<p> Mitosis Flip-Book</p><p>This activity will give you a great opportunity to use your artistic skills to learn about mitosis. Materials:  5 sheets of paper  markers, colored pencils, etc  stapler  textbook, or a good diagram of stages of mitosis, for reference</p><p>Preparation: Cut each sheet of paper into quarters or eighths. The paper must all be the same size.</p><p>Method: 1. You can make your books as detailed as you want, as long as you realize you’ll be drawing a lot of very similar pictures. </p><p>2. To make a good flip-book, each successive picture should vary a tiny bit from the preceding picture. When you flip the book, the animation should be fairly smooth. At least 20 to 25 pages is suggested. </p><p>3. Imagine mitosis as a smooth process. Mitosis doesn’t happen in 5 to 6 static frames, the way it’s depicted in textbooks. Emphasize the movement of chromosomes. </p><p>4. Use the textbook diagrams to help draw the cell in mitosis. Remember the changes to chromosomes, the nuclear membrane, spindle fibers, cell membrane, etc. </p><p>Conclusion:  Write an outline that describes each step of mitosis. This outline should describe the steps that you have done in your flip book.</p><p>Assessment: I should be able to answer yes all of these question as I grade your work  Does the book have all 6 phases of mitosis?  Can you see the centrioles, chromosomes, & spindle fibers throughout the flip book?  Does the flip book show a smooth transition to each phases (make sure it looks similar to the animations that we saw in class on the computer)?  Did the book have 20-25 pages?  Did the book include an outline of the 6 phases?  Does the description match the details in the flip book? Mitosis Flip Book Grading Rubric The flip book must include all of the following. Your grading scale will be out of 30 total points.</p><p>Includes all 6 phases of the cell cycle 10pts</p><p>Each phase includes all necessary parts (centrioles, chromosomes, spindle fibers, etc) 5pts</p><p>Show smooth transitions to each phase (20-25pgs) 5pts</p><p>Report outlining each of the 6 phases where descriptions match the details in the book 5pts</p><p>Colorful with effort shown 5pts</p><p>Total /30</p>
