Meiosis Cell Division - PowerPoint, Notes, Class Survey and Project
- Zip
Description
Ensure your students understand the difference between meiosis and mitosis with this 1-day mini-bundle that covers meiosis cell division and the creation of haploid and diploid cells. In this lesson, students will take brief notes about egg and sperm production, calculate the number of chromosomes in somatic cells and sex cells, and complete a class survey of shared traits. Students summarize this meiosis lesson by creating a baby as they flip coins to determine the traits of their offspring.
This is a great introductory lesson into meiosis and could easily lead into a more in-depth discussion about chiasma and crossing over, sex-linked traits, and acquired versus inherited traits.
