Lesson Plan in Grade 8 Biology
I. OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the period, students are expected to:
A. identify the different phases in mitotic cell division,
B. describe the processes involved in different phases in mitotic cell division, and
C. explain the importance of mitosis in the growth, development, and repair of somatic cells.
II. SUBJECT MATTER:

UNIT: IV- Living things and their environment
Module-5 Cellular Reproduction and Genetics
TOPIC: Stages of Mitosis
A. Science Concepts:
A cell follows the same general pattern of birth, growth, and aging as an entire
organism. The body maintains healthy tissue by constantly replacing dying cells with
new ones. There are two types of cell division in eukaryotic cells namely: mitosis and
meiosis. Mitosis is a type of cell division that produces two identical cells with the same
number of chromosomes. Mitosis is divided into four phases or stages: prophase,
metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
B. Processes/Skills:
 Identifying, describing, and explaining.
C. Value focus:
 Respect of one’s life and uniqueness.
D. References: Grade VIII Science Learner’s Module page 321-323
E. Materials:
 Powerpoint Presentation, Science Videos, Laptop, Egg, manila paper, cut-out pictures
glue, pentel pen.

sister chromatids apart and
towards the side of the cell.

 Telophase -During this stage,

the chromosomes reach the
sides of the cell and the cell
begins to divide.
