Lesson Plan Mitosis (Day 1)

This lesson plan for 8th grade focuses on teaching students about mitosis, its stages, and significance in the cell-division cycle. The lesson employs the 7E model, including activities such as a 'Mitosis Mystery Puzzle', group representations of mitosis phases, and discussions on the importance of cell division. Students will also create storyboards and have the option to extend their learning through a comic strip assignment.

Lesson Plan: Mitosis (Day 1)

Grade: 8
Time: 45 minutes
Learning Competency: Compare mitosis and meiosis, and their role in the cell-division cycle
(S8LT-IVd-16).
Lesson Focus: Understanding the stages and significance of mitosis.

Objectives

1. Cognitive: Describe the stages of mitosis and explain its significance in growth, repair,
and maintenance.
2. Psychomotor: Create a diagram or model illustrating the phases of mitosis.
3. Affective: Appreciate the importance of mitosis in maintaining life by reflecting on how
cell division helps organisms heal and grow.

Lesson Proper (7E Model)

1. Elicit (5 mins)

 Connection to Digestive System:


o Ask: What happens when we eat food? Where does it go? (Quick recall of
digestion.)
o Follow-up: Our body needs more cells to absorb nutrients and repair tissues.
How do you think our body produces new cells?
o Introduce the topic: Today, we’ll learn about how our cells divide and make new
ones through a process called mitosis!

2. Engage (5 mins) – "Mitosis Mystery Puzzle"

 Show a scrambled set of four images (stages of mitosis) on the screen.


 Ask students to guess: What do these images represent? Can you put them in order?
 Provide a simple clue: It’s a process happening in our body all the time!
 Collect responses and introduce mitosis as the correct answer.

3. Explore (10 mins) – "Mitosis in Motion"

 Show a 5-minute animated video on mitosis. (Use a visually engaging video with clear
narration.)
 Group students into 4 teams and assign each team one phase of mitosis (Prophase,
Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase).
 Each group will create a quick frozen pose (tableau) representing their assigned stage.
 The class guesses the stage based on their poses.

4. Explain (10 mins) – "Mitosis Storyboard"


 Guide discussion on each phase using visual diagrams and gestures to reinforce
understanding.
 Provide a simple analogy: Mitosis is like photocopying a paper—the same information
is copied into new cells!
 Each student creates a mini storyboard with 4 boxes to illustrate mitosis in sequence.

5. Elaborate (5 mins) – "Why Mitosis Matters"

 Ask: Why do we need mitosis?


 Show images of wound healing, plant growth, and hair regrowth.
 Discuss how mitosis helps us grow, heal, and maintain our bodies.

6. Evaluate (5 mins) – "Mitosis Quiz Show"

 Conduct a quick game using flashcards:


o Show an image or question about mitosis.
o Students answer by raising color-coded cards (A, B, C, D).
 Ask a reflection question: How would life be different without mitosis? (Affective)

7. Extend (Optional for Homework) – "Mitosis Comic Strip"

 Assign students to draw a simple comic strip showing mitosis happening in the body
(e.g., healing a wound, growing taller).
