Program Objectives     Topics Covered       Pricing

Learn about the remarkable process of cell reproduction as Mitosis examines how cells divide. All non-sexual cellular reproduction occurs through Mitosis, providing the organism an ability to grow and replace damaged cells. A multitude of diagrams, photographs, animations, special effects, and electron micrographs provide the visual component to learning the process.

Topics covered in this program include: The Prokaryotic Cell; the Eukaryotic Cell; Nuclear Envelope; Organelles; Cytoplasm; Nucleus; Genetic Material within a Cell - Prokaryotic Cell Division; Eukaryotic Cell Division; Eukaryotic Cell Cycle Interphase; M Phase (Mitosis); Prophase; Centrioles; Spindle; Metaphase Plate; Metaphase; Anaphase; Telophase; and Cytokinesis.

Presentation
The Presentation portion of this program includes audio-narrated scenes featuring content from the objectives.



Interactive Lessons
Students can work through different activities that directly reinforce the information learned in the Presentation.
