on their Steno notebook,labeled as Quiz #4 . Phase: Cell Division) for them to know how the
cell division was discovered. Then, as: If you
were the one who discovered the cell division,
what name would you give it?
¨ Post pictures of the different stages of cell
division on one corner of the board and their
labels on the opposite corner. Ask the students
to match the stage with the picture.
¨ Have the students watch How a wound heals
itself in this

is the role of mitosis in wound healing?
¨ Let the students read the section (Mitosis: page
277).
¨ Let the students differentiate the cytokinesis
between animals and plants.
¨ Assignment: Answer Quick QUIZ 16-2 on your
Steno notebook, labeled as Quiz #5.

Subject Meiosis Formation of Human Sex Cells

Matter/Topic Stages of Meiosis
Day 3
Discussion/ ¨ Let the students watch the video in this
Activities link :https://youtu.be/VzDMG7ke69g to show the
stages of meiosis and their description.
¨ Present a graphic organizer to discuss the stages
of meiosis.
¨ Using the figure of prophase I on page 279 of the
textbook, emphasize that synapsis and crossing-
over occurs during prophase I.
¨ Let the students view the animation in this link:
https://youtu.be/4YfDq8rPDdM
¨ Ask: What is the significance of crossing-over to
organisms that perform sexual reproduction?
Day 4
¨ Using figure 16-7, discuss how sex cells are
produced through gametogenesis. Also,
differentiate spermatogenesis and oogenesis.
¨ To reinforce the lesson on spermatogenesis and
oogenesis, have the students watch the
animations in these links:
Spermatogenesis-https://youtu.be/6fBa8UqEano
Oogenesis- https://youtu.be/KYM_EX6b4kU
¨ Let the students answer Quick QUIZ 16-3 on
their Steno notebook labeled as Quiz #6
¨ Using Figure 16-8 and table 16-1, discuss the
similarities of mitosis and meiosis.
¨ Ask: what happens when cells divide
uncontrollably? Have the students watch the
video on cancer in this link:

¨ Assignment: Answer Quick QUIZ 16-4 on your
Steno notebook, labeled as Quiz #7.
