In place of an information sheet, you can write what’s happening on the backs of some of the cards. Include an information sheet describing what is occurring in the drawings (i.e., Pictures 1-5 are Interphase (G1, S, G2) This is where the.). You can also staple it together with a heavy duty staple gun, or use a heavy duty clip to hold the cards in place.Ħ.

Return to step 3 and keep drawing if needed. Check to make sure that the action is smooth and that there are no big jumps from one scene to the next. The more cards you use, the slower the action will seem to go, and the fewer you use, the faster it will go.Ĥ. Remember that more than one action occurs in the cell at a time.

Each card's scene should lead smoothly to the next and should change just a little from the previous one. Use as many cards as you need to complete all of the intermediate steps that would occur. Using your imagination, draw what must happen between those stages for one scene to look like the next. Lay out the cards in the correct sequence, and place a few blank cards between them. Using one index card per stage, draw a picture showing the different stages of mitosis (prophase to cytokinesis). Carefully study the phases of mitosis until you are familiar with the changes in each.Ģ. You can also use the images from the video on youtube: ġ. What is a mitosis flipbook?
