 Let the students recall the concept of cell cycle by showing
A. Elicit diagram (refer to attachment 1) asking the following
questions:
1. Label the parts of the cell cycle.
2. Describe what happens in each stage of the cell cycle.
3. What happens to the cell during mitotic cell division?
There are two types of cell
division: mitosis and meiosis…
Meiosis is the type of cell division
that creates egg and sperm cells.
Mitosis is a fundamental process
of life. During the mitosis, a cell

two identical daughter cells

C. Explore
The students are grouped into four. Let each group describe
the
changes that takes place in every stage of mitosis.
Activity 1
Each group is given illustrations and meta cards where they
can write their observations on the changes that occur in
each stage of mitosis. Each group will describe the assigned
stage of mitosis to them:
Group 1 – Prophase
Group 2 – Metaphase
 Group 3 – Anaphase
Group 4 – Telophase
Guide questions:
1. What are the different stages of mitosis?
2. Describe each stage of mitosis.
(Localization; Instead of using meta cards. We will use
cookies to make and to describe each stages of the mitosis)

Representative of each group presents their output for

D. Explain Activities 1 Guide questions:
1. Why do cells divide?
Ans: Cells divide for many reasons.
Cells divide to replace old dead or damaged cells.
Cells divide so living things can grow
2. What are the important features of each stage of
mitosis?
Ans: Cell division
3. Define mitosis
Ans:a type of cell division that results in two daughter
cells each having the same number and kind of
chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of
ordinary tissue growth.

E. Elaborate The students sum-up the salient features of each stage of

mitosis and its importance.
Activity 2
The students present the characteristics of mitosis in table
form

F. Extend Explain the importance of cell division in medicine or in
agriculture through multimedia presentation.
 *Research on the importance of cell division in
medicine or in agriculture.
G. Evaluate Let the students synthesize their learning by answering the
following questions:
1. What are the four stages of mitosis?
2. What happen to the chromosomes in each stage of mitosis?
3. Do all cells undergo the mitotic cell division?
 * With the use of diagrams of the stages of mitosis,
identify each stage and describe what happen in each
stage. (refer to the attached sheet)
