Lesson Plan in Cells

Year Level: Second Year Duration: 1 Hour I. Objectives

At the end of the session students are expected to: a. Describe the main parts of the cell and its individual functions. b. Differentiate prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. c. Appreciate the intricate structure and the difference of cells. II. Subject Matter a. Topic: Cell Structure and Classification b. References: BioInquiry (Making Connections in Biology) Pruitt, Nancy et. al. 2004 c. Materials: Visual aides, Manila papers, Pentel pens and Science II books. Learning Tasks A. Review / Motivation Recall the Cell Theory. Let the students unscramble a statement, cells all from pre -existing came cells B. Lesson Proper There are many different cells that do many different things. But all of these cells fall into one of the two main categories: prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells. Inside the cell, a variety of specialized structures called organelles carry out their functions for different cell activities. Activity : Divide the class into 5 groups, using their prior knowledge and other references ask the students to draw and label the parts of a prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell. As much as possible the drawing should be large enough to be seen by the class. Let them present it in front. 1. How are prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells similar? How are they different? 2. Describe the structure of a prokaryotic cell. 3. Describe the prominent structures of a prokaryotic cell. C. Generalization 1. Prokaryotic cells are relatively simple, with few internal structures. They have no nucleus; a single circular chromosome floats free in their cytosol. Externally, they may have cell walls, capsules, and flagella. They include the Bacteria and Archaea. 2. Eukaryotic cells have numerous internal structures. Nucleus Nucleolus Endoplasmic Reticulum Ribosomes Golgi Complex Vesicles

 D. Evaluation

Lysosomes and peroxisomes Mitochondria Chloroplasts Centrioles Cytoskeleton Externally, eukaryotic cells maybe bare or have cell walls, flagella or cilia.
