Lesson Plan: Cell Division

Grade Level: 9-12


Subject: Biology
Duration: 60 minutes
Topic: Cell Division

Lesson Objectives:
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:
1. Define cell division.
2. Explain the importance of cell division in growth, repair, and reproduction.
3. Differentiate between mitosis and meiosis.
4. Describe the stages of mitosis.

Materials Needed:
 Whiteboard and markers
 Diagrams of cell cycle and mitosis
 Microscope and prepared slides (if available)
 Handouts with diagrams and key points
 Animations or videos on cell division (optional)

Lesson Procedure:
1. Introduction (10 minutes)
 Begin with a question: “Why do you think our bodies need to produce new
cells?”
 Briefly discuss the importance of cell division in growth, healing, and
reproduction.
 Connect to previous lessons on cells and DNA.
2. Explanation of Cell Division (15 minutes)
 Define cell division.
 Introduce two main types: Mitosis and Meiosis.
 Highlight the significance of each:
o Mitosis: growth, repair, asexual reproduction.

o Meiosis: sexual reproduction, genetic diversity.

3. Mitosis in Detail (20 minutes)


 Use diagrams or animations to illustrate the stages:
o Prophase

o Metaphase

o Anaphase

o Telophase

 Explain each stage clearly.


 Show a real or prepared slide of a cell in mitosis (if available).
4. Comparison of Mitosis and Meiosis (10 minutes)
 Create a table comparing:
o Number of divisions

o Number of daughter cells

o Genetic similarity/difference

o Function

5. Class Activity (10 minutes)


 Students label diagrams of mitosis stages.
 Or, simulate cell division using models or role-play.

6. Summary and Closure (5 minutes)


 Recap key points.
 Ask questions to assess understanding.
 Assign homework: Draw and label the stages of mitosis.

Assessment:
 Participation in activities.
 Homework diagram.
 Short quiz at the next class.
Additional Resources:
 Khan Academy Cell Division Videos
 Interactive animations (if available).
