Lesson Plan

Teacher: Subject: Sneha Tharayil Life Science Grade: Time: 7th 11:20am-12:20pm

I: OBJECTIVES: The WHAT of the Curriculum

1: Lesson OBJECTIVE S!: 1. Students will identify and e plain the phases of mitosis 2. Students will demonstrate!model the phases of mitosis

": Curriculum ST#$%#&%S ST! and BE$C'(#&) P&O*ICIE$CIES BP! 1. c. c. Students "now the nucleus is the repository for genetic information in plant and animal cells. 1. e. Students "now cells di#ide to increase their num$ers through a process of mitosis% which results in two daughter cells with 1. f. Students "now that as multicellular organisms de#elop% their cells differentiate. Common Core Standards: 2. &etermine the central ideas or conclusions of a te t' pro#ide an accurate summary of the te t distinct from prior "nowledge (. )ollow precisely a multistep procedure when carrying out e periments% ta"ing measurements% or performing technical tas"s

II: METHODOLOGY: The HOW of the Curriculum

1: I$T&O%/CTIO$ and (OTIV#TIO$
1. Students will 3Thin"--air-Share3 to recall the stages of mitosis. 2. Students will recite the mnemonic to help them remem$er the stages of mitosis

": P&OCESS

1. Show 2itosis animation #ideo 2. 4uided -ractice: Students will then wor" in their la$ groups% to model the stages of mitosis using yarn% pipe clean
As students model the stages of mitosis% the teacher will guide students through each stage with #er$al instruction As students model the stages of mitosis% they will s"etch what the appearance of the cell0s1 in each stage

(. 5f time permits% students will also e amine stages of mitosis of onion root tip cells under the microscope 6. 5ndependent practice: Students will create a digital flip$oo"!animation of the stages of mitosis% using the i-ad app +. *losure: The class will $e $rought $ac" for a whole group discussion to re#iew the stages of mitosis
