Students in Mrs. Kemple's Biology classes were challenged to create mitosis posters illustrating the phases of cell division without drawing a single structure. Cell membrane, nuclear membrane, spindle fibers, chromatin, chromosomes, centromeres, centrioles all had to be represented by some type of arts and crafts material that included yarn, ribbon, beads, poms, pipe cleaners, straws etc. Each "cell" needs to display the events that take place during that phase. It's interesting to see the different ways that students choose to represent each cellular structure. Creative energy was flowing and fun was had by all! Great mid-year scientific change up!"
