MITOSIS Mini Poster Project Objective: ta demonstrate your understanding of mitosis and cell division. In doing this you will create an accurate end engaging mini poster showing the cell's cycle fram interphase thru the 4 majar stages of mitosis (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase) ending with cytokinesis. This poster will feature taxt and illustrations describing what is happening during each step, Materials: Typical materials needed will be » mini paster board, glue, markers, crayans, string/yarn (optional), and scissors.

A brief description should be included at each stage to describe what is going on. Allcells should begin with 4 chromosomes. Each represented by a different calor. All phases should be labeled as well as the cell structures involved in the process. (nucleus, centriales, spindle fibers, nuclear envelope, and chromosomes) Tha posters should be grammatically correct and damonstrate neatness and creativity. Posters should be colorful and visually plewsing DUE DATE:Mitosis Project Rubric Category 10 4 - Outstanding Pretty Good | Not Bad-But No Not So Hot -| Prize Content Student shows Student showsa | Student showsa __| Student does not Knowledge —_| thorough basic understanding | basic understanding | convey knowledge knowledge ofthe | of the five stages of | of mitosis, but there | of all steps or the five steps of mitosis | mitosis and Is areerrors none | information and the cell successfully ableto | stage or student —_| presented at 2 or structures Involved, | convey what fails to present ALL | more steps Is Student works to.go | happens at each —_| Information for ALL | Inaccurate. above and beyond | step. steps.
