Preliminary
1. Greetings Good morning, class!
Good morning, ma’am!
2. Prayer Please remain standing for our prayer.
(The student led the prayer.)
3. Securing Please pick up any trash under your chairs
cleanliness and arrange them properly before taking
your seat.
(The students pick up the pieces of
trash and arrange their chairs
properly)
You may now be seated.
4. Checking of Class Secretary, have you checked the
Attendance attendance? Is anyone absent today?
(The class secretary will state if there
are any absences.)
Thank you for that.
5. Classroom Before we proceed, let us all be reminded
Management of our class rules. Everybody kindly read.
Class Rules :
H – Hands up to be recognized
before speaking.
E – Engage by listening and not
interrupting.
A – Avoid speaking in chorus; take
turns.
R – Respect others by being mindful
of your words and actions.
ELICIT
A. Reviewing of We have learned about the cell cycle and
previous lesson how cells prepare for division. What do
you remember about interphase?
The cell grows, DNA is replicated and
the cell prepares for mitosis!
Very good! Today, we will explore what
happens after interphase—when the
actual division begins.

new skills #1 The cells must divide to replace the
damaged cells.
Exactly! Mitosis plays a key role in growth,
repair, and maintenance.
Before we proceed to our discussion, here
are our lesson objectives for today’s
lesson. Everybody read.
At the end of the 45 minute period,
the students should be able to:
1. Define mitosis
2. Explain its significance in
growth and repair.
3. Identify the stages of
mitosis.
EXPLAIN
E. Discussing new First, what do you think mitosis is?
concepts and practicing It’s when a cell divides, helps the body
new skills #2 grow and replaces dead or damaged
cells.
Good! Mitosis is a process where one cell
divides into two identical cells. Now, why
do you think our body needs mitosis?
In order for us to grow, heal wound or
to replace damaged or dead cells.
Without mitosis, we wouldn’t grow, and our
body couldn’t repair itself. Now, let’s go
through the stages.
Look at this image. What do you notice in
the first stage, Prophase?
The chromosomes are visible.
The nuclear membrane is
disappearing. Spindle fiber starts
forming.
Yes! In Prophase, chromosomes
condense, and the nuclear membrane
starts to break down. Why do you think the
nuclear membrane disappears?
So the chromosomes can move and
to prepare for division.
Right! Now, let’s move to Metaphase.
What do you see happening here?
The chromosomes are lining up in the
middle and they are attached to
something.
The chromosomes line up at the center,
attached to spindle fibers. Why do you
think they line up in the middle?
So they can be divided equally.
Exactly! Now, what do you observe in
Anaphase?
The chromosomes are splitting apart
This ensures that each new cell will get a and are moving to opposite sides.
complete set of chromosomes. What do
you think happens in Telophase?
The nuclear membrane comes back
and the cell almost split.
Pecisely! The nuclear membrane reforms,
and the cell starts to split. What do we call
the final step when the cytoplasm divides?
Cytokinesis.
Very good! And what do we end up with?
Two identical daughter cells.
You got it! In mitosis, there are two
identical daughter cells produced. But
before we proceed to our activity, let s
watch a video about the phases of mitosis.
