Lay out clearly and concisely what you want your students to know about each phase of mitosis, using this handy chart.

This table maps out the exact breakdown I use with my tutoring students if they've been overwhelmed or stumped by their biology teacher's explanation.

What's included:

+ key events in prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase

+ vocabulary definitions

+ color-coding mnemonics to aid understanding (prophase and telophase mirror each other!)

+ BONUS: cytokinesis (and how it differs in animal cells vs plant cells)

Example uses:

+ add it to the end of your lecture notes as a recap

+ hand it out as a supplement to practice questions on identifying what stage of mitosis a cell is in based on a microscopy image or a sketch

+ provide it as a summary study guide for a unit test on mitosis

Suited for intro high school biology, AP Biology, IB Biology SL/HL, intro college biology, and MCAT.

Linear Relationships Art #1 - Graphing Straight Lines - PBL, Project Based Learning

This math art project embodies the principles of project-based learning, merging mathematics with artistic expression to engage students in a multifaceted educational experience. Students will graph 18 linear equations, meticulously tracing each line then creating intricate oblong shapes within spaces created by the lines.

The project culminates in a vibrant display of color as students fill in each unique shape, applying their understanding of mathematical concepts through a creative lens. This approach not only reinforces skills in graphing and geometry but also encourages artistic creativity and attention to detail. Ideal for fostering a deeper appreciation for the intersection of math and art, this project makes learning both interactive and visually compelling.

2 Versions Included

This math art project comes in two versions:

1. Equations are provided - this allows students to begin graph pre-determined equations, all projects will have the same outline. This will still allow for student artistic expression within their shape creation and color choices.

2. The second version is where students craft their own, adhering to specific criteria. The latter challenges gifted and talented learners, promoting higher-order thinking as they develop equations. This self-generated approach deepens understanding, fostering analytical skills and creative problem-solving in a mathematically artistic context.
