Content
Identify that cell is the basic unit of living

things
Prepare slides following the proper
procedure
Use a microscope properly
Identify the general structures of animal
cells and plant cells
Draw the general structure of an animal
cell and a plant cell
Label the general structure of an animal
cell and a plant cell
State the function of each cell structure
State the similarities and differences
between an animal cell and a plant cell
State the meaning of unicellular
organism and multicellular organism,
Give examples of unicellular organism
and multicellular organism
Name the different types of human cells
State the function of different types of
human cells
Arrange sequentially cell organisation
from simple to complex using the terms
cell, tissue, organ, system and organism
Explain why human beings are complex
organisms
Learning process
Learning experiences and teaching strategies
Week 1
Gather information on living organisms and identify the smallest living unit that makes up the
organism. (Gallery Walk)
Prepare slides of cheek cells and onion cells and study the general structure of cheek cells and
onion cells under a microscope using the correct procedure.
Draw and label the different structures of an animal cell and a plant cell. Using classification,
state the similarities and differences between an animal cell and a plant cell.
Week 2
Using large picture cards with two unknown categories of organisms, discuss on why the
organisms are arranged in such a way. (Leading to the understanding of unicellular and
multicellular organisms)
Each group will be provided with different kinds of human cells laminated cards. The students
will discuss and write the functions of the human cell that they get. The groups will change
places and make adjustments and comments on other cards.
Week 3
Organise the human cells from simple to complex sequentially through puzzle-it-out.
Discuss why human beings are complex organisms in learning trios A-B-C.
Formative assessment
Feed back peer assessment

Observation lab activity
Reporting
Scrap book
Differentiation
1. Students will be grouped into mixed level of achievement evaluated from pre-assessment so
that the low achievers may benefit from the peer support/help.
Resources
The class set-up will be facilitate inquiry and will allow students to investigate the effects biotechnology on environment.
Students will adhere to the safety requirements as stated in MYP science guide.
The class will be arranged in groups to facilitate peer learning via discussion and group work.
