activity just like that game.
First, I will group you into
four groups. Each group will
be given a 1 whole cartolina
paper with pictures in it.
Attached with it is jumbled
letters. All you need to do is
guess the correct answer
through all the pictures.
When you already guess the
correct answer, paste the
jumbled letters inside the
box. After answering, show
your answer in the whole
class. I will only give you 2
minutes in answering it. Do
you understand? - Students will answer the

time starts now! - Students will show their
- Time is up! answers in front.
- Very good students! Let us
all give ourselves a round of
applause. - Students will say yes.
- Now, did you guess what
would be our topic today? - Ivan Mir: Nucleic Acid Miss.
- Okay! What is it Ivan Mir?
- Very good Ivan! Thank you
for answering.
- Now, today we will be
discussing about Nucleic
Acids.

d. Discussion: - Students will listen in the

will say: “None miss!”
- Students will open and read

- Is there any questions?
Reactions?
e. Activity:
- Now, we will have an
activity. The title of these
activity are “Build Me” and
“Form Me”. Your first activity
is inside this pink envelope.
All of the materials that you
will be needing is inside this
envelope. Also all the
procedures are inside. All
you need to do is follow all
the procedures inside the
envelope. You cannot
proceed to the second
activity unless you are done
with the other. Your second
activity is inside this yellow
 envelope. Same as the
other, all of the materials
you will be using is inside.
- Again, your group and your
group mates are the ones
you have a while ago. I will
only give you 10 minutes for
each of these activity. - Yes miss!
- Do you understand? - Students will go to their group
- Go to your group now. And and do the activity.
the time starts now! - Students will show and
- Time is up! explain their models of DNA.

activity? - Jezreel: Our activity a while
- Yes Jezreel? ago is very easy.
- Okay! Thank you Jezreel.
- Since we all know that in
doing that activity, we
should be extra careful in
pasting each nitrogenous

partners because one
mistake may lead to any
kind of mutation. - Students: No miss! Or yes

decisions in life, we should
be extra careful or we
should be very cautious in
doing decisions because
these can affect our life in
the future. For example,

already understand our
discussion, please get ¼
sheet of paper. - Students will answer the

molecule composed of
deoxyribonucleotide units.
- 2. These are molecules that
code for hereditary traits by
controlling the production of
proteins.
- 3.-4. Give two differences of
DNA from RNA. - Students: Yes miss!
- Is everybody finish?
- Ok pass your paper in the
center aisle. At the count of
five. One, two, three, four,
and five. Pass your papers
in front at the count of five.
One, two, three, four, and
five.

V. ASSIGNMENT:
- For your assignment, write it
in a ½ crosswise.
1. What is chemical
reaction?
2. Give at least five types of
chemical reactions.
Explain and give
examples of each
chemical reactions.
- Do you understand? - Yes miss!
- Ok everybody stand up. - Goodbye and thank you Miss
Goodbye class! Estimada!
