The Cell: Electronic Board Game CD-ROM
If you were inside a cell, what would it be like? Find out by walking through an actual
cell in this cool electronic board game. Along the way, students encounter the parts and
functions of the cell while answering over 90 questions. Grades 6-12. For 1-6 students. Sh.

Mitosis & Meiosis Poster
Provides a detailed description of
each phase of mitosis and meiosis.
Features detailed illustrations to
facilitate comprehension of key
standards-based concepts. 23" x
35". Laminated. Grades 6-10. Sh.
wt. 0.44 lbs.
SB47620M — $23.75
Mitosis Simulation Lab
An easy, graphic way to visualize the process of mitosis. Students will experience hands-on
learning about chromosome function and structure by constructing models using colored
pop beads. Students will then use these “chromosomes” to model each stage of mitosis. In
the process, they’ll gain a better understanding of what happens during cell division as
well as the ability to distinguish between plant and animal mitosis. For 40 students.
Grades 7-10. Sh. wt. 1.47 kgs.
SB35360M — $133.90
Meiosis
Simulation Lab
Vividly simulate meiosis, the
division of the cell nucleus to
produce sex cells, using colored
“pop” beads. Students model
each stage of the process by
constructing “pop” bead chromosomes
to learn about such important
concepts as cell division,
crossing over, genetic recombination,
chromosomal aberration,
and much more. Enough materials
for a class of 40 students.
Grades 5-12. Sh. wt. 2.15 kgs.
SB31303M — $157.70
Cells Poster
Vivid images compare and contrast similarities
and differences between plant and
animal cells. Provides a detailed representation
of each organelle of both cell types
along with graphic examples of various
specialized cells. This large reference poster
features detailed illustrations to facilitate
comprehension of key, standards-based
concepts. 23" x 35". Laminated. Grades 6-10.

Cell Division:
Mitosis & Cytokinesis
Computer animation illustrates mitosis
and cytokinesis in a clear and understandable
way. This well-organized video
teaches the basics and the terminology
of cell division. Provides general information
about the three types of cell
division — mitosis, meiosis, and binary
fission. Details the four phases of mitosis
and cytokinesis. Live action footage
shows an actual cell dividing. Ideal for
beginning biology classes. 26 minutes.

Cells DVD
It’s been 400 years since the first microscope
was invented in 1665. Yet, we’re still looking
through that small lens and seeing the world
on a whole new level. Get a larger-than-life look
at human and plant cells with this DVD. Gain an
understanding of their primary functions and
watch these tiny building blocks of life in action.
