Purpose & Description
Hands-on learning is essential to understanding fundamental biological concepts, and the "Cellular reproduction station rotation" lab experience provided students with an unparalleled opportunity to explore the process of cell reproduction in depth. By dividing students into groups and guiding them through five different stations, this methodology helped promote active participation and collaborative learning. From microscopic observation of cells at different stages of mitosis to modeling cell differentiation, each station provided a unique perspective on how cells divide and specialize to maintain the complexity of living organisms.
The purpose of working in five stations was to compare the concepts of Mitosis and Meiosis using different bibliographic resources, to observe under the microscope micro preps with samples of mitosis and meiosis to perform phase recognition and to calculate the percentages of the stages of mitosis through images.
By encouraging hands-on experimentation, this laboratory experience not only reinforced the theoretical concepts taught in the classroom, but also developed key skills such as careful observation, teamwork and problem solving.
