SUBJECT: BIOLOGY

CLASS: 4IC

TIME: 70 MINUTES

TOPIC: MITOSIS

PROBLEM: VISUALIZING THE ABSTRACT CONCEPT OF CELL DIVISION.

STUDENTS VIEW THE TOPIC AS BORING AND DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND THE STAGES.

RELATIVE ADVANTAGE: 1. STUDENTS CAN SEE THE PROCESS OF CELL DIVISION.

2. STUDENTS CAN BETTER GRASP THIS ABSTRACT CONCEPT STAGE BY STAGE.

3. AIDS IN STUDENTS DEVELOPING PSYCHOMOTOR SKILLS AND PROFICIENT USE OF TECHNOLOGY.

4. VIDEO SHOWS THE ANIMATION OF EACH PROCESS WHICH APPEALS TO VARIOUS INTELLIGENCES AS THERE IS MOTION, SOUND, EXPLANATION AND COLOURS.5. REPEATIBILITY – SS CAN VIEW AS OFTEN WITHIN TIME FRAME, PAUSE.

OBJECTIVES:

1. TO SEQUENCE THE PROCESS OF MITOSIS.

2. TO DESCRIBE THE STAGES OF MITOSIS.

3. TO STATE THE ROLE OF MITOSIS. (HFLE) 

 TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION:1. INDIVIDUAL AND PLENARY DISCUSSION.

2. USE OF COMPUTER TO ACCESS VIDEO AND COMPLETE GUIDED WORKSHEET.

3. DIRECTED APPROACH USED AND SINGLE SUBJECT.

PREPARATION OF INSTRUCTIONAL ENVIRONMENT:

1. ACCESS TO COMPUTERS THAT ARE INTERLINKED (30 COMPUTERS / 1 PER STUDENT).

2. INTERNET ACCESS

3. HIGH SPEED /BROAD BAND/WI-FI

4. MEDIA PLAYER

5. SCHEDULE A DOUBLE PERIOD FOR USE OF LAB BEFORE THE CLASS.

PREPARATION OF INSTRUCTIONAL ENVIRONMENT

6. Print hard copies of worksheet and evaluation.7. Ensure all use of equipment are checked and working before the class.

8. Teachers are required to walk around class to ensure students stay on task.

9. Students are limited to teacher’s workspace.10. In the event of power failure students can use text book as reference.

ASSESSMENT:

STUDENTS COMPLETE WORKSHEET ON THE COMPUTER INDIVIDUALLY. ASSESSMENT IS IN MULTIPLE CHOICE FORMAT.

REFLECTION:

It was challenging because of lack of familiarity with technology. Lesson evolved as adjustment were made to improve the flow of

ideas. Interruption wrt connectivity Finding the finding the appropriate media for lesson and outcome. Collaboration of ideas Availability of teacher’s workspace to students.

DEVELOPMENT:

Matching

Students will be given a worksheet of diagrams of stages of mitosis placed in random order.
