Complete No-Prep lesson with exam questions, tasks and answers on Chromosomes, Cell Cycle and Mitosis for AQA GCSE (9-1) Science / Biology. This lesson covers all of AQA GCSE Biology / Combined Science 4.1.2.1 and 4.1.2.2. As a Secondary Science teacher, Deputy Headteacher, writer and examiner for many years I make high quality no-prep lessons so busy teachers can teach outstanding lessons without spending hours planning. This high quality lesson includes explanations, different types of in-lesson assessment (all with answers) and unique exam questions. My lessons are designed to take learners on a journey that builds up their understanding step by step, while still going into a lot of depth. The preview video shows a representative sample of slides from the resource so that you get a good idea of what it includes before you buy. What’s Included: • Teaching notes • Starter / Do Now Activity • Explanation slides in “chunked” sections with animated diagrams. • Multiple questions in different question styles and difficulties - no need for worksheets. Each “chunked” explanation section typically includes a set of “learning check / quick questions” followed by a set of in-depth questions on the learning from that “chunk” of the lesson. All questions have answers. • Exam-style questions on the whole lesson at the end of the lesson- these are unique, based on real exam questions but not just copied from exam boards. • Answers for all questions • All easily editable to adapt to your teaching or to use in existing lessons. • Slightly humorous, at points, if you like that sort of thing. The lesson was written for AQA GCSE Science / Biology but is very likely to be applicable to other exam specifications. Please leave a rating / review and all other feedback gratefully received!

Activities and worksheets to cover two lessons on mitosis with Year 12. Main activity involves students building models of each stage of mitosis, labelling and annotating. I instruct my students to take photographs which they will be then turn into a revision aid which can be submitted for marking. Two worksheets are provided to assess their understanding of mitosis after preparing their models.

A double lesson / series of lessons comparing the processes of mitosis and meisosis, suitable for KS3 or a low/ middle ability KS4 class (lesson is tailored towards the new AQA GCSE scheme). The lesson features: A ‘find someone who’ starter grid activity with 6 questions recapping cells (differences between animal, plant and bacterial cells, roles of cell organelles) An introduction to the purpose of mitosis including a link to a video showing aphid cloning and an engaging hook into the lesson considering the replacement of skin cells using mitosis An explanation for the stages of the cell cycle and mitosis using a diagram Differentiated activities on the stages of mitosis (a simple ‘ordering the stages’ task, a table where pupils must order and draw an image to represent the stages of mitosis and a ‘true/ false’ review grid Graphs showing the change in DNA content that students must link to the stages of mitosis and meiosis Review questions on mitosis including a past paper question An introduction to the purpose of meiosis using key terms that pupils must discuss and a discussion question An explanation for the stages of meiosis using a diagram A slide to compare the processes of mitosis and meiosis using images of each cell division A comparison table of mitosis and meiosis with animated answers A 6 mark question comparing mitosis and meiosis with animated markscheme Review questions on the two processes

Here's a couple short tasks to get pupils thinking about mitosis. Enjoy!

This worksheet is designed to help A level students perfect their biological drawing technique. It includes a worksheet with the basic information they need to produce a biological drawing similar to what they should be producing in their PAGS. There is also a criteria ticksheet and exemplar for assessing their work. Suitable for the OCR A Biology H420 course.

✓ Engaging powerpoint ✓ Recaps previous learning ✓ Lots of short AFL tasks ✓ Exam question examples This lesson on Mitosis and Meiosis is designed for KS4 Science students enrolled in the CIE Cambridge IGCSE Biology 0610 (2023-25) course. This is the second lesson in the topic 17 Inheritance. The lesson recaps previous learning from other linked topics to ensure students have a strong foundation before diving into the material. It also includes concise and easy-to-understand information and a variety of quick assessment for learning tasks to help students solidify their understanding of the topic. There is a strong emphasis on answering exam questions, with examples and the mark scheme included in the presentation. Objectives: Describe mitosis as nuclear division giving rise to genetically identical cells (details of the stages of mitosis are not required) State the role of mitosis in growth, repair of damaged tissues, replacement of cells and asexual reproduction State that the exact replication of chromosomes occurs before mitosis State that during mitosis, the copies of chromosomes separate, maintaining the chromosome number in each daughter cell Describe stem cells as unspecialised cells that divide by mitosis to produce daughter cells that can become specialised for specific functions State that meiosis is involved in the production of gametes Describe meiosis as a reduction division in which the chromosome number is halved from diploid to haploid resulting in genetically different cells (details of the stages of meiosis are not required) This lesson would also be adaptable for all GCSE students (whether AQA, Edexcel, OCR) and great for KS3 Science or as a GCSE revision resource.

Template for Mitosis storyboards (made for N5 biology). Text is included but can be blanked out for differentiation. Active learning activity.

Twenty slides of different stages of mitosis. To be used as a starter of plenary to revise the stages of mitosis. Students write down which stage they think it is and why.

An excellent lesson on Mitosis. Includes a fully developed powerpoint and extra worksheets which may be required. All feedback is appreciated.

A cut and stick and cloze activity aimed at A level students. The activity is designed so that students can learn and identify the key stages of mitosis and describe what happens in each of the main stages. The cloze activity allows students to become more familiar with the key terminology associated with this topic. This activity could also be used for able GCSE students. This activity can be completed by students independently as all instructions are given on the sheets. Ideal for both teaching the topic and also as a revision aide. A completed answer sheet is provided for the teacher.

Two worksheets summarising the differences between meiosis and mitosis. One aimed at higher students and a similar support sheet too.

High quality, interactive powerpoint presentation, including; - 21 slides of content - Videos - Tasks - Exam questions - Graphics Great for one or two lessons.

Mitosis Cootie Catchers/ Fortune Tellers: are a great way for students to have fun while learning about each phase of mitosis and other important terms. These cootie catchers contain the following terms: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Centrioles, DNA, Chromosome, Spindle Fibers These mitosis cootie catchers come in color and black & white, and also come with a version where students can add their own definitions. All of this totals 6 pages which has students identifying vocabulary terms about Mitosis (with pictures) based from the definition. ***** Do a search for my other Cootie Catchers in the folllowing topics: ***** United States History: ♦ 13 Colonies ♦ American Heroes ♦ American Revolution ♦ American Symbols ♦ Benjamin Franklin ♦ Bill of Rights ♦ Black History Month ♦ Boston Tea Party ♦ Branches of Government ♦ Christopher Columbus ♦ Civil Rights ♦ Civil War ♦ Cold War ♦ Columbian Exchange ♦ Constitution ♦ Declaration of Independence ♦ Dust Bowl ♦ Economics ♦ First Thanksgiving ♦ French and Indian War ♦ Gilded Age ♦ Great Depression ♦ Immigration ♦ Industrial Revolution ♦ Inventors ♦ Jamestown ♦ Lewis and Clark ♦ Lost Colony of Roanoke ♦ Louisiana Purchase ♦ Loyalists or Patriots ♦ Martin Luther King ♦ Native Americans ♦ Oregon Trail ♦ Pilgrims ♦ Progressive Era ♦ Reconstruction ♦ Spanish American War ♦ Texas Revolution ♦ Underground Railroad ♦ War of 1812 ♦ Westward Expansion ♦ World War I ♦ World War II World History: ♦ Absolute Monarchs ♦ European Explorers ♦ Famous Explorers ♦ French Revolution ♦ Holocaust ♦ Middle Ages ♦ Renaissance ♦ Crusades ♦ Titanic ♦ World War I ♦ World War II Ancient History: ♦ China ♦ Egypt ♦ Greece ♦ India ♦ Rome ♦ Incas ♦ Aztecs ♦ Maya's ♦ Mesopotamia ♦ Vikings

A power-point animation on mitosis. This was made for a National 5 Biology class in Scotland but would be appropriate for A/S. However be aware that the names of the stages have not been given and the detail of when replication occurs is not accurate (I know this occurs in interphase - so please don't put that in any feedback). Hope that you find it useful.

A PowerPoint containing 41 slides including stages of Mitosis, card sorts, match up tasks and extension activities. Suitable for both GCSE and A Level and similar courses.

By the end of the lesson learners should be able to: List the names and order the stages of the cell cycle including mitosis. Describe what happens in each stage of the cell cycle, including mitosis. Describe how mitosis produces genetically identical, diploid cells. Explain why mitosis is important. Includes an entire slow animation of the entire mitosis process (60 slides) Includes scaffolded questions to allow access for all learners - 74 slides in total. Suitable for KS3 and KS4.

A detailed lesson which looks at the type of cell division known as mitosis and aims to ensure that students understand that it leads to the production of genetically identical daughter cells. In order to understand this type of cell division and any related topic such as meiosis, students have to be confident with the use of terms like diploid. In addition to this, time is taken to introduce them to a way of considering the quantity of DNA within a cell in terms of n. If they are able to use this correctly, then no matter the organism which is involved in a mitosis exam question, they will be able to answer successfully. Discussion points and progress checks are written into the lesson at regular intervals so their understanding can be assessed. The last part of the lesson provides the students with an opportunity to apply their knowledge of mitosis to a range of exam questions and they can assess against the displayed mark schemes. This lesson has been designed for GCSE students (14 - 16 year olds in the UK) but is also appropriate for older students who want to recap on the key details of the division before extended knowledge is added.

This is a resource which meets specification points within the NEW AQA GCSE Trilogy 'Cells' Sow. Other lessons designed for the new 'Cells' SoW and other new Trilogy Biology and Physics SoW can be found in my TES shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience This lesson begins by identifying the purpose of mitosis - growth and repair. Pupils will then be given a double-sided worksheet, the first side corresponds to the first 5 mins 51 seconds of the video included in the PowerPoint slide. Pupils will need to watch the video and answer the questions on the sheet, they are in order but for lower ability classes you may want to stop the video and guide pupils through the work. Self-assess this work using the answers provided in the PowerPoint before moving on with the video. The next part of the video guides pupils through what happens during Mitosis - Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase. Pupils have diagrams of the the processes on the back of their worksheet, they will need to use the video to name the stages and describe what is happening. Self-assess work using the answers that are provided in the PowerPoint. The next activity, pupils are given real images of a cell going through mitosis and descriptions of the stages, they need to cut and stick the stages and the pictures in the correct order to complete a flow diagram. Pupils peer or self-assess their work using red/green pens. **Past-paper question provided as an extra activity for higher-ability pupils - pupils answer the question in their books and peer-assess using the mark scheme** Plenary - pupils write a text message or a tweet to their friend to tell them what they have learnt about this lesson. All resources are included, as well as mark schemes for when pupils self/peer-assess their work. Please leave a review with feedback :) thanks!
