Meiosis Plate Poster
Instructions: You will be creating a model that illustrates the process of Meiosis. Each table will
be responsible for creating a poster using paper plates. You will either be assigned meiosis I or
meiosis II. You will be using paper plates to represent the cells and pipe cleaners to represent
the chromatids.
Materials:
Meiosis I
●
●
●
●
●
5 paper plates
1 large sheet of paper
6 pipe cleaners
○ Two sets of 3 of the same color
Glue
Markers/crayons/ colored pencils
Meiosis II
●
●
●
●
●
10 paper plates
1 large sheet of paper
8 pipe cleaners
○ Two sets of 4 of the same color
Glue
Markers/crayons/ colored pencils
Required Components:
Meiosis I
●
●
●
Must show prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I and telophase I
A very brief description of what is happening during each phase
Show crossing over/ genetic recombination
Meiosis II
●
●
Must show prophase II, metaphase II, anaphase II and telophase II
A very brief description of what is happening during each phase
