Activity# 1 Where do I belong?

The teacher will let the student classify the words in the
box. Whether it belongs to DNA or RNA or both.

Activity 2: Mix and Match!
The teacher will write the nitrogenous base of DNA and
RNA in a piece of paper. Eight (8) students will go in front,
each one of the students should have a piece of paper.
The teacher will let the students find their partners based
on the content of the piece of paper that they were holding
Rules of Base Pairing
C. Presenting DNA RNA
examples/instan Adenine - Thymine Adenine – Uracil
ces of the Cytosine - Guanine Cytosine – Guanine
lesson Processing Questions;

1. What are the nitrogenous bases under DNA and RNA?

2. Are they related with each other?

After the question and answer portion, the teacher will

state the lesson and the lesson objectives.

D. Discussing new Through PowerPoint presentation, The teacher will discuss

concepts and the definition of DNA, RNA and protein

 Activity 3: Answer Me!

The teacher will provide a picture and pick a student is

going to answer the question at the back of the picture.

skills #1
(Explore)

Fill in the blanks with suitable words to compare the DNA

and RNA.

DNA RNA
A nucleic acid called A nucleic acid called
Deoxyribonucleic acid. Ribonucleic acid.
The sugar in DNA is The sugar in RNA is
Deoxyribose. Ribose.
DNA is Double stranded. RNA is Single stranded.
The teacher will introduce a new concept which is
connected to the previous one.
- Through the use of chart, the teacher will discuss the
structure and role of DNA and RNA.
- The teacher will provide a short video clip for additional
information.

Activity 4: Let’s work it out!

E. Discussion new
concepts and The teacher will group the class into 3 (three).
practicing new Each group will have an activity kit.
skills # 2
(Explore) - Each group should have a leader, secretary and
representative.
- Students will be given 5 minutes to draw the structure
given to them.
- The teacher will ask the students to present their output in
class.
Processing Questions:
1. What can you say about the structure that you
draw?
2. How can you differentiate it from the two?
F. Developing Activity 5: True or False

(EXPLAIN) 1. DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose, while RNA
contains the sugar ribose, TRUE
2. RNA contains the nitrogenous base uracil instead of
thymine. TRUE
 3. DNA and RNA both contain the nitrogenous bases
adenine, cytosine and guanine. TRUE
4. Adenine pairs with guanine in both DNA and RNA.
FALSE
5. DNA is primarily found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cell.
TRUE
