On-line Resources
- The Biology Project
This site provides the teacher with a wealth of information about the cell cycle. Students would benefit by completing this before the microscope activity. - Plant Mitosis Page
This site put out by Okalahoma State has some great images that compare plant and animal cells. - Mitosis Review
Contains some great plant images and thus can be useful to students or could be used in a PowerPoint presentation prior to the microscope exercises. - Virtual Cell
This is a great virtual image of a plant cell. It allows the student to see what happens to a plant cell during mitosis. - Mitosis
A great review for the teacher and the students.
