Meiosis Foldable Activity


Procedures:
1. Read the chapter in your text concerning meiosis.

2. Fold your paper, as shown below. (hot dog style)

3. On the FRONT of the paper write the name of the phase, as shown below.

4. On the inside, DRAW what happens during each phase. LABEL your diagram using the

VOCABULARY provided (use each word at least once).

5. Write a brief summary of what is happening during each phase.

6. Answer the questions and complete the table on the back of this sheet.

7. Once you are confident about each phase of meiosis and what is occurring, come up to your

teacher to “Check Out”. ________________ (teachers initials).
