Biology Prep Lesson Plan
10/6
5A(R): SWBAT Describe the
stages of the cell cycle,
including DNA replication and
mitosis, and the importance of
the cell cycle to the growth of
organisms.
4C(R): SWBAT compare the
structure of viruses to cells,
describe viral reproduction, and
describe the role of viruses
causing diseases such as
human immunodeficiency virus
(HIV) and influenza.

10/10 5A(R): SWBAT Describe the
stages of the cell cycle,
including DNA replication and
mitosis, and the importance of
the cell cycle to the growth of
organisms.
5D(S): SWBAT recognize that
disruptions of the cell cycle lead
to diseases such as cancer.
4C(R): SWBAT compare the
structure of viruses to cells,
describe viral reproduction, and
describe the role of viruses
causing diseases such as
human immunodeficiency virus
(HIV) and influenza.
Warm-up: Students will be asked to
describe the lysogenic and lytic cycles.
Guided Practice:

on 10/13 over the cell cycle,
cell differentiation, cancer and
viruses.
