Curated OER
GED Vocabulary: Life Science
In this GED life science worksheet, students complete a crossword puzzle given 8 clues about cell division, genetics, and the human body systems.
Curated OER
Cell Division and Mitosis
Students identify each phase of mitosis and the main characteristics of each. Students prepare a microscope slide with onion root tip. Students observe the cell division occurring in the cells and label the mitosis phases observed.
Curated OER
The Cell in Action
In this cell worksheet, students are given five riddles to solve related to the concepts in the chapter on chromosomes and cell division.
Curated OER
Cell Cycle
In this cell cycle instructional activity, students fill in the blank with information about the cycle of a cell. Students sketch several drawings of different phases in the cell cycle.

How Things Go Wrong
Students identify where mutations might occur and examine what effect those mutations will have through class discussion of DNA replication and cell division. Students then differentiate between mutations that affect individuals and...
Curated OER
Reproduction and Heredity
Eighth graders study the importance of cell division, compare cell division in prokaryotic and eucaryotic cells, identify the stages of mitosis and recognize meiosis in reproductive cells.
Curated OER
Who Are We? An Introduction to the Life Within Our Bodies
Students examine cell structure, cell division, and the basic structure of DNA. They read and discuss a case study of DNA research, answer discussion questions, role-play the process of mitosis, and complete a DNA Fact or Fiction worksheet.
Curated OER
Mitosis
Seventh graders describe the stages of mitosis. In this biology lesson, 7th graders explain the importance of cell division. They complete an activity packet at the end of the lesson.
Curated OER
Mitosis and Meiosis
Pupils model and differentiate between the processes of mitosis and meiosis. In partners, they use yarn and construction paper to create models for each of the phases of mitosis and meiosis then compare the chromosome numbers in each...
Curated OER
Meiosis
Students practice identifying the stages and purpose for meiosis. They use a worksheet to construct each phase, label its parts and describe the process occurring in each phase. they divide the process into meiosis I and meiosis II.
Curated OER
Mitosis
Students explore the four stages of mitosis. They view a prepared slide of an onion root tip undergoing mitosis to identify the stage for each cell in view. They record the number of cells in each stage, graph the results, then calcualte...
