Lesson 9 Meiosis versus mitosis

This lesson starts with recall of cells needed to make a baby then revisits the number of chromosomes in these cells. We question ‘how’ do these cells get made with a haploid number of chromosomes. We teach meiosis with a focus on the number of chromosomes. I have created animated slides with step by step questions that are posed which we answer as we teach the lesson. Students complete a set of recall questions and self assess their answers. All answers are included. They then complete a table comparing mitosis and meiosis. Students also self assess their answers. All worksheets and answers included.
