This works well with mitosis and it is fun:

1) Students make mitosis flip books: flipping the pages turns cell division
into motion. Works best with 1/2 of 3x5 note cards, stapled at one end. The
book needs:

A cover - dramatizing mitosis like a book, video, cd or play. Credit for
funny and imaginative titles: "Days of our Phases", etc, etc. Color and draw
on the cover. Each card tells the stage on the back, describes what is
happening and names the parts, ie - centrioles, chromatin etc.

1 of interphase
4 of prophase - showing chromosomes unraveling and starting to move into
position
1 of metaphase
3 of ana phase - showing chromosomes separating
4 of telophase - showing all the steps
1 of interphase

2) Teachers in our school have ranged into cancer as an issue of "out of
controll mitosis". this has gone from a simple explanation of the process,
at one level, to a massive "I Search" 10th grade paper on the other.
