Students observed stages of Mitosis in Onion root cells. They looked for patterns, determined phase % and related their observations to their current project. What phase is it pointing to?
Jerrell Taylor created a 3-D model of DNA replication using Block Art on his Ipod. He asked to use that instead of create a paper model and it turned out great. This assignment required the students to use base pair coding of guanine, adenine, thymine, and cytosine, and translate it into a DNA ladder. They then simulated the process of replication that occurs in the S phase of the cell cycle by splitting the helix and replicating the strands.(see the pictures below)
Students researched the contributions of scientists to cell theory and genetics and collaborated to make this google presentation.
