                                   plant/animal/bacterial cell using recyclable materials
Learning Competencies              The learners describe the structure and function of major
                                   and subcellular organelles

I. Objectives:
       At the end of the 60-minute discussion, the students should be able to:
           1. describe the structure and function of different organelles in animal and plant
               cells.
           2. construct a 3D model of a plant and animal cell using edible materials.
           3. appreciate the value of creativity, patience and teamwork in doing a task.

       2.   Prayer
       3.   Checking of Attendance
       4.   Bio-Bits (Trivia of the Day)
   2. Motivation
       The class will be divided into five groups. Scrambled letters will be flashed on the screen
       and the students should guess what the word is. Answers shall be written on the
       illustration boards given. The group with the highest point wins.

   3. Lesson Proper
      Using a PowerPoint presentation, the teacher will present the topic using active learning
      and/or collaborative learning.
   4. Generalization
      The cell is considered the basic unit of life. Organelles are small structures within cells
      that have specific jobs that include ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi
      apparatus, vacuoles, lysosomes, mitochondria, plasma membrane and others.
   5. Application
                                 3-D Cell Model Construction
      The class will be divided into five groups. Using the available materials they have on
      hand, the students will construct their model within 30 minutes. After the time given,
      the teacher will choose the best model.
IV. Evaluation
      The group will going to present their output using the teacher-made rubric. (see
      attached rubric)
V. Assignment
      Draw and label the parts of an animal and plant cell.
