Chromosome Student Modeling Pack Classroom Resources

Activities and Recommendations

1. Model different types of chromosomes.
2. Demonstrate how chromosomes are comprised of DNA by connecting the nucleotides to the chromosomes using the scaling graphics.
3. Model mitosis and meiosis using the foam parts.
4. Model crossing over at the microscopic scale with the foam parts.
