Sub-tasks for Competency in Focus:
1. Differentiate plant and animal cells according to presence
of certain organelles.
2. Locate the specific organelles of plant and animal cells.
3. Internalize why the cell is considered the basic structural
functional unit of all organisms.
Learning Outcomes:
At the end of the lesson, the learners are expected to differ
from animal cell, in terms of its function, location, similarities a

Lesson Outline Materials

Elicit ( Access prior knowledge)
. Recall previous lesson by "4 pics 1 word" (pictures of different cells, tissues,
organs and systems) pictures
. A set of pictures will be shown and the learners will provide the right word projector,
that captures the essence of the set of pictures
Engage ( Get the students' minds focused on the topic)
. The class will be divided into small groups and pictures of cell organelles will
shown. Let each group try to guess what's the picture all about ( Picture analys pictures
. Guide Questions: projector,
1. What is the basic unit of life?
2. Can you give examples of living cells? Give at least 5 examples…
Explore ( Provide the students with a common experience)
Comparing plant and animal cells by "Venn Diagram" Manila
. Each group will be given factsheets and photos on the different organelles of paper,
plant and animal cells. factsheets,
Task: photos,
. The learners will familiarize structure/appearance of each organelle by masking
referring it on the given factsheets. After which, identify the similarities and tape
differences in both cells, including the function of each organelle.
Explain ( Teach the concept. Should include interaction between teacher and
learners)
. Four (4) groups will be asked to present their outputs to the class.
 . Guide Questions: Laptop,
1. What structures/organelles are found only in plant cells? projector,
2. What organelles are present only in animal cells?
3. What organelles can be found in both cells?
4. Why the cell is considered the basic structural and functional unit of all
organisms?
. The learners should be able to explain the function of each organelle in plant
and animal cells that have found on the activity.
Elaborate( Students apply the information learned)
. The teacher will discuss the differences between plant and animal cells PPT,
according to the presence and absence of certain organelles. projector,
. Then the learners will be asked to locate the different organelles on plant and laptop
animal cells.
Evaluate ( How will you know the learners learned the concept?)
. The learners will be given enough time to illustrate and label the plant cell and jelly stick
animal cell using a localized food products like cooked gulaman, colored gulaman,
jelly, and biscuit. biscuit
Extend ( Deepen conceptual understanding through use in the new context)
. While the learners illustrating the organelles. They will then give a brief descri bondpaper
on each organelle based on their understanding. pen
