III. Procedure

Teacher's Activity Student's Activity

A. Preparation:
Good morning class! Good morning teacher!
Before anything else, let us first all rise
and start our class with a prayer.
How are you today? We are okay teacher.
Well are you ready to lend your ears for Yes teacher.
our discussion today?

B. Motivation:
( Giving of Trivia )
Class, do you know that the biggest
organism in the world is the blue whale
which is composed of 100 quadrillion
cells?
The human body is composed of
approximately 50 - 75 trillion cells.
While the smallest organism in the world
is amoeba which is composed of only one
cell!

Ok class, I want you to get a piece of Get One and pass.

I will be giving each group a brown
envelope. Inside the envelope are the cut-
out picture and your task is to put them
together to find out what is the mystery
creature.

Do the activity for 5 minutes.

How about the group 2? Human
For the Group 3, what is the mystery
creature?

C. Presentation of the lesson

Our lesson for today is related to the

activity we had. Since these animals are
composed of cell, these cells carry on
many functions needed to sustain life.
They grow and divide, thereby producing
more cells. This cell division is referred
to as mitosis.
Today, we will tackle about the process of
mitosis.
But before that I have here a illustration
of a Cell cycle.

4 phases mam
On your observation how many phases do
the cell cycle have? G1, phase, S phase, G2 Phase and M-
And that are? phase

Yes Very Good.

Did you know class that in the G1 phase

it is about cell growth, increase of the size
of the cell
And the S phase or known as synthesis is
about DNA, is a period when the DNA is
replicated.
The G2 phase the organelles double and
cells are prepares for division
From G2 phase is a preparation for
mitosis/ M phase
For you to have an in depth
understanding of our lesson today, we
will have an activity. Again, group
yourselves with the same group you have
during the first activity.

Yes teacher.
Were you able to appreciate the value of
cooperation within the group?

D. Discussion
According to what I have read and my

Very good explanation!

For elaboration, mitosis is a way of
dividing the replicated chromatin into
two similar and equal parts. Each of these
parts is passed on to two new nuclei.

Mitosis has four stages namely

PROPHASE, METAPHASE,
ANAPHASE, and TELOPHASE.

Look at the first stage which is the

prophase. What did you observe in the
illustration?
As what I have observed, there is a dense

what is
happening inside the cell in the
illustration? Describe.

Good!
In stage 1, prophase, the chromosomes
are thicker and shorter because of
repeated coiling. At this stage, the
chromosomes are double-stranded. Each
strand is called a chromatid. The two
chromatids produced from the one
chromosome are still attached at one
point, called the centromere or
kinetochore. The nuclear membrane and
nuclei may still be present.

Let’s proceed to the second stage the

metaphase. As what I have observed, the dark spot

south pole. The nuclear membrane has

What did you observe in the illustration?
Ok, Ms. what is happening now inside
the cell in the illustration? Describe.
Good!
In stage 3, anaphase, the centromere
divides and the sister chromatids separate
at the kinetochores and move toward the
opposites poles of the spindle fiber. And
each chromatid is now a separate As what I observed, the dense spot is at
chromosomes both ends and is already dividing into two
new cells.
Finally, let’s proceed to the fourth stage,
the telophase.
What did you observe in the illustration?
Ok, Mr., what is happening now inside
the cell? Describe.

Ok, good!
In stage 4, telophase, the chromosomes
are now at opposite poles of the spindle.
They have started to uncoil. The spindle
fiber may have disappeared. And the
cytokinesis begin at the late anaphase and
is almost complete by the end of
telophase. The result is the formation of I learned that cells undergo cell division

Very good!

IV. Evaluation

Direction:
In a piece of paper, identify the stages of mitosis. Draw each phase/stage in
chronological order and explain each stage in your own words in one sentence
ONLY.

V. Assignment

A. Research further on the stages of mitosis. Elaborate each stage and submit
it next meeting. Put it in a one whole sheet of long bond paper.

B. Read in advance "Meiosis" on pages 128-134, Science and Technology

Textbook for Second Year and answer the following questions:
1. What is Meiosis?
2. What is the difference between Mitosis and Meiosis?
3. What re the stages of Meiosis?
