Cell Cycle & Cell Division
Monday 11/16/15
Title: Cell Cycle & Cancer PPT, Cell Cycle Practice
Standard:
SB1 → Students will analyze the nature of relationships between structures and functions in
living cells
(a) Explain the role of cell organelles for both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, including the
cell membrane, in maintaining homeostasis and cell reproduction
SB2 → Students will analyze how biological traits are passed on to successive generations
SB3 → Students will derive the relationship between single-celled and multi-celled organisms
and the increasing complexity of systems
Essential Question:
What is the cell cycle and its important stages? What is cancer?
Bellringer:
What part of the cell is responsible for our Genetic Material?
Activator:
What could be a cause of cancer?
Teaching Strategies:
 Students will take fill-in-the-blank notes on cell cycle and cancer using Nearpod.
 Then students will complete 3 comprehension questions on Nearpod, based on the
notes they took.
 Finally students will watch a short video about cancer, its causes, and its treatment.
Summarizer:
Students complete a diagram of the cell cycle and the important stages with the key events.

cell membrane, in maintaining homeostasis and cell reproduction
SB2 → Students will analyze how biological traits are passed on to successive generations
SB3 → Students will derive the relationship between single-celled and multi-celled organisms
and the increasing complexity of systems
Essential Question:
What are the important stages of mitosis?

Activator:
Why does a skin cell divide more often than a liver cell?
Teaching Strategies:
 Students will take fill-in-the-blank notes on mitosis using Nearpod.
Summarizer:

Essential Question:
What are the important stages of mitosis?
Bellringer:
What phase cell division do chromosomes replicate?
Activator:
Name the stages of mitosis in order.
Teaching Strategies:
 Students will put together a flipbook about the cell cycle and mitosis with the important
stages/phases and their key events.
Summarizer:
Students will share two points that they are still confused on with the cell cycle and mitosis.

Activator:
Get out your mitosis flipbook supplies.
Teaching Strategies:
 Students will complete their flipbooks on the cell cycle and mitosis
 Then 2tudents will be assessed on the concepts in Cell Cycle & Cell Division unit by
taking an exam, composed of multiple-choice questions.
