Cell Cycle and Mitosis Project

Students will be working on their projects in class today. Below are the project guidelines.

Project Check List & Rubric

This project is worth 50 points. You will be creating a visual that represents the cell cycle and mitosis. This visual can be anything from a flip book to a PowerPoint to a poster or collage or 3D model. Make sure that your presentation includes all the following information.

A. INTERPHASE - THE TIME OF THE CELL CYCLE BETWEEN CELL DIVISIONS. (G1, S, G2) DRAW/MAKE A MODEL AND LABEL ONLY ONE PICTURE BUT DEFINE ALL THE PHASES. (You don’t need to have separate pictures for G1, S and G2). 10 points.

B. MITOSIS (M PHASE) - A FOUR STAGE PROCESS WHICH THE NUCLEUS OF THE CELL DIVIDES INTO TWO NEW NUCLEI WITH IDENTICAL GENETIC MATERIAL. DRAW AND LABEL ALL FOUR STAGES, DEFINE MITOSIS AND DESCRIBE EACH PHASE. 25 points.

C. CYTOKINESIS - THE CYTOPLASM AND ORGANELLES OF THE PARENT CELL DIVIDES IN TWO NEW CELLS CALLED DAUGHTER CELLS. DRAW AND LABEL ONE PICTURE AND DEFINE AND DESCRIBE CYTOKINESIS. BE CAREFUL! Plant and animal cells undergo cytokinesis differently. 5 points.

Creativity = 5 points No spelling or grammar errors = 5 points
