EDU 110
Grade 9
Objective:
1. Students will be able to demonstrate their understanding of prokaryotic and
eukaryotic cells, given PowerPoint presentation and textbook, while
presenting their own diagrams with labels with 90% accuracy.
2. Students will be able to present the differences between a prokaryotic and
eukaryotic cells and show examples for each with 100% accuracy.
Standards:
PO 2. Compare the form and function of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and their
cellular components.
Materials: Campbell Biology Textbook, PowerPoint presentation based on chapter:
The Cell, construction paper, colored pencils, models of both eukaryotic and
prokaryotic cells.
Anticipatory Set:
For bell work, students will come up with terms to describe a cell. After discussing
their responses, the class will have a discussion about how they believe a
eukaryotic cell differs from a prokaryotic cell.
Teaching/Instructional Input/Model/Check for Understanding:
1. Go through PowerPoint of The Cell and explain major key points to students.
2. Explain the different cell parts and their functions.
3. Show a Venn diagram of the differences and similarities between eukaryotic
and prokaryotic cells.
4. Go through each part of its cells and reinforce theirs functions using a model
of the cells that allow each part to be taken off and put back together. Have
students participate in taking about parts and putting them in their rightful
place.
5. Show visual examples of organisms that are prokaryotic or eukaryotic. Have
students try to identify which is which.
Guided practice:
1. Students will have 1 minute to choose their groups of 4.
2. Students will then be instructed to create diagrams for both the prokaryotic
and eukaryotic cells on a blank sheet of construction paper.
3. Students will able to use their textbook and online sources (must be cited on
diagram).

4. The diagrams of each must have the cell parts labeled (in color) and include a
brief description of the function of that part.
5. Student will have the remaining time of the period to complete diagrams.
6. Students will present their diagrams to the class the following period.

Closure:
Congratulate students on their diagrams and put up diagrams on the classroom
walls. Have a brief discussion on the differences of the two types of cells to
reinforce the students understanding.
Evaluation:
Score each student from 1-4 on each common core science standards. Score 1
being the weakest and 4 being the strongest.
