Before cell division, the cell’s
DNA has to undergo series of
duplication. Do you know how
this DNA duplicates or copies
itself? *Introduce the Zipper

Essential Question: How does
the DNA replication take place?
Activity 2 “ DNA make DNA”
(refer to pp. 269-271 of LM)
Answer the guide questions in
the activity
How does the structure of DNA
molecules help contribute to
the great variety of life that
THURSDAY
Demonstrate the process of
transcription.
pp.199-202
pp. 273-274
How is DNA replicated?
Introduce the car factory
analogy to students (refer to
page 272 of LM)
Ask the students, “Did you find
this car making analogy helpful?
How does the information in
DNA, from the nucleus
transferred to the ribosome?
Essential Questions: How the
DNA makes RNA?
Activity 3 “What’s the
message?” (refer to p. 273-275
of LM).
Let the students give functions
of the different parts of the male
and female reproductive system.
 How the structure of DNA does
enables the molecule to be
easily transcribed. Why is this
FRIDAY
Demonstrate the process of Summative
translation Test
pp.203-206
pp. 275-279
How is DNA transcribed?
Proteins control the activities
of the cell, as well as the life of
the entire organism. How does
DNA make a unique protein
that will perform a special
function? Would you like to
find out how the message of
the mRNA is translated to
proteins?
Essential Questions: How does
the process translation or
protein synthesis take place?
Activity 4 “Relay the
message?” (refer to p. 276 -
277 of LM)
