Key Features
- 30 large teacher chromosomes in 5 colour sets, visible on the board from the back of the classroom.
- Each set has a maternal and a paternal homolog and four sister chromatids, with alleles and parental lineage marked.
- The fifth set has removable alleles for demonstrating crossing over.
- Smaller student chromosome sets for teacher-directed desk activities.
- No consumables, so the kit can be used again and again.
- Downloadable teacher manual with student activities, assessment options and a digital activity sheet.

How It Is Used
The teacher builds each stage of meiosis on the board with the large chromosomes, using the colour-coded homologs and marked alleles to show how chromosomes pair, separate and pass to new cells, and the removable alleles to show crossing over. Students then repeat the steps at their desks with their own smaller sets, following activities from the manual.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Meiosis Manipulatives Kit show crossing over?
The fifth of the five teacher chromosome sets has removable alleles, used for demonstrating cross-over.
Does the Meiosis Manipulatives Kit need consumables?
No. There are no consumables, so the kit can be used over and over again.
