Description
This Meiosis Amoeba Sisters Video Handout was created to accompany the Meiosis video by the Amoeba Sisters on YouTube.
In this video, students break down meiosis in a clear, visual way as they learn how gametes are formed and why they are genetically different. They will follow Meiosis I and II, see when homologous chromosomes and sister chromatids separate, and connect crossing over and independent assortment to genetic variation.
This Meiosis Amoeba Sisters Video Handout download includes two handouts – for both the original 2017 video and the newly updated 2026 Meiosis video, so you can choose the version that works best for your classroom.

This is not your average video worksheet!
My worksheets are designed to include:
- An anticipation activity to access prior knowledge and spark engagement
- Multiple choice questions in order of the video so students can follow along without constantly pausing
- An independent activity for student practice after the video
- An extension activity that applies the concepts from the video
