Cancer Cells Virtual Lab 1 
HOW CAN CANCER CELLS
BE RECOGNIZED?
NAME: _______________________________
DATE: __________________ BLOCK: _______
Purpose:
In this investigation you will explore the similarities and differences between the cell cycles of normal cells and cancer cells.
Procedure:
1. Open your Internet Browser and navigate to the following URL: http://glencoe.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0078695104/student_view0/unit2/chapter9/virtual_labs.html 2. Click on CELLULAR REPRODUCTION
TV/VCR
3.
Click on the TV/VCR.
a.
b.
Click on the button on the video controller.
Watch the video about the cell cycle.
c.
Once you are done watching the video, click
to return to the biology laboratory navigation screen.
INFORMATION/STATISTICS
4.
Click to read about cancer statistics and risk factors. Complete the VenDiagram (in the DATA section below) comparing and contrasting the three types of cancer you have statistics on.
a.
Once you are done reviewing the information, click
to return to the biology laboratory navigation screen.
MICROSCOPES
5.
Click on the microscope sitting on the right side of the lab bench on the biology laboratory navigation screen
a. Click a picture on the Table of Contents (at the top of the screen) to get information about one of the five cell phases. Use the forward and back pointers to move between cards. Click the up arrow to return to the Table of Contents.
b. Compare the normal lung tissue cells shown through the microscope with the cell phase pictures in the microscope.
i. Label the cells with empty label boxes below them. Decide which phase a particular cell is in. ii. Go to the information card the corresponds to the phase of the cell cycle. iii. Click and drag the corresponding label from the top of the information card to the label box below the cell. iv. Repeat labeling procedure for each of the five cells.
1. Click the button. Incorrectly labeled cells will be highlighted yellow. Click and drag any new labels to any of the cells that you labeled
