Mitosis

Hello all, This page will both be mine and Jordan's for information on our shared lesson.

To join our Elluminate session. Find it in our ning or my twitter account search @tonhack or #brocktec / Or scroll down to find the link in our lesson sequence

Here's our lesson sequence Nov 30 Presentation Ideas - Possible Sequencing - Mitosis - Chanthorn & Jordan

Tools/Software needed - Elluminate - already setup - TightVNC (PC) and Chicken of the VNC (Mac OSX) - need viewer + server - SMARTboard - Mouse (just easier to control screen) - Mitosis powerpoint + smartboard lesson (it’s good to have both)

Preparation - Setup Jordan’s notebook in room 13 - Connect Chanthorn’s notebook to Jordan’s notebook - now indirectly controlling the smartboard in Room 13 - We’re going to be in room 16 - Make sure Elluminate is setup - have link ready (http://139.57.65.33:80/join_meeting.html?meetingId=1254495690593)  - use the ppt and smartboard lesson on Jordan’s notebook - have them open since that’s what we’re going to be controlling (will have ppt/smartbard on Chanthorn’s notebook as well, just in case) - make sure we have high quality images for each phase/activity that we have

Lesson Sequence - Don’t forget to start Recording once we begin lesson - Can use elluminate to ask questions (use the Hands up function in elluminate) - Explain what our lessons is and how we’re doing it - Remotely controlling Jordan’s notebook through Chanthorn’s, Jordan’s is connected to the Smartboard in 13 while we’re in room 16 - anything I do on my notebook, they will see on the smartboard in room 13 (also, I can application share so they can see what’s on my screen - not sure if we want to do this, it can be messy) - Also, I can link my notebook to the smartboard in room 16 - not sure what the use is going to be for. As before, it can get messy. better off just sharing Jordan’s screen

Quick lesson on Mitosis (agreed to be doing the plant cell instead of animal?) - There will be diagrams for each phase - importance of mitosis - cell division, repair and growth of body - one parent --> two daughters - What is a chromosome?What is looks like? - will only focus on the chromosomes - don’t worry about the other cell organelles - Interphase + phases of mitosis - Interphase - DNA duplication - Prophase - Chromosome condenses - Metaphase - lines up at middle - Anaphase - separates - Telophase + Cytokinesis - at poles and cell plate forms to divide cells, decondenses

Activities done throughout/end of lesson - Before moving onto the next phase - for assessment we can make it so everyone has to put their hand up or use poll before moving on (use elluminate for this function) - split class into 4  groups - will have an image of onion root tip - get them to go up to the smartboard and circle/label the phase that was assigned (PMAT) - do group activity as a class - get them into pairs and act out mitosis as if they were sister chromatids - get them to say the phase as they move through mitosis -PowerPoint images of mitosis. 4 groups from previous section compete to see who canidentify first which phase is being shown
