Liou Lesson Plan for the Week of 1/26-1/30

Monday (1/26)

Objectives

LP

LA

SWBAT:
Using pictures and or
descriptions identify
sequence and explain
the phases of mitosis
Identify the
characteristics of each
stage of the cell cycle,
including G1, S, G2
(interphase), M, phase
and cytokinesis

ENGAGE:
Review students on
DNA replication by
showing them a short
youtube video

EXPLORE:
Tie back the previous
activity on pg. 6 dividing
cells.
-Make the connection of
cells need to be
distributed equally, but
before cell division
occurs, chromosome
need to be duplicated.

Tuesday (1/27)

Wednesday (1/28)

**Enrichment Schedule
SWBAT:
Compare and contrast
mitosis and meiosis
Review G1, S, and G2
are known as
interphase and is the
longest phase of the
cell cycle
Cell division in the M
phase
The four phases of
mitosis (prophase,
metaphase, anaphase,
and telophase) and a
general description
daughter cells

SWBAT:
Cancer is the
uncontrolled growth
and division of cells
due to unregulated
progression through
the cell cycle
Checkpoints exist in
G1, G2, and M phase
to ensure the fidelity
of the cell cycle
Errors in DNA
replication are
checked in G2 phase
Cyclins regulate the
timing of the cell cycle

ENGAGE:
Review on the hand
gestures of mitosis
(PMAT) when students
coming in to class

ENGAGE:
Discuss with the
students
-What happens when
checkpoints and
cyclins fail to catch
the mistakes?
-What is cancer?

EXPLORE:
Discussion based
learning
-Since students have
already research and
written notes down
yesterday, I will ask/
pick on students to
explain what happens
in each phase

EXPLORE:
Relate students to cell
cycles errors: cancer
(notes-taking)
EXPLAIN:
Give them fun
statistics of leading
cancer in America and
what causes cancer
Explain what p53

Show them the Amoeba

sister video on mitosis

v=gwcwSZIfKlM
EXPLAIN:
Discuss page 11 of their
Unit 9 packet: Amoeba
sister (See attachment)
-Walk the students
through this comic strip
by asking questions
(discussion-based)
-A general view of how
mitosis works and how
it related to them in
daily life
While I am drawing the
mitosis process (PMAT)
on page 12 (see
attachment) with them
on the white board, I will
briefly explain the detail
of mitosis in each
phases with hand
gestures.

Tuesday (1/27)
**Enrichment Schedule
EXPLAIN:
When students are
explaining this process
to other students, I will
review them with the
phrase PMAT and
review again with the
hand gestures.
ELABORATE:
Introduce them to the
topic of cyclins and
checkpoints
-Make the guard
reference of cyclins
and checkpoints.

gene is.
ELABORATE:
On page 14&15,
checkpoints article
(see attachment)students are working
in groups to read the
article and answer the
questions

ELABORATE:
On page 13 of their Unit
9 packet: finish the
foldable that they have
started (See
attachment)
-Ask students to cut out
the mitosis histology
image and put it on the
