V. Procedure

Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

A. Daily Routine
1. Customary Greetings

Good Morning Class! Good Morning Ma’am!

Before anything else,

let us first stand up
and start our class
with a prayer.

2. Checking of
attendance None Ma’am!

Who are absent today?

Very Good!
3. Classroom
Rules/standards
Before we start our 1. Sit Properly
lesson for today, 2. Listen to teacher
what are the 3. Raise your right hand
 classroom rules and if you want to talk
regulations? in the class
4. Respect each other

B. Elicit
Before we are going
to proceed in our
discussion let us
first a short review
on what we have
discussed yesterday.

What have we
discussed yesterday?

I will post picture

and identify the
different organelles
involve in cell
division.

Are you ready?

C. Engage
(Show a video clip of
Naruto doing the Kage
Bushin Technique- or the
shadow clone of ninja)

Are you familiar with

the character in the Yes Ma’am!
video?

Who is in the picture? Naruto! Doing the Kage

As you have observed, he Bushin Technique
replicated himself many
times. Can you do the No ma’am!
same?

Well off course not, but Cells (answers may vary)

do you know something
that can clone
themselves?

Good idea!
What do you think
reproduction of cells in
our body is essential or
important?
Because that allows
organisms to grow, heal,
develop and keep from dying
for as long as possible.

Very good!

What do you call this Mitosis Ma’am!

 cell division?

That’s right!

D. Explore
Now we are going to find
out how mitosis take
place in our body by
doing the following
activity.

I will be grouping you

into four (4) groups. I
will give envelope in
each group. Inside the
envelope are pieces of
jigsaw puzzle. I will
give you 3 minutes to
arrange the puzzle and
identify the specific
image you form.

Okay times up!

What have you noticed The pictures represent the

in the pictures class? different processes involve
in cell division mitosis.
That’s right!

I have here a video

explaining the cell
division mitosis for
you to understand how
cells divide and
multiply. Then, each
group will take down
notes on the important
details that take
place in their
assigned stage of the
cell division mitosis.

After watching, each

group will discuss to
the class the
important processes
involve in their
respective stage.

Did you understand Yes Ma’am!

class?

E. Explain
 Did you understand the
video clip class? Yes Ma’am!

Now, may I ask

volunteers in each group
to discuss the important
events that take place
in each stage of the
cell division mitosis.

You must discuss the

different important
events that takes place
in each stage of mitosis
through role play, news
reporting, and dance.

So, group yourself

according to your
interest from the given
activities that I gave a (Students group according to
while ago. their interests)

Who wants to read the (Group Report/ Differentiated

Activities)
rubric?

F. Elaborate
How did you come up with
that spectacular report?

2. Completeness- 10

Now let us see if you

really understand our Prophase,Metaphase,
Anaphase and Telophase
lesson today through a
game.

I will give each group

a flashcard for you to
write your answers.
And each group will
have a footprint. Each
group will put their
footprints in the
starting line. What
you are going to is to
identify the correct
