Topics:
- Cell Cycle and Its Regulation
- How does the cell cycle assure genetic continuity?
- How does mitosis allow for the even distribution of genetic information to new cells?
- What are the mechanisms of cytokinesis?
- How is the cell cycle regulated?
- How can aberrations in the cell cycle lead to tumor formation?
- Describe cell division: interphase and DNA replication, mitosis, and cytokinesis
- Describe cellular specialization: blastula, morula, zygote, etc.
- What is cancer, what causes it, how is it treated?
- What is cell death (apoptosis)?
Time Range:
6 days
Suggested Teaching Strategies:
- Students will read and take their own notes on the chapter (maybe in outline form)
- Lecture over cell cycle including: interphase and DNA replication, mitosis, and cytokinesis
- Lecture on cellular specialization and apoptosis
- Lecture on types of cancer
- Students will fill out crossword puzzle that uses terms from the chapter
- Students will fill out chapter study guide to compliment their lecture and board notes
- Students will work through PowerPoint presentation on mitosis and answer questions
- Students will work through PowerPoint presentation on specialization of cells and answer questions
- Use models of phases of mitosis
- Critical Thinking: Students will use computer and do activities on 12.0 thru 12.3 on the Cell cycle and Mitosis on CD Rom from Campbell's Biology
