Sample Mapping Tasks

Two of the sample maps accessible to registered users in our public library of maps are on display here in the Sample Maps
section. The first was created for use in a Life Sciences classroom and deals with mitosis and meiosis. The second map is
designed for instruction in a history course and covers the topic of beginnings of the Russian revolution
to the early formation of the Soviet Union.

Mitosis and Meiosis

The Mitosis and Meiosis mapping task instructs the life sciences student about the basics of mitosis and meiosis.

Stages: Three
Concepts: Eleven
Use: This task has been used for several years now by the UCLA undergraduate Life Science Core course on Genetics (LS4). Students complete this task as part of their second week lab. TA's refer to an online report showing summaries of group performance and lead discussion accordingly. This task was developed by Dr. Lianna Johnson and Prof. John Merriam of UCLA.
