Description

If you’re looking for a meaningful way to connect your biology curriculum to real-world science careers, this Careers in Science: Mitosis Activity is a perfect fit!

This no-prep mitosis worksheet introduces students to geneticist and cancer researcher Dr. Mary-Claire King and helps them explore how cell division connects to cancer research, DNA, mutations, and human health. Students will see how understanding mitosis and the cell cycle can help scientists explain what happens when cells divide too quickly or with mistakes.

I designed this as an easy go-to for early finishers, sub plans, homework, enrichment, or anytime you want to show students how what they’re learning in class connects to real scientists doing exciting work.

Want more biology career connections like this one? This activity is also included in my Biology Careers in Science Activities Bundle, which includes multiple no-prep worksheets connecting biology topics to real scientists and modern science careers.

 

This Careers in Science: Mitosis Activity includes:

  • A student-friendly reading, 4–5 short paragraphs, about a real career in science
  • 5–6 thoughtful reflection and comprehension questions
  • A fun coloring activity of the scientist working in the field
  • PDF, Google Slides, and answer key

 

This activity fits perfectly when teaching mitosis, the cell cycle, cancer, DNA, mutations, genetics, or uncontrolled cell growth. Students will learn how Dr. King’s discovery of the BRCA1 gene changed how scientists understand inherited cancer risk and how mutations in genes that help regulate cell division can lead to cancer.

Your students will see that mitosis is not just a set of phases to memorize. It is a process scientists study to understand cancer, improve genetic testing, and help save lives.

Downloads

How do I find my downloads?

At the top of the page click MY ACCOUNT, then click DOWNLOADS in the list on the left. A link to all of your downloads can be found there.

You will also receive an automated email after each purchase with a link to every resource, so check your inbox and your spam or junk folder. Be sure to save your purchases to your hard drive and consider backing them up.

My download has a file-path error and will not open!

This is usually a character-length problem that happens when files sit in the Downloads folder on a PC. That folder is buried so deep on the computer that it can cause errors.

Try saving the file to My Documents instead of Downloads and see if that helps. If you are still stuck, email me and I will help you sort it out.

What types of resources do you sell?

Many resources come in both printable (PDF) and digital Google Slides™ formats. Some use Boom Learning for Boom Cards. Unless noted otherwise, please consider products non-editable.

Please read the product description to see exactly what file types you are purchasing.

What is your refund policy?

If you are unsure whether a resource is right for your students, please email me before purchasing and I will gladly answer any questions.

I want to purchase multiple licenses. How does that work?

Each teacher license provides access for one teacher. Add the number of licenses you need to your cart and check out as normal.
