Lesson 1:
Cell Division
CONTENT Cell Division
Short Review
The teacher will present the pictures and let the
students answer the process questions.
Process Questions:
1.What have you observed in the picture?
Can you compare it with yourself during
your childhood to your picture now?
Short Review
The teacher will present the pictures and let the
students answer the process questions.
Process Questions:
1. LESSON PURPOSE
Reproduction
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding
Mitosis
Mitosis is the process of cell
division that produces two
genetically identical
daughter cells.
Purpose: Mitosis is
responsible for growth,
repair, and asexual
reproduction in multicellular
organisms.
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding
Meiosis
Meiosis is the process of cell
division that produces four
genetically distinct daughter
cells, each with half the
number of chromosomes as
the parent cell.
Mitosis: Produces 2
genetically identical
daughter cells.
Meiosis: Produces 4
genetically distinct
C. Developing and Deepening Understanding
Chromosome Number in
Daughter Cells:
Worked Example
Modeling Cell
Division
Instructions:
1. Divide the class into pairs or small groups of 3-4 students.
2. Provide each group with the following materials:
1.Pipe cleaners or modeling clay (to represent chromosomes)
2.Small balls or beads (to represent cells)
3.Scissors or other tools (to represent the division of the cell)
4.They will start with a single "cell" (ball or bead) and then divide it into two,
four, or more "daughter cells" using the manipulatives.
5.Encourage them to model the key stages of cell division, such as the
replication of chromosomes and the separation of the genetic material.
