Cell Cycle Simulation

The students worked today on cell cycle simulations using pipe cleaners and background pages.
Using their laptops and Photobooth they were able to take snap shots and import them to a Pages document.

Here are some photos from today's work.

Cell Cycle Online Webquest

Access the webquest by clicking on this link.

You will need to download this as it is a Pages Document.

Cell Division- Mitosis

Here is a great image of mitosis.  This is much like our text book but do not worry about the "Prometaphase."

Mitosis is the process of cell division for eukaryotic cells found in multicellular organisms.  All cells come from existing cells and mitosis is how most cells divide. The only eukaryotic cells which do not divide by mitosis are sex cells a.k.a. gametes a.k.a sperm and egg cells. 

Here are some videos that introduce cell division- mitosis.




Here is a video that links cell division -mitosis and cancer.
