Description
Product Details
Put mitosis, meiosis, and crossing-over into the hands of your students with 3 interactive chromosomal modeling activities all inside one convenient kit!
Mitosis and meiosis can be difficult concepts to grasp and challenging processes to describe. This kit enables teachers and students to use manipulatives to visualize these processes and recreate them as they occur in most animal cells. Each model chromosome can be detached into individual chromatids that have multiple loci for placing alleles, providing even greater depth to the concepts that can be taught with this kit.
Digital Resources
Includes 1-year access to digital resources that support 3-dimensional instruction for NGSS. Digital resources may include a teacher’s manual and student guide, pre-lab activities and setup videos, phenomenon videos, simulations, and post-lab analysis and assessments.
