Cell Cycle Webquest - PDF NEW

This document provides instructions for a webquest on mitosis. Students are directed to complete activities on several websites to learn about cell growth, the cell cycle, and the stages of mitosis. They are to answer questions and fill out charts at each site describing the roles of cell structures in cell division and the key events that occur during each phase of mitosis. The goal is for students to understand what happens during cell division and the functions of mitosis.

Mitosis Webquest

Task
Go to the web sites listed to learn about mitosis. Complete the activities or
questions that go with each site. You are going to complete several
activities.
Through these activities, you will learn what happens in cell division.
