Imagine and emphasize the movement of chromosomes in your series of drawings. Mitosis does not happen in static frames. When you flip the pages of the book the 'animation' should be smooth. To make a good flip book, each successive picture should vary a tiny bit from the preceding picture. Telophase Nuclear envelopes reappear.Grade 10 Biology Activity: Mitosis Flip-Book Name_ INTRODUCTION: Your task is to create a flipbook using paper, 3x5 cards, white marker boards (Submit via PowerPoint) or an animation showing the process of mitosis. Anaphase Spindle Fibers shorten, pulling sister chromatids apart and to opposite sides of cell. Metaphase Spindle Fibers attach to chromosomes and move them to the middle. I would focus on one structure at a time and draw its changes through several frames.ģ Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Nuclear Envelope disappearsĬhromatin condenses into Chromosomes (DNA shortens and thickens) Centrioles move to the poles Spindle Fibers begin to grow (late in prophase).

Be sure to draw non-moving items the same size and in the same place in each frame. When you flip through it will appear to disappear. Example: The nuclear membrane disappears during prophase, so you would draw a solid line for the nuclear membrane, then a dashed line in the next frame, then dotted line in the next, then no membrane in the next. Remember: Mitosis starts after interphase, so the DNA is copied (attached at the centromeres), so there is actually 8 total sister chromatids, not yet condensed into short thick x-chromosomes.

Structures to include: Nuclear Membrane, Centrioles, Spindle Fibers, and 4 strands of DNA. Ask for help if you’re unsure how to make this happen.

Once you’re finished drawing, cut out the frames and staple together in a staggered fashion so that they “flip” easily. To better keep track, you might want to make your drawings before cutting out the frames of the flip book.

You can use a pencil to number the pages on the far left where the staples will go.
