III. Procedure

Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

A. Preliminary activities

1. Prayer
Okay class before we start our lesson please
stand and let us pray. Yumi, please lead the prayer.
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy
name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it
is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive
us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass
against us; and lead us not into temptation but deliver us
from evil. Hail Mary, full of grace.

Thank you Yumi for the prayer.

2. Greetings

“Good morning class!” Good Morning, Sir Ramos!

“Before we start, please stand up and do (The Students will do)

15 jumping jacks. ”

3. Checking of Attendance
 “Checking of Attendance by row (The Students will do.)
Row 1 are there absentees? How about Row
2, Row 3, Row 4 and Row 5:

Very Good! And for that, kindly give (The Students will respond.)
yourselves a “Good Job clap”

"G Double O D J O B, Good Job, Good Job.”

4. Checking of Assignment

Please bring out your assignment and (The Students will do.)
pass it forward.

5. Review of the Past Lesson

Class, what topic did we take up last Our lesson yesterday is all about “Cell Structure and
meeting? Function.”

Alright!

What are the three main parts of the cell?

Raise your hands if you know the answer.
Student 1: Cytoplasm

Verygood! Next?
Student2: Cell membrane

Excellent! And lastly?

Student 3: Nucleus

Correct!

B. Motivation

Okay class before we start our lesson for

today, I will divide the class into two groups and we
are going to play a jigsaw. Does anyone know the Student: Me sir! It is a puzzle sir!
game?

Yes you are correct!

So I have two pictures (Animal and plant cell) here so
we will divide the class into two groups, the first group
that will finish the puzzle first wins the game.

Are you ready class? Then let us begin. Yes! We are ready!

Group 1 wins (Animal cell)

Okay! Congratulations to group 1. So group 1 what do Animal cell sir!

you think that puzzle you solve?

Wow! Yes, it is correct. That image in the puzzle is an

animal cell.

C. Sharing of Lesson Objectives

So, let's get started on our lesson Yes Sir!

objectives, which we'll need to achieve by the
end of the class discussion. Let's all read the
lesson objectives.

At the end of lesson, the students are

expected to:
● Describe a plant cell
● Describe an animal cell
● Identify differences between plant and animal
cells
● Create a Venn diagram comparing the two types
of cells.

Thank you for reading the lesson

objectives.

D. Presentation/ Discussion

Okay class, first of all before we start our discussion,

we will watch some clips of our topic.

PLANT VS ANIMAL CELLS

(The students will watch)
(Present the powerpoint)

Okay class, from the video that you've watched what

is an animal cell?
Animal cells consist of a cell membrane, nucleus and a
fluid cytoplasm. In this course you need to learn more
about the functions of the cell membrane and the nucleus.
You also need to learn about two other organelles which
Very good! are found in the cytoplasm of animal cells.

Now, what is a plant cell?

Plant cells have a nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm and

mitochondria too, but they also contain the following
structures: Cell wall – A hard layer outside the cell
membrane, containing cellulose to provide strength to the
Correct! plant.

Okay class as you’ve said in your answers, both plant

and animal cells have the same three main parts: cell
membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus. However, they
differ in a number of ways. See figures 16.6 and 16.7
Figure 16.6

Figure 16.7
a. Plant cells and animal cells differ greatly in
size and shape..
b. Plant cells are surrounded by an outer
protective cell wall which is absent in animal
cells. The cell wall is relatively rigid, while the
cell membrane is elastic. The rigidity of the cell
wall permits plants cells to maintain their
shape.
c. Vacuoles in animal cells are small and vary in
their uses: some are for storage food or water,
others are for excretion of waste materials. In
plant cells, the initial many small vacuoles
combine to form bigger vacuoles. Eventually,
the mature plant cells may have but a single
large centrally located vacuole with the
cytoplasm confined at their sides. The large
plant vacuoles function for intracellular
digestion, space filling, and control of cell
turgor.
d. The rounded, oval or irregularly shaped bodies
called plastids are absent in animal cells. The
most well known plastids in plant cells. The
most well known plastids in plants are the
green pigmented or chlorophyll-bearing
chloroplasts. Another kind of plastid called
chromoplastid contains two types of
pigments: carotenes xanthophylls (bright
yellow and brown colors).
e. Located in the cytoplasm just outside the
nucleus is the centrosome, which plays an
important role in animal cell division.
