Bring the abstract theories of cell division to life! Using this outstanding kit, students will be challenged as they identify the phases of plant mitosis, observe chromosomal development, gain hands-on experience with micro-techniques, and stain and mount their own slides. Students prepare their own plant cells by treating scientifically grown onion root tips cells with a mild acid, then staining the cells. A stained section of cells is then squashed onto a slide and smeared into a single layer for microscopic study. All of the activities in this ready-to-use kit can be completed in a standard lab period. Kit is complete for 30 students.
