LEARNING COMPETENCIES

B. HEREDITY : INHERITANCE & VARIATION

- describe the location of genes in chromosomes; (S9LT-Id-3)

I. OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson, the students are expected to:
- Identify the components of a DNA molecule (K)

II. LEARNING CONTENT

TOPIC: DNA MODEL
MATERIALS: bond paper, pen, marker, tape, Scissors
REFERENCES: Science Learners Module 51-52, Science Teachers Guide 40

III. PROCEDURE

A. ENGAGEMENT

1. Recall Activity: GUESS WHAT?

-Teacher will ask the students to give the meaning of the following abbreviation; a.) DNA b.) RNA
2. MIND PICK
- Teacher will ask students what material usually carries the genetic information why they possess such
characteristics. After which, teacher will direct students until they obtain the correct answer which is the
DNA. Then, teacher will ask them what is DNA?

B. EXPLORE
1. INVESTIGATORY ACTIVITY: ACTIVITY 9
Teacher will let the students to go to their groups, ask to perform Activity 6: DNA Modeling, page 51-52,
Science 9 Learners Manual

C. EXPLAIN
1. POST ACTIVITY DISCUSSION and INTERACTIVE DISCUSSION
After performing the activity, together with the students will check the activity
and answers to the guide questions. Then teacher will ask students about the
key concept of the activity as well as asking the students to identify the
components of DNA using the picture below to facilitate discussion

Then teacher will also ask the following questions to make the explanation interactive;
1. What is DNA? Who first discovered the DNA
2. Name the different components of DNA
3. Name the different parts of nucleotide
4. What are the pentose groups?
5. What are the nitrogenous groups?
KEY CONCEPTS TO EMPHASIZE:
DNA is composed of chains of nucleotides built on a sugar and phosphate backbone and wrapped around
each other in the form of a double helix. The backbone supports four bases: guanine, cytosine, adenine, and
thymine. Guanine and cytosine are complementary, always appearing opposite each other on the helix, as
are adenine and thymine. This is critical in the reproduction of the genetic material, as it allows a strand to
divide and copy itself, since it only needs half of the material in the helix to duplicate successfully.

D. ELABORATE
1. DNA MODEL and its components
-Using the available materials they could see, teacher will ask the students to make a DNA model with labels
identifying the components of DNA.

D. EVALUATE
