I. CURRICULUM CONTENT, STANDARDS, AND LESSON COMPETENCIES

A. Content Standard Learners learn that: Cells are the basic unit of life and mitosis, and meiosis are the basic
forms of cell division.
B. Performance By the end of the quarter, learners explain that there are two types of cell division, and
Standard that reproduction can occur through sexual or asexual processes.
C. Learning The learners recognize that cells reproduce through two types of cell division, mitosis
Competencies and and meiosis, and describe mitosis as cell division for growth and repair.
Objective
Lesson Objective 1: Describe the different phases/stages in mitosis.
Unpacking of Learning Objective:
At the end of lesson, the learners should be able to
1. Explain the meaning of mitosis.
2. Identify and explain the different phases of mitosis as well as their processes.
3. Appreciate the importance of mitosis to all living organisms.

D. Content Stages in Mitosis

E. Integration Sustainable Development Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-Being): Cellular reproduction as
fundamental to human health

III.TEACHING AND
LEARNING
PROCEDURES
A. Activating 1. Daily Routine:
Prior a. Opening prayer
Knowledge b. Checking of attendance
I. (Minds and
Moods) SHORT REVIEW
A. Recall the important organelles involved in the cell cycle process. Identify
the type of cell and its parts and write your answer in the box provided
 B. Cycle of Life. Instruction: The teacher will present the pictures and let the
students answer the process questions.

Process Questions:
a. What have you observed in the picture? Can you compare it with yourself
during your childhood to your picture now?
b. Which do you think has the greatest number of cells: the adult, the child or
both have the same number?

Process Question: Have you experienced having a wound in your skin? How is
the healing process possible?
B. Establishing a 1. Lesson Purpose Essential Questions:
purpose for a. What kind of cell divides by mitosis?
lesson b. Where does the mitosis division take place?
(Aims)
c. Why mitosis division necessary for the development of an organism?

Essential Concept Activity: Identify the two types of cell division being described in
the following:
__ __ __ __ __ __ __ 1. It is the division of cells in the reproductive process.
__ __ __ __ __ __ __ 2. It is cell division for growth
C. Developing
and
Deepening C. Learner’s Guide
Understanding Mitosis divides a eukaryotic cell’s chromosomes into two identical daughter nuclei,
(Tasks and wherein mitotic cell division produces the cells needed for growth, development,
Thoughts) and tissue repair. Mitosis is divided into four stages

Present the following situations:

1. Say: I’m going to show you a series of pictures and tell me what you observe
in each case.
First situation:

2. What do you observe in the first picture? ( Manny Pacquiao has a bleeding
wound near his eyes.)
3. What about in the second picture? Is Manny still wounded? ( His wound
already healed.)
Second situation:
SUB-TOPIC 1: STAGES OF MITOSIS
1. Explicitation
A. Ask the students to answer the following questions:
a. What is mitosis, and why is it important?
____________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________
b. What are the steps of mitosis, and what happens in each?
____________________________________________________________

B. Stages of Mitosis. Ask the students to watch the video about mitosis and
meiosis in the link provided:
https://www.mometrix.com/academy/cellular-division-mitosis-and meiosis

From the video provided, draw a cell in each of the following stages of mitosis.
Provide the major events in each stage

From the video provided, draw a cell in each of the following stages of mitosis.
Provide the major events in each stage.
D. Making Present the following situation to the class:
Generalization 1. Suppose that you have a cut on your arm or a wound on your legs, what will
s happen if mitosis do not take place?
(Abstraction) (Answer, You’re becoming prone to infections and disease, because there will be no
replacement of cell that’s why mitosis is very important).

3-2-1 Exit Card. Have students list the 3 things they have learned today, 2 things they
would like to learn more about, and 1 question they have in mind.
