Today we reviewed the three reasons cells maintain a small size. We reviewed the cell cycle: interphase, mitosis and cytokinesis. Then we learned about the activities that occur during mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase. We took a field trip to the gym where we acted out mitosis on the basketball court. Hopefully this visual representation of each phase helps you to remember what happens at each phase.

Homework: prepare 5 flash cards (one for each phase) which includes a drawing of the cell in the phase, the name of the phase and a list of activities which occur in the phase.
