Ouch! You Stepped on Mitosis

Help me give my students mitosis and meiosis microscope slides because it would be helpful to actually view and see cells going through the process of mitosis and meiosis.

My Students

I am a biology teacher. My students have experienced many difficulties with online learning due to the impacts of COVID-19. With the increasing number of teachers, staff, parents, and students getting ill, many lessons are online/digital. Students are struggling with engaging and interacting with their peers and their teachers.

My Project

When most people think of biology, they usually remember mitosis and meiosis. It is the epitome of life. My students will use these microscope slides to view cells in different stages of mitosis and meiosis. We currently only draw and diagram models of mitosis and meiosis. However, microscopes are the most important tool towards understanding these processes.

Students get really excited and love using the microscopes in class.

By getting students excited about a topic that includes hands on learning, they will be having engaging conversations with their peers. Students even love to take pictures of the things they view under the microscope.
