NCSS teacher job fair set

Mrs. Freeman’s Biology class at Piedmont Academy has been learning about the cell cycle and how cells divide and why. In order to help the students better understand what is happening inside a cell when it is dividing, they performed an Oreo Mitosis lab. Students used Oreo’s that represented the cell and the white creme represented the cytoplasm, which is where all the organelles are located for every cell. Students had to use the Oreo to show what stage the cell was going through in its cycle. They used colored sprinkles to represent the structures (organelles) that play a role in the cell as it is dividing to produce two new identical daughter cells. - photo by Special to The Covington News
