Neiosis Chalk Activity
Rationale
Students need a sound understanding of gamete production in organisms in order to
explain sexual reproduction and its effect on genetic variation.
Objective
! Students will be able to list the phases of meiosis.
! Students will be able to depict each stage and explain what is occurring during each
stage of meiosis
! Students will be able to compare and contrast meiosis and mitosis.

Neiosis Chalk Activity

Procedure
!"#$#%& Stuuents will stait class with the question of the uay

I will check stuuents homewoik foi completion
Stuuents will use theii completeu guiueu notes as iefeience uuiing touay's
activity. uuiueu notes weie completeu in class the pievious uay.
!()*+,%& Stuuents will uiaw each stage of meiosis on the uesk using siuewalk
chalk. A total of ten uiawings will be completeu.
!()*$-"& Stuuents will explain theii uiawings to me as they complete the
uiawings. Stuuents will then explain theii misconceptions anu uesciibe how the
fixeu these misconceptions.
Stuuents will clean up lab aieas.
!()$".& Stuuent will uiscuss theii finuings with theii gioups anu classmates anu
uesign. As a class stuuents will compaie anu contiast mitosis anu meiosis.

Assessment/
Evaluation
! Stuuents finisheu piouuct will be giaueu
! Stuuents will be assesseu on theii ability to follow instiuction in completing
the activity (obseivation)
! The topic of meiosis will be on the chaptei exam.
