STAGE I – DESIRED RESULTS
LESSON TOPIC:
The Cell Cycle
Mitosis and Cytokinesis
BIG IDEAS:
(Content standards, assessment anchors, eligible content) objectives, and skill
focus)
• Describe relationships between structure and function at biological levels of
organization.
• Hereditary information in genes is inherited and expressed.
• New cells arise from the division of pre-existing cells.
UNDERSTANDING GOALS (CONCEPTS):
Students will understand:
• Describe and interpret relationships between structure and function at various
levels of biological organization (i.e., organelles, cells, tissues, organs, organ
systems, and multicellular organisms).l.
• Cells grow when they can take in more nutrients through their plasma
membranes than they can metabolize in their interior. Cells may divide when their
metabolism exceeds nutrient absorption.
• All cells go through a cell cycle.
• Sexually reproducing organisms produce gametes which transport hereditary
information from one generation of organisms into another generation.
• Prokaryotic cells divide via binary fission
• Eukaryotic cells first divide their nucleus and then divide their cytoplasm to
make new cells..
VOCABULARY: Gamete, binary fission, gene, chromosome,
chromatid, centromere, homologous chromosome, diploid,
haploid, zygote, autosome, sex chromosome, karyotype, cell
cycle, interphase, mitosis, cytokinesis, cancer, spindle,
prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, chromatin
ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS:
• How is the hereditary information in genes inherited and
expressed?
• Describe and interpret relationships between structure and
function at various levels of biochemical organization.
• How do cells grow and reproduce?
STUDENT OBJECTIVES (COMPETENCIES/OUTCOMES):
Students will be able to:
• Describe the role of DNA in protein synthesis, reproduction
and evolution.
• What is the relationship between the structure and function
at biological levels of organization?
•What are the cell structures and what does each of them do?
•Pose questions and provide evidence-based explanations
about understanding and observations of biological
phenomena and processes.
•Identify and describe various ways models are used to
explain, interpret, and predict, biological
phenomena/systems.
STAGE II – ASSESSMENT EVIDENCE
PERFORMANCE TASK:

MATERIALS AND
RESOURCES:
Active Engagements used:
#1. Higher Level Thinking Skills
#2. Partnering
Others:
• Projector

slides
• Green and red paper
• White card stock ovals
• Glue sticks, glitter,
constuction paper
• Scissors
•Pipe cleaners
Describe usage:
• Students will use their
knowledge of the diploid number
of chromosomes and determine
how different chromosomal
abnormalitites may occur and
the effect on the organism.
• Students will use their
knowledge of the cell cycle to
identify and explain how errors
in the cell cycle can lead to
cancer.
CONTENT AREA
READING:
Scaffolding used:
#1. Build on Prior Knowledge
#2 . K-W-L
Others:
Describe usage:
• The student will build on his
knowledge of the organelles of
cells and the role they each play
in the cell cycle.
• Students will use their
knowledge of the differences in
the structures of plant and
animal cells to explain the
differences in the process of
cytokinesis in each type of cell.
• Compare cell division in
prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
•Compare cell division in plant
cells and animal cells.
Other techniques used:
Prompting if necessary.
