Biology PAP Lesson Plan
9/29
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.
9/30
Warm-Up: Students will be asked to
think about how they grew from a baby
to a teenager. Students should be
prepared to share their answers.
Guided Practice:


View video on cellular
reproduction
Guided notes
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.
Warm-Up: List the 4 stages of Mitosis
5D(S): SWBAT recognize that
disruptions of the cell cycle lead
to diseases such as cancer.
Independent Practice: Students will
begin cell cycle flip book
10/1- 5A(R): SWBAT Describe the
10/2 stages of the cell cycle,
including DNA replication and
mitosis, and the importance of
the cell cycle to the growth of
organisms.
5B(S): Examine specialized cells
including roots, stems, leaves of
plants; and animal cells such as
blood muscle and epithelium.
HW: Read chapter 8 over cell
reproduction
HW: Study guided notes
Guided Practice:
 Finish guided notes
 Hand gesture exercise for
mitosis stages
Warm-up/Assessment: Students will be
given a print out of cell cycle/mitosis
and will label the stages.
Independent Practice:
 Students will be given 15-20
minutes to view prepared onion
epithelium under a microscope.
 Students will work on and finish
cell cycle flip book
Warm up will be collected for
participation grade.
HW: Breast Cancer Reading and
analysis questions.
