I hope everyone had a great break and managed to get some rest. We are starting a new, two week, unit on The Cell Cycle, Mitosis and Cancer.
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.

HW: Honors Read sections 8.1 and 8.3 in the text book. Cut up drawings of stages and put them in the correct order on a sheet of paper. Label the nuclear envelope, chromatin, chromosomes, centromeres and centrioles (where appropriate the in the diagrams).
HW: General read section 20.1 (pages 397-the top of 401) in the text book. Cut up drawings of stages and put them in the correct order on a sheet of paper. Label the nuclear envelope, chromatin, chromosomes, centromeres and centrioles (where appropriate the in the diagrams).
