Mitosis Mystery
When I teach mitosis, I also give students a mystery scenario to solve. In the
scenario, a chromosome was stolen from an experimental laboratory. I hand out an
envelope with about 30 clues inside. The clues have been separated so that
students must look at each clue individually. There are 4 suspects with 4
different motives. Three of the suspects can be ruled out based on the students’
knowledge of mitosis phases. The scenario gets everyone in the classroom
involved, and students enjoy it. Prizes go to the winner and to the team that
showed the best teamwork.
