You have two weeks to complete a detailed project explaining the processes of each
Mitosis and Meiosis as well as, comparing and contrasting each. Grade will be given on
correct data, creativity, and attention to detail. The project needs to be informative and use
correct science terminology. You may use data from the internet but it must be cited on the
bibliography paper attached. Any pictures that you print & paste must be cited. You may
draw your own pictures but make sure they are drawn correctly. This is the RUBRIC to be
turned in with your final assignment, please do not lose this page. You may design a
detailed poster board, a booklet (make pictures large and visible), PowerPoint, Video, Poem or
Song (with pictures) or Foldable.
