Description

Models are powerful tools for teaching science as they provide useful simplifications of structures and processes, helping to make the unseen seen and the complex simple.

Students will use the colorful model to gain an understanding of the stages of mitosis, to include chromosome alignment and segregation. They will also learn about the cell cycle as they make two diploid daughter cells. Students can then carry out the stages of meiosis, including independent assortment and crossing over, while creating four haploid daughter cells.

The Model Making Kit includes enough materials for students to assemble up to 5 paper models working cooperatively. The comprehensive Teacher Resource Guide included provides illustrated readings, activities, key vocabulary and an assessment, along with teaching opportunities for students to Engage, Explore, Explain, Extend and Evaluate their understanding of the concepts presented.
