Use monitoring for meaning to make sense of this reading. By the end you should understand the following:

The purpose of mitosis
What happens in the cell during each phase

MItosis and Meiosis Identification Lab (Must-do)

Virtual Mitosis & Meiosis Microscope Lab

Use the lab to practice identifying cells going through mitosis and meiosis in real life.

Make sure your read through the whole lab. There information and steps you will need to follow to help you gather the schema needed to complete this lab accurately.

If you are doing this lab virtually, you will need to access the slides linked on the document to the left for the pictures of cells going through various stages of PMAT for meiosis and mitosis.

Use the Quizziz to REview Mitosis and Meiosis Vocabulary. You must score at least an 80% for this activity to count as a Should-Do

What you need to submit on a google doc for this assignment!

Using your skills in monitoring for meaning, identify which terms you understand well and which terms are the most difficult to understand right now.
Create a way to help you better understand the terms you are struggling with most. This could be a list of definitions, creating flash cards, a list of terms with matching pictures, create a kahoot that will help you practice, etc. Submit a picture, link, or document of how you decided to make meaning of these terms.

Amoeba Sisters- Meiosis (should do)

Meiosis Worksheet Amoeba Sisters.pdf

Mitosis & Meiosis Assortment Lab (aSpire to do)

Meiosis Pipecleaners Lab

Perform the lab to practice and better understand the steps of mitosis, meiosis I and meiosis II.

You will need minimal supplies for this, but will need to take pictures as directed by the lab as evidence of doing the lab.

Stop! Before you take the assessment...

Lesson 3.2- Self Check:

Do you understand-
