

This virtual lab has three components: a short tutorial describing meiosis, a series of microscope slides allowing students to identify stages of meiosis, and a karyotyping activity. The first components support student understanding of mitosis and meiosis, as well as gamete formation. The karyotyping activity is fun and interesting for students, but is not necessary for mastery of NGSS science benchmarks.

Teaching Idea

Mitosis and Meiosis Card Sort:

This minds-on activity is designed to help students review the processes of mitosis and meiosis and to ensure that students understand how chromosomes move during mitosis vs. meiosis. Students arrange the cards from a shuffled deck of the stages of mitosis and meiosis in the sequence of steps that occur during cell division by mitosis and another sequence of steps that occur during cell division by meiosis.
