Unit Overview
Unit Plan Title
Cell Division
Curriculum-Framing Questions
Essential Question
How is life formed?
 What are cells?
 How are cells produced?
Unit Questions
 What happens during Mitosis?
Unit Summary
The unit that I will be preparing will cover mitosis, which is a method of cell division. Mitosis is
divided into different phases in order to create a daughter cell. The phases are as followed:
interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. The students will be able to
identify each phase that take place within mitosis. The students will also be able to draw and
give a description of what takes place within each phase of mitosis.

Accommodations for Differentiated Instruction
Remediation- TTW give student a sheet of white paper with boxes
drawn in the pattern which cells divide. TSW have to use their found
cell and draw the in each box provide in the same direction. TSW
then do the math alongside the boxes by using the illustration of the
cells they drew. Example: 1x2, 2x2, 4x2…..
Resource
Student
Remediation- TTW allow students to use the computer and go to
http://www.biology.arizona.edu/cell_bio/tutorials/cell_cycle/cells3.html
to view a three dimensional animation of mitosis and it gives a brief
summary of each phrase.
Remediation- TTW provide help after school to go back over the
phrases of mitosis and assign them
http://www.cellsalive.com/mitosis.htm website to visit.

Enrichment- TSW be given a piece of 12”x18” of white paper have to
divide it into 3x4 boxes and draw the cell they found over the internet
in one of the boxes. TSW then repeat that same cell in the other
boxes but they must be drawn at different angles.
Gifted Student
Enrichment- TTW allow student to construct a mitosis dance with
partners.
Enrichment- TTW assign students to go to
http://www.cellsalive.com/meiosis.htm and begin reading about
meiosis.
Student Assessment
Criteria for Evaluating the Product:
Use a Checklist
Is calculation correct for every hour?
Is graph is accurate?
Is graph neatly done and easy to read?
Are the hours on y-axis and number of cells on x-axis?
Criteria for Evaluating the Product:
Was the poster board done accurately?
Did student fully understand cell division?
Criteria for Evaluating the Product:
Did everyone in the same group have the same information?
Was each person in the group understood cell division?
Was the experiment performed correctly?
