Cells and Genetics
Cells and Genetics—Cell Models, continued
Animal Cell Model Kit
Colorful teaching model designed specifically to withstand student hands-on use. This model is made of resilient, non-toxic, damage-proof EVA foam that will withstand years of active investigation. A detailed instructor’s guide includes five inquiry-based lab activities, reproduc- ible worksheets, complete background information, cross-curriculum extension activities, assessment ideas and more. Topics covered include cell structure and function, osmosis, eukaryotes and bacteria.
Cells and Genetics—Mitosis and Meiosis
Mitosis Study—Student Laboratory Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
It’s easy for students to learn mitosis when studying
the large, individual mitotic drawings included in this kit. Students will match key process descriptions with specific mitotic drawings. Once matched, the drawings and descriptions can be arranged in their appro- priate order to visualize the cell cycle. Work with the drawings can be done before or after students make their own slides from actively grow- ing onion root tips. Students will grow their own root tips and follow a staining technique to find stages matching those in their set of mitosis drawings. After the hands-on laboratory work, students will have a better understanding of the dynamic process of mitosis.
Complete for 30 students working individually and includes copy masters of the mitosis drawings so that every student can have his or her own set of drawings.
Magnetic Mitosis—Demonstration Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
Cell division takes center stage! Show cell division
on a grand scale by manipulating large magnetic models. Demonstrate chromosome activity in each mitotic phase. Interactive model physi- cally shows how chromosomes move and separate to form two daughter cells. Students form a long-lasting connection of mitosis as a living process instead of a series of steps to be memorized. Includes a magnetic chromosome sheet of three reusable chromosome magnets, an overhead color transparency picturing cells in the various stages of mitosis, teaching tips, and a reproducible student worksheet. Concepts: Cell cycle, mitosis, cytokinesis.
Time Required: 30 minutes
Materials Provided: Magnetic chromosomes, mitosis overhead transparency.
DNA Staining—Student Laboratory Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
Students grow their own onion root tips and then
follow a specific staining procedure that will allow them to see the DNA in the root tip cells. Students harvest root tips, treat them with chemicals, macerate the tissue, stain the tissue, and then prepare their own microscope slides. Microscopic examination of their prepared slides will reveal the DNA and mitotic patterns in the meristematic cells. The straightforward, classic squash-and-stain procedure utilized in this activity will help the abstract notion of DNA become a reality.
Complete for 30 students working individually. Onion bulbs are required and available separately.
