Mitosis Construction Project

For this activity you will construct four cells, each representing a phase of mitosis. You will use the following materials:

Pipe cleaners Beads Yarn Glue Construction paper Scissors Colored pencils

You may make either plant or animal cells. Your cell will start prophase with three replicated chromosomes. Remember, plant cells create a cell plate during telophase and animal cells have centrioles. Your cells must include the chromosomes, centromeres, spindle fibers, nuclear membrane, nucleolus and cell membrane. Each structure must be labeled on the prophase cell. The cell parts should be consistent in each of your four cells.

Better cells = Better grade!!
