I. OBJECTIVES
A. Content Standards B. Performance Standards C. Learning Competencies
The learners should be able to The learners should be able to: 1. Compare mitosis and meiosis, and their role in cell-division. S8LT-
demonstrate an understanding of: 1. report on the importance of IVd-16
1. how cells divide to produce new cells variation in plant and animal 2. Explain the significance of meiosis in maintaining chromosome
2. meiosis as one of the processes breeding number. S8LT-IVe-17
producing genetic variations of the D. Specific Objectives
Mendelian Pattern of Inheritance At the end of the lesson the learners should be able to:
1. Describe the events that take place during the Mitosis.
2. Discuss the importance of Mitosis in living organisms.
3. Make a model of the process of Mitosis.

 The following questions will be asked to the
students:
1. Why do cells need to divide and reproduce?
2. What happens in each phase of mitosis?
What will happen if the cells abnormally divides?

V. REMARKS
 The engage, explore and explain part of the lesson will be executed on February 24 while the elaborate and evaluate part will be executed on February 25 because the
lesson is long.
VI. REFLECTION Reflect on your teaching and assess yourself as a teacher. Think about your student’s progress
this week. What works? What else needs to be done to help the students learn? Identify what
help your instructional supervisors can provide for you so when you meet them, you can ask
them relevant questions.
A. No. of learners who earned 80% in the evaluation
B. No. of learners who require additional activities for remediation
C. Did the remedial lessons work? No. of learners who have caught up with the lesson

D. No. of learners who continue to require remediation

E. Which of my teaching strategies work well? Why did these work?
F. What difficulties did I encounter which my principal or supervisor can help me solve?
G. What innovations or localized materials did I used/discover which I wish to share with other
teachers?
