c. Motivation
Show a picture of a cell.

d. Presentation of the Lesson

Our topic for this afternoon will be all about Plant and Animal Cell.
 e. Discussion
What is cell? Are all cells the same? If not, in what ways are they different?

CELL – the basic unit structure and function of all living things capable of performing
basic life processes.
- Come in a great variety of shapes and sizes.
In 1665, an Englishman Robert Hooke used an early compound microscope to look at a
thin slice of cork, a plant material. Under the microscope, cork seemed to be made of a
thousands of tiny, empty chambers, Hooke called the chambers “cells”.
In 1838, German Botanist Matthias Schleiden Concluded that all plants were made of
cells.
In 1839, German Biologist Theodor Schwann Stated that all animals were made of cells.
In 1855, the German Physician Rudolf Virchow concluded that new cells could be
produced only from the division of existing cells.

CELL THEORY
 All living things are composed of cells.
 Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things.
 New cells are produces from existing cells.
TWO CATEGORIES OF CELLS
 Prokaryotic Cells – cells that do not contain nuclei.
- Have genetic material that is not contained in a nucleus.
- Example of organism that are prokaryotes is Bacteria.
 Eukaryotic Cells – cells that contain nuclei.
- Contain a nucleus in which their genetic material is
separated from the rest of the cell.
- Larger and more complex that the prokaryotic cells.
- Some eukaryotes are single-celled organisms (Example:
Protist) and some are multi-cellular organism (Example:
plants and animals).

f. Generalization
 Based on our discussion, how different is the Prokaryotic Cell than the Eukaryotic
Cell?
 How did Robert Hooke discover the cells?

g. Application
Let the student do the activity by pair.
Each pair must make a timeline from the discovery of cells and the cell theory.
