-Sharing of ideas
 -Listen to the teacher
-Minimize the noise
-Be responsible
-Time management

Awesome!
With that, I am expecting everybody to apply the
standard while doing the activity.

c. Groupings
I will divide you into 3 groups.

Yes, Ma’am.
d. Giving instruction
Now, let’s have an activity. In this activity, you are
going to analyze the given diagram and answer the
given guide questions. Every group have a
representative to go in front to explain their answer.

Did you understand?

 Guide Questions:
1. How many phases are in the cell cycle as shown in
the diagram?

abstractions about the lesson
(Elaborate) What is cell cycle? Anyone? Cell cycle is a series of events that takes
place in a cell as it grows and divides.
(15 minutes) The cell cycle is a four-stage process, in
which the cell increases in size, copies
its DNA, prepares to divide and
divides.

Exactly! We have two stages of cell cycle, who can

give me the first stage of cell cycle?
Interphase Ma’am.

How about the second stage of cell cycle? Yes?

Mitotic phase or Cell Division Ma’am.

Now, who can define interphase?

Interphase is the interval between two

cell divisions. During this stage, the
cell is not dividing; it merely grows.
The chromosomes double or replicate

place.
Based on the diagram, the cell cycle containing what?

cycle takes 24 hours on average.

Once again, based on the diagram, what are the sub-

stages of interphase?

Now, what is First gap period or G1?

First gap period or G1, Synthesis
period or S phase, Second gap period
or G2.
Precisely! How about the Synthesis period or S
phase? First gap period or G1 is where cells
grow continuously and prepare for
DNA replication. During this phase,
cells are metabolically active and copy
essential organelles and biochemical
molecules such as proteins.

Synthesis period or S phase is takes up

the responsibility of duplication of
DNA from 2N to 4N and centrosome
that we found in the inside the cell.
This centrosome contained centrioles
that are important for the cell division.

Exactly! How about the Second gap period or G2? Second gap period or G2 where the cell
grows more in size and rapidly. The
cells make more proteins and
organelles. The most abundance

cells for actual cell division or mitosis.
 Let’s take a look at the picture. This picture shows
the cell in the interphase period.

How about the outline of the big circle?

How about the small orange circle?

Centriole Ma’am.
How about the dark blue circle?
Cell membrane Ma’am.

What do you call to the green shade of the big circle? Nucleolus Ma’am.

Nucleus Ma’am.

Cytoplasm Ma’am.

Nuclear membrane Ma’am.

How about the outline of the dark blue circle?

None Ma’am.
How about the root-like in the dark blue circle?

clarifications?

let’s have an activity. I will divide you into 2 groups. `
What you are going to do is to:
