DRA 2.3

 

Topic

The Cell Cycle (Mitosis)

 

New Homework

p45 1-4

 

NJCCCS

5.5.A 1-2

Explain how cells produce more cells

  List the times cell undergo mitosis

 

Method

Review HW, Finish Notes , Onion Root Lab/laptop Interactives

(We started these notes last week.) 

Materials or Links

microscopes, laptops, powerpoint and projector, Mitosis Drag, Cell Exchange (transport)

 If you want to do these interactive (Smartboard) activities:

Click here and then look for the "Notebook Viewer"

After you get the viewer, download the activity and drag it into the viewer.

**There seems to be a problem with the "Cell Exchange" Interactive.  It's made with a newer version than the viewer.  If you still really want to try it, you'll need to download Notebook 10, which takes a little longer and asks for information like name and address.  Ask a parent before you try it.

Assessment:

 

successful completion of lab questions

 

Barriers to Instruction

Students might not realize that the cell cycle is taking place hundreds of trillions of times in our body, all of the time

 

Universal Adaptations

material is written (notes), kinesthetic (dragging), and visual (microscopes).  The microscopes and laptops are in small partner groups for a greater cooperative experience.
