| Research Abstract |
In order to make junior high-school students understand mitosis deeper, the introduction of cell cycle synchronization to the observation of mitosis was tried. The use of synchronized specimen was quite effective with university students in finding the cells undergoing mitosis easily, but less with junior high students. As a different approach, the way to cultivate tobacco BY-2 cells, with which one can observe mitotic cells easier than with root tissues, at school was also examined. It was found that a stirrer can be used instead of a shaking incubator. A method to observe microtubules of BY-2 cells under the bright-field microscope was also developed, and the images were published on the web.
