Exploration: The Cell Cycle
Directions
You will evaluate some of these activities yourself, and your teacher may evaluate others. Please save this document before beginning the lesson and keep the document open for reference during the lesson. Type your answers directly in this document for all activities.

Self-Checked Activities
Read the instructions for the following activities and type in your responses. At the end of the lesson, click the link on the Summary screen to open the Student Answer Sheet. Use the answers or sample responses to evaluate your own work.
1. Mitosis
You have conducted an experiment following the cell cycle of an animal cell. Each link below leads to a drawing of the slides you viewed from each phase of the cell’s reproduction. Click the link to a slide and identify the subphase of mitosis it shows. Then number the slides 1 to 4 in the order they occur.
Type your response here:
Slide 1 Phase: Order:
Slide 2 Phase: Order:
Slide 3 Phase: Order:
Slide 4 Phase: Order:
How did you do? Check a box below. Nailed It! – I included all of the same ideas as the model response on the Student Answer Sheet. Halfway There – I included most of the ideas in the model response on the Student Answer Sheet.
Not Great – I did not include any of the ideas in the model response on the Student Answer Sheet.
2. Comparing Plant and Animal Cell Cycles
Use the links in the lesson to review the cell cycles of a plant cell and an animal cell. Note what happens in each phase and write your comparisons in this table.
Type your response here:
Plant Cell
Animal cell interphase mitosis
cytokinesis
