Mito-what? Looking at cells reproduce using mitosis

E Long and B Blocks
Admit Slip: How do cells reproduce?

Objective: Students will use actual animal cells undergoing mitosis to see how a eukaryotic cell reproduces.

Students will examine animal cells undergoing mitosis. These will strictly be primary observations. They will not be given any information on the stages or the order that they occur in, except the names of the stages which will be on the microscopes. Students will need to draw what they see and write the name of the stage on the handout.
