Summary:

The process of the cells dividing is called Mitosis. Mitosis is what causes cell division. There are six different phases. These six phases are Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase , Telophase and Cytokinesis. 

There is also different types of body systems that help us live and breath today. The systems are the Cardiovascular System, Digestive System, Immune System,Muscular System, Nervous System, Skeletal System, and the Urinary System.

S&EP: SP2: Developing And Using Models:

We made a model of a Mitosis flip book in class. A flip book is a small book that has drawing drawn on them and when you flip the book quickly it becomes a miniature animation. And for our animation  we had to draw the many different stages of Mitosis. We had to draw the little cells while they did their cell division. It was challenging but in the end it was fun to see the result and witness mitosis in our eyes.

XCC: Cause and Effect:

 The cause and effect is once the cell matures and grows it starts the stages of Mitosis. The first thing it does is it duplicates its DNA so the other cell can have the same DNA and not just half. Once the cell has duplicated its DNA correctly it begins the rest of the Mitosis process. But sometimes the cell could duplicate itself wrongly and that could cause uncontrollable duplication/division of cell. This uncontrollable division/duplication can cause cancer. And cancer could possibly lead to death.
