Mastering Meiosis: Unveiling the Complexities of Cell Division with an Engaging Google Slides Lesson
Embark on a transformative journey through the intricacies of biology with our remote learning ready Google Slides lessons. Tackling the enigmatic realm of meiosis has never been more captivating, scaffolded, or interactive. Witness the evolution of your students' understanding as they grasp the subtleties of this challenging concept in a whole new light.
Why Choose Our Meiosis Modules?
A Path to Clarity: Dive into the heart of one of biology's most formidable topics. Our meticulously crafted lessons break down meiosis into manageable segments, guiding students towards a comprehensive grasp of its complexities.
Conquering Misconceptions: We confront a major misconception head-on, where the term "chromosome" refers to both un-replicated and replicated DNA strands. By tracing the origins of this term, students gain the tools to discern between the two, through engaging activities like drawing and description exercises.
Homologous Harmony: Experience a newfound ease in understanding homologous chromosomes. Our lessons seamlessly guide students through distinguishing pairs, bridging the gap between theory and practice.
Chromosomal Insights: Delve into sex determination, unravel the mysteries of sex chromosomes, and navigate the intricacies of haploid and diploid cell counts across species. Students build confidence by labeling and drawing cells undergoing meiosis.
Your Meiosis Journey Awaits:
Unravel misconceptions, understand homologous chromosomes, delve into haploid and diploid cells, and apply knowledge through labeling and drawing exercises.
Equip your students with the tools to conquer meiosis, fostering a lifelong love for biology and an unwavering confidence in tackling challenging concepts. Secure your access today and watch as your students flourish on this educational journey like never before!

NGSS
HS-LS1-4: Use a model to illustrate the role of cellular division (mitosis and meiosis) and differentiation in producing and maintaining complex organisms.
NGSS
HS-LS3-1: Ask questions to clarify relationships about the role of DNA and chromosomes in coding the instructions for characteristic traits passed from parents to offspring.
NGSS
HS-LS3-2: Make and defend a claim based on evidence that inheritable genetic variations may result from (1) new genetic combinations through meiosis, (2) viable errors occurring during replication, and/or (3) mutations caused by environmental factors.
NGSS
Science & Engineering Practices: Developing and using models; Constructing explanations; Asking questions and defining problems.
NGSS
Crosscutting Concepts: Cause and effect; Structure and function; Systems and system models.
Common Core Alignment
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RST.9-10.1 / RST.11-12.1: Cite specific textual evidence to support analysis of science content. (connection: using visual and written evidence to clarify misunderstandings about meiosis)
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RST.9-10.4: Determine the meaning of domain-specific words (crossing over, homologous chromosomes, reduction division).
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.WHST.9-12.2: Write informative/explanatory texts describing the phases of meiosis and how they differ from mitosis.
