Lesson Title: Cell Mitosis
Introduction: This lesson is to continue in the discussion of animal cells and how cell division occurs in a cell and DNA is transferred from one cell to the next. The basic structure of an animal cell will have already been mastered.
Content Area: Cell Biology for 6th grade students
Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, students will be able to:
· define mitosis and why it is important in the body.
· identify the names and functions of the parts of a cell involved in mitosis.
· identify the mitosis phases and what happens in each phase.
· produce a physical model of one of the phases of mitosis, and explain its function to another student.
Standards Addressed:
Science:
6.S.3.3.3 Describe how traits are passed from parents to offspring. (621.01.c)
Technology:
6-8. ICT.1.1.2 Create original works as a means of personal or group expression using student selected resources.
Relative Advantage: Relative Advantage of using media in this lesson is so that students can actually see the process of Mitosis occurring in a cell. We can draw pictures all day long, but to see it happen under a microscope is a whole new experience.
Timeline: This lesson should take 60 minutes to teach and assess as part of the genetics unit.
Materials:
Computer with projector or interactive whiteboard
Access to 4-5 computers to utilize for
Supplies for students to create a model of one of the phases of mitosis
Student textbook
Individual Science Notebook

Grouping Strategies:
Students will work in their table groups (of four) for instruction. They will then have the opportunity to work with one partner to create a model of one of the phases of mitosis.

Learning Activities:
1. Teacher shows the introduction video entitled "Cell Mitosis"
2. Hand out the worksheet "How Cells Divide: Mitosis"
3. Open the link and launch click "Launch Interactive." Focus only on the left side of the slides. When the activity completes each phase in mitosis, review what student's pictures on their worksheets should look like.
4. As the activity utilizing NOVA finishes, ask students questions about the slides. For example,
5. Students may compare their work with other students.
6. Re-watch the introduction video to reinforce the concepts discussed.
7. Watch video "Mitosis in Real-Time."
8. Give students a Rubric for their cell models (found below) and Quizlet website so they can know what to do while at the centers.
9. Send students to centers: 1) color your phases of mitosis, 2) create a model of each phase of mitosis using the materials provided, 3) play games on neok12 website, 4) do Quizlet flashcards and other games online.

4. As the activity utilizing NOVA finishes, ask students questions about the slides. For example,
- In which phase do the chromosomes replicate?
- What happens during Cytokinesis?
- What is the period between cell divisions?
- What is a centriole?

Adaptations:
Adaptations will be made for students on an individual basis based on their IEP or 504 requirements. The minimum accommodation will be to reduce the rubric points to read, of points possible per column, 7, 6, 5 instead of (7, 5, 3). Some students may only have to make models of 2 phases of the process. Some students may be allowed to use media tools instead of physical items to create their models.
