Phases of Mitosis - Mastery Review Graphic Organizer

This is a review graphic organizer that I made as a companion to Sneakerdog's Phases of Mitosis Worksheet (http://cavalierscience.blogspot.com/2009/04/phases-of-mitosis-activity-worksheet.html). Students use the Phases of Mitosis Worksheet to cut out the phases, sequence them correctly, and make a poster. The following graphic organizer can be used for students to summarize what they have learned about mitosis.

Here is a summary video by the Amoeba Sisters:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-ldPgEfAHI  They also have a website with teaching materials http://www.amoebasisters.com/ a twitter following @amoebasisters and a facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/AmoebaSisters

Phases of Mitosis Activity Worksheet

This activity is a worksheet where students cut out the phases of mitosis, sequence them correctly, and then create a poster that illustrates mitosis. I designed this worksheet as a companion teaching aid to this textbook:
McGraw-Hill, Glencoe, Biology: The Dynamics of Life. 2002 and also this website:
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/miracle/divide.html
I was also designing an activity that was a little bit different, so that when students learn about mitosis in subsequent years, students would not end up repeating an activity that they had already done. The worksheet, a teacher's guide, and a completed sample are below:
I've got my mind on mitosis and mitosis on my mind.


Students seem to enjoy this activity.  Here is a link for the worksheet: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ihYzWw4g2FR8xgDzRHcgk0WBg7b1g6B5/view?usp=sharing        Here is a link to the worksheet's teacher guide:  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Vjvlt48nMO6bYWFrYhH2nvLjubWh7RXt/view?usp=sharing I have students arrange their cells in sequence and check their cells, before students glue the illustrations on a colored piece of 11 x 17 paper. This also allows for a "talk through" of the phases. I also check to make sure students have labeled the structures listed on the worksheet. Make extra copies because there are those who make mistakes, or lose the top part that has the directions. This activity works well for students who may not have the manual dexterity to draw out the phases. There is also a graphic organizer that can be used with this activity: http://cavalierscience.blogspot.com/2009/04/phases-of-mitosis-mastery-review.html

Here is a link to a worksheet that assists in comparing mitosis and meiosis:
