This hands-on approach has truly transformed the way students engage with and understand this fundamental biological process.\r\n\r\nBy manipulating physical models, students have moved beyond abstract textbook concepts to a concrete, visual understanding of mitosis and meiosis. This active learning experience has significantly increased their engagement and curiosity, making complex stages like chromosome alignment and separation much clearer.\r\n\r\nMoreover, the use of these models has catered to diverse learning styles, allowing students to explore and retain information more effectively. I have witnessed firsthand how this method encourages collaboration, critical thinking, and scientific inquiry among learners.\r\n\r\nThank you for supporting such innovative teaching tools that make science accessible and exciting. The impact on student learning and enthusiasm is genuinely inspiring.","fullyFundedDate":1698153817852,"projectUrl":"project/learn-cell-division-with-tangible-models/7940134/","projectTitle":"Learn Cell Division With Tangible Models","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Pepito","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9327175_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1697059652376","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9327175"},{"teacherId":9337592,"projectId":8887805,"letterContent":"Your generosity has allowed us to utilize equipment sorely needed for our classes.
