Preliminary Activities Good morning Grade 8! Good morning, Sir!
1. Prayer Before we begin our lesson, please stand, and lead the prayer In the name of the Father and of
Mr./Ms.__ the Son and the Holy Spirit
Amen.

2. Greeting My name is John Benedick Agunat and I am your teacher We are doing well so far sir!
today. How is your day going so far?

That’s great! I am also feeling good.

Arrange your chairs and sit properly.

3. Checking of Is there anyone absent?
Attendance If none, Very Good Class! None, sir.
A. Reviewing the Before we start our lesson let’s have a game activity called:
previous lesson or Picto-Word
presenting the new
lesson Do you know what picto-word is? Yes sir

In your groupings, I will show pictures and you are going to
guess a word by interpreting the combination of pictures and
letters in a given picto-word puzzle. Write your answers in your
whiteboards.

(EXPLAIN)

Very good! This activity shows how stages of mitosis divide.

Now take a look at this cell cycle.

How is it related to our activity?

The cell cycle is the process that a cell goes through as it grows,
does its job, and then divides to make new cells. It’s like a big Interphase is the stage before
circle because the cell keeps repeating the cycle to make more mitosis where the cell grows,
cells. copies its DNA, and prepares
for division. It consists of G1
What happens to interphase? (growth), S (DNA
replication), and G2
Interphase the getting ready part (preparation for mitosis).
This is where the cell spends most of its time. It’s like the calm
before the big event.

There are 3 phases in interphase as you can seen in the picture? G1,S,G2

G1 (Growth 1): The cell is growing and doing its regular job.

S (Synthesis): The cell makes a copy of its DNA so it can have

two sets when it divides.

G2 (Growth 2): The cell gets ready for division, making sure
everything is ready to go.

Next is Mitosis and this is the dividing part

This is when the cell actually splits to make two new cells.
Includes stages of mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and
telophase. That’s when the DNA divides and the cell separates
into two.
 Cytokinesis is the finishing up part

After mitosis, the cell splits completely into two new cells. It's
like cutting the finish line tape, and now two cells are ready to
start the cycle all over again!

So, the cell cycle is like a big circle: growth → preparation →

division → two new cells → then it starts all over again!
Now I want you to look at this picture

DNA
What do you think it is?

G. Finding practical DNA is the genetic material that carries the instructions for how
applications of all living things grow, develop, and function. It is like a
concepts and skills blueprint that determines traits such as eye color, height and
in daily living even how cells work.

How is it related to mitosis?

(ELABORATE)
For that I have a few questions
Mitosis can repair the wound
When you get a cut, how do your cells repair the wound?

Ok very good! The way you grow, change your appearance or

get you a wound. DNA and mitosis are always working
together.

I. Evaluating Now Identify what phase of mitosis is being shown by the

Learning figure?

METAPHASE

ANAPHASE
 PROPHASE

TELOPHASE
