Mitosis Escape Room

Description

Have you considered using learning stations or even a mitosis escape room with your students? This is a mitosis activity that is ideal for reviewing before an exam.

This is a 4 part escape room that can be adapted for your students into anything from seat work to a full-blown escape room experience. Depending on your time and your classes.

4 tasks:

1. Students are asked to sort clues into one of two categories: mitosis or interphase
2. Students are given a list of social media posts from a cell moving through the cell cycle. They are asked to identify what phase by the post.
3. Students are provided an informational text on control of the cell cycle and asked to answer questions using the provided text.
4. Students use the answers in the previous tasks to break the code and solve the encrypted message – which is a key statement about mitosis.
