Lesson #1

Subject Area: Biology

Objective: Given a computer with Internet access, students will identify the stages of
cell division with 100% accuracy.

Science GPS:
• SB1 Students will analyze the nature of the relationships between structures and
functions in living cells.
• SB2 Students will analyze how biological traits are passed on to successive
generations.

Technology Integration QCC:

11 Creates, manages, and utilizes information using spreadsheet tools and
applications.

Materials and Equipment:

1. LCD projector
2. cell mitosis video
3. Computers with Internet access
4. science notebooks
5. printer
6. butcher paper
7. markers
8. tape

Technology Integration:
The Internet will be used to access the FSU Mitosis tutorial, Wisconsin Online tutorial,
and the Quia quiz.

Procedures:
1. Using the LDC projector, the teacher will display the video of cell mitosis.
2. After viewing the video, the teacher will use butcher paper to create a KWL chart.
The class will then complete the K and W columns of the chart. The teacher will
post it in the room.
3. The teacher will introduce the essential questions
4. The teacher will introduce the performance task
5. Students will be assigned a computer and directed to the following websites –

 At the molecular expressions and Wisconsin online websites, students will
complete the interactive tutorials.
6. Students will then complete an assessment at
http://www.quia.com/cb/126953.html
7. Students will print their assessment results and add it to their science notebooks.

An interactive mitosis tutorial.

Learner Participation:
While creating the KWL chart, students will participate in a class discussion. While
students are perusing the websites and completing their assessments, students will be
working independently.

Evaluating Student Performance:

The students will be assessed with this quiz.

Extensions:
For students that finish early, they will be instructed to visit the Mitosis movies website.

Accommodation:
The students with 504 plans will be given extra time to complete the worksheet if needed.

Evaluating Media Performance:

I will begin evaluating the media by using it myself. Then, I will monitor student
reactions as they use the media.

Evaluating Instructor Performance:

I will consider my performance successful if students find the lesson engaging and
students are able to meet the objectives and the lesson progresses smoothly.
