Chromosome Class Activity

AL609, I must say I was rather impressed with the outcome. I trust the winning group (first picture) enjoyed their treat?

AL608 Mitosis Presentation

The AL608 group did a great job in their effort to present the whole mitosis process as creatively as possible and so here are some highlights of their presentation, including videos. ;)
