Science Week 5 Seventh Grade

This lesson plan is for a 7th grade science class on cell division. The 45-minute lesson will [1] explain the cell cycle and cell division, [2] describe the levels of organization in cells, and [3] help students appreciate cell differentiation. To present the topic, the teacher will play a video of a single cell growing and dividing and introduce the main phases of the cell cycle: interphase and the mitotic phase. Students will learn about the three stages of interphase - G1, S, and G2 - and the two stages of the mitotic phase, mitosis and cytokinesis. A textbook and video clips will aid in explaining the process.

PRESENTATION
INTRODUCTION
The teacher plays a video clip of a cell and it grows and divide. Then he introduces the
topic and explains it. Cell Cycle is a series of events that take place in a cell as it grows
and divides. Through the cell cycle, organisms grow, develop, replace old or damaged
cells, and produce new cells.
STEP 2:
The teacher directs the learners’ attention into the two main phases in the cell cycle. He
tells them there are two main phases in the cell cycle – Interphase and Mitotic (mi TAH
tihk) phase.
STEP 3:

The teacher explains the Interphase to the leaners. He reminds that from the diagram it is observed
interphase makes most of the cell cycle. Newly produced cells begin to interphase with a period of rapid
growth, the cells get bigger. This is followed by the cellular activities such as making proteins. The
interphase is divided into three stages as shown in diagram.

a) G1 – During G1, a cell grows and carries out its normal cell functions like making enzymes that
help digest food

b) S stage – A cell continues to grow and copies its DNA. They are now identity strands of DNA that
ensure each new cell gets a copy of the original cell’s genetic information.

c) G2 – This is the final stage which is another period of growth and the final preparation for the
new mitotic phase.

Note: There should be video clip of this for a better understanding

STEP 4:

The teacher explains the Mitotic Phase to learners saying it consists of two stages:

a) Mitosis (mi TOH sus) – This is where the nucleus and its contents divide forming identical nuclei.
The sister chromatids of the duplicated chromosomes separate from each other.

b) Cytokinesis (si oh kuh NEE sus) – This is where the cytoplasm and its contents divide and form
new daughter cell. Daughter cells are the two cells that result from mitosis and cytokinesis.
Organelles that were made during interphase are divided between the daughter cells.

Note: There should be video clip of this for a better understanding
