Participants |
Teams of up to six |
Materials |
All materials will be provided at the event, including pencils, rulers, instructions, labels, and a variety of modeling materials. |
Rules |
1. Students must follow the instructions provided at the event to model interphase and the 4 stages of mitosis using only the materials provided.
2. Students will then be required to label all the parts of the model using the labels provided.
3. Students will also describe the key events of each stage of the cell cycle.
4. Groups will have a 20 minute time limit to complete the tasks.
5. Students are required to follow the verbal instructions provided at the event regarding the treatment of materials.
