GRADE 7 WEEKLY LESSON COMPARISON BETWEEN ANIMAL AND PLANT CELLS PLAN This lesson discusses the difference between animal and plant cells. 7E MODEL Time allotment: 4 hours (240 minutes) for 4 LESSON PLAN meetings I. OBJECTIVES A. Content Standards The learners demonstrate understanding of the difference between animal and plant cells B. Performance Standards Employ appropriate techniques using the compound microscope to gather data about very small objects C. Learning Competencies Differentiate plant and animal cells according to presence or absence of certain organelles (S7LT-IIc-3) Explain why the cell is considered the basic structural and functional unit of all organisms (S7LT-IIe-5)
D. Objectives At the end of the lesson, the students are able to: 1.differentiate between plant and animal cells by recognizing the unique organelles found in each type; 2.explain how the presence or absence of specific organelles in plant and animal cells contributes to their respective function; and 3.articulate why cells are considered the basic structural and functional units of all organisms, using their edible models to illustrate how cellular structures support life processes.

IV.PROCEDURES
ELICIT (10 MINUTES)
Activity: Brainstorming Session
Instructions: Begin by asking students to write down what they already know about cells, including any specific structures or functions they can recall. Then, ask a few students to share their thoughts with the class.
Guide Questions: 1. What are cells? 2. What do you know about plant and animal cells? 3. Can you name any parts of a cell?
ENGAGE (15 MINUTES)
Activity: Video Introduction
Instructions: Show a short, engaging video that introduces the basic structure of plant and animal cells, highlighting their differences. Video Title: Introduction to Cells: The Grand Cell Tour Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IlzKri08kk
Guide Questions: 1. What is the cell theory? 2. What is the difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes? 3. What are the main differences between plant and animal cells that you noticed? 4. Which cell organelles were highlighted in the video
EXPLORE (40 MINUTES)
Lab Activity: Microscope Observation
Instructions: In pairs, students will use microscopes to observe prepared slides of plant and animal cells. Provide them with a worksheet to note their observations and draw diagrams of each type of cell.
Guide Questions: 1. What differences do you observe between the plant and animal cells? 2. Which organelles are present in one type of cell but not the other?
Worksheet Components: Diagrams of plant and animal cells List of observed organelles Notes on the differences and similarities
EXPLAIN (40 MINUTES) Activity: Guided Discussion and Diagram Explanation
Instructions: Using students' observations, conduct a guided discussion. Present detailed
diagrams of plant and animal cells and explain the function of each organelle. Address any misconceptions and ensure comprehension. Guide Questions: What are the main functions of each organelle in plant and animal cells? How do these organelles contribute to the overall function of the cell?
Assessment: Participation in discussion and accuracy of diagrams.
ELABORATE (120 MINUTES) Activity: Creating Edible Models of Animal and Plant Cells
Instructions: Students will create edible models of plant and animal cells as a group using various food items. Provide them with a list of suggested food items to represent different organelles (e.g., grapes for nuclei, jelly beans for mitochondria, gelatin for cytoplasm).
