This online tutorial walks students through the basics of DNA, the cell cycle, and mitosis. Each step of cell division is introduced with a brief description and illustration. Includes a short animation of mitosis, a review quiz, and a vocabulary list. Though the mitosis animation requires Flash, nothing else does. There is a lot to learn here through text, diagrams, and quizzes.

tag(s): cells (82), division (109), meiosis (8), mitosis (9), vision (41)

In the Classroom

Before using this site, you may want to assess students' knowledge of cells, DNA, and mitosis. Put together an assessment asking about basic information using a tool like Google Forms reviewed here, where you can use a variety of formats, including multiple choice, open-ended, images, and more. Then have students preview the first exercise for words they don't know and create flashcards using Cram - Online Flashcards, reviewed here. After completion of the exercise, ask students to reflect on their learning using Gravity, reviewed here. Gravity allows students to share video responses through collaborative comments and discussions. Require students to comment on at least 3 other students' learning reflections. Be sure you've coached students in proper discussion etiquette, whether online or in class.
