QUARTER: IST SCHOOL YEAR: 2016 – 2017

YEAR AND SECTION: GRADE 7 – MATTHEW TIME OF TEACHING: 8:00 TO 9:00
TIME FRAME: 2 HOURS (1HR. PER MEETING) DATE: AUGUST 21 - 22

GENERAL COMPETENCY:

• Differentiate plant and animal cell according to presence or absence of cellular

organelles.
• Explain why the cell is considered the basic structural and functional unit of all
organisms.

I. LEARNING OBJECTIVES

At the end of the period, the students should be able to:

1. identify the parts of the cell
2. describe plant and animal cells
3. differentiate plant cell from animal cell
4. construct a Venn diagram to show parts that are common to both and
parts that are only found in either plant and animal cell.

II. LEARNING CONTENT

Subject Matter: Plant and Animal Cell

References: Krogh, David., (1949). Biology: A guide to the Natural World.
California: Pearson Education
Materials: sheet of paper, ball pen or pencil, and plant and animal cell

ENERGIZER AND PRAYER ENERGIZER AND PRAYER

Before we start, may I request Yes Sir. Classmates, let us sing

Angelica to lead an energizer “Jesus is my Captain” (Angelica
and prayer? leads the Energizer with the
whole class).

“Let us Pray” (Angelica prays

with the whole class).
 Thank you Angelica for leading our
energizer and prayer this morning.
You may now go back to your seat.
GREETINGS
How was your morning class?
Did you eat your breakfast this
morning?
CHECKING OF ATTENDANCE
Wow! You sure are ready for
today’s class. Let us see if
someone is absent today. Just say
the word “FAITH” if you heard
your name.
Congratulations, you are all
present this morning. I will give
you extra 5 points in our activity
later.
Oh no! John Dave is absent, just
tell John Dave to proceed to my
office tomorrow.
B. LESSON PROPER
RECALL
Who among my handsome and
gorgeous students could give a
brief statement about what we
discussed last meeting?
Yes Marjohn?
Thank you Marjohn for that
comprehensive and precise
answer.
You’re welcome Sir (Angelica
goes back to hear set).
GREETINGS
We have a good morning sir!
Yes sir, we have eaten our
breakfast sir and we are ready
for today’s lesson.
CHECKING OF ATTENDANCE
FAITH! (all names that have
been mentioned will response
this word. If someone is
absent, there would be no
response).
Yeheeeeyyyyy!! (all students
are happy).
Yes sir. We will surely tell him.

different classifications of its
parts and their functions.

You are welcome. Thank you sir.

Thank you for all the groups. A job You are welcome sir.

Now what have you noticed in our (Lester raises his right hand)
puzzle? What have you observed?

Yes Lester? I have noticed two different

cells. The plant and animal cell.

Thank you Lester. You are really a You are welcome sir.
keen observer. Keep up the good
work.

Our lesson for today deals about (Students will listen)

the two types of cells. The plant
and animal cell.

(This time the teacher will share

and explain the lesson objectives)

ACTIVITY ACTIVITY

For our next activity, since you are (Students will listen)
seated evenly, you will work with
this in groups of five.

(The teacher will distribute the (Students will receive the

worksheet containing the activity) worksheet)
This will be the instruction, since (Students will listen and
you are grouped into groups of afterwards, they will read and
five, all of you will work together. start working with the
worksheet)
You must read the introduction
part of this worksheet before
comparing plant cell with animal
cell.

Make sure you have answered the

guide questions and in the last
part, you will make a Venn
Diagram that tells the difference
and similarity of both cells.

Write your Venn diagram in that

manila paper and present it on the
class afterwards.

If you have any question, don’t

hesitate to approach me. I will give
you 10 minutes for that and five
minutes for the presentation.

One last thing before you proceed

class. Make sure that you put the
necessary details in the Venn
Diagram. And here is the criteria:
(SEE APPENDIX)

ANALYSIS ANALYSIS

(Note: The questions here are

from the worksheet. Student’s
answer may vary.)

1. Compare the shape of a plant

cell with that of an animal cell
as shown in Figures 1 and 2.

2. Which cell parts are found in

both cells?

3. Which are present only in

animal cells?

4. Which are present only in

plant cells?
5. Based on your observations
and study of plant and animal
cells, cite differences and
similarities between them.

6. What do you think will happen

to the cell if the plasma
membrane does not function
properly?

7. What is the purpose of the cell

wall in plants?

8. Look at Fig. 1 again. Why are

there several chloroplasts in
the plant cell?

9. How would vacuoles in plants

serve as defense against
animals that eat them?

Times up! Class, kindly pass your (Students will pass their
worksheets forward and every worksheets and will post their
group please post your out-puts. out-puts).

Now, let us start from group 1 This is our findings. In our

group we have noticed that
the plant cell has special
structures know as
chloroplasts that helps them in
the process of photo synthesis.

Now, let us start from group 2 This is what we have

discovered, in our discussion,
we have uncovered that the
animal cell has the formation
of cleavage furrow.

Now, from group 3 This is what we uncovered, in

our group we have discovered
that plant cells have thick cell
walls.

Thank you, you are now scientists. (Students will clap) Thank you
You are truly commendable. Thank sir.
you for those brief yet
comprehensive explanations. Give
yourselves a round of applause.

discussion about this)

(The teacher will entertain some (The student will answer

student generated question or will questions and will also ask
throw diagnostic questions) some questions)

Yes Lester? Sir? What is the main function

of the cell membrane of both
plants and animals sir?

The function of the cell membrane Ah, thank you sir. I thought it
is to regulate what substances would only act as a container

cytoplasm from spilling.

Yes Marjuhn? Sir? Why are the cells needed

to be healthy? Couldn’t we
just let them die because they
will still get replaced with
other cells?

Marjuhn, just like how healthy you Ah, thank you sir.
are, cells need to be healthy also.
They are our building blocks. If
they won’t be healthy you cannot
function normally.

So class, are there any questions? No sir.
