Mitosis Stop-Motion Project
In this project you will show your understanding of the events of Mitosis though a
stop-motion video.

1. Download one of these Apps to create your video:
Apple
 Onion Cam2
 Stop Motion Studio
Android
 PicPac
 Stop Motion Studio
2. Set up your phone and size the paper cell and play-doh cell
organelles to fit within the frame. Measure them!
3. Create with Play-Doh:
a. Nuclear membrane
b. Chromatin
c. Chromosomes (3)
d. Centromeres
e. Spindle Fibers and Centrioles
Create with paper:
f. Cell
g. Cut out page 2 for titles and events of each stage
4. Make your video, add in titles of each stage and events. (p.2)
5. When completed, upload your video to FlipGrid.

Mitosis Stop-Motion Project
Your video will show each of the following labeled events in order:
Events
Titles
Prophase
1. DNA coils up from Chromatin
to Chromosomes
2. The nuclear envelope
(membrane) breaks down
3. Spindle fibers form at each
pole
Metaphase
4. Spindle fibers attach to
Centromeres
5. Chromosomes align along
the metaphase plate (center)
Anaphase
6. Chromosomes are pulled away
by spindle fibers to opposite poles.
Telophase
7. Chromosomes reach poles, the
nuclear membrane reforms, and
chromosomes unwind into chromatin
Cytokinesis
8. Division of the cytoplasm and cell
membrane, two new genetically
identical daughter cells are formed
