The cell theory states that all biological organisms are composed of cells; cells are the unit of life and all life comes from preexisting life. Essential Questions 1. Why is structure related to function at all biological levels of organization? 2. What are the statements of the Cell Theory? Stage 2: Assessment Evidence Performance Task G – Students will have a concrete understanding on the History of Cell Theory. R – Students will work in pairs to analyze the questions given and formulate an answer. A – Pairs will share their answer on the questions they answer during checking their work S – Depends on the number of students in the class, each pair consist of 2 students P – Each pair will answer the following questions based on the video clip they watch and the Timeline of the Cell Theory indicated on the activity sheet. S – Each pair scores depends on the number of correct/wrong answers they will get. *The activity sheet is attach on this lesson plan. Other Evidence - Recitation - Homework - Student Reflections



Stage 3: Learning Plan 1. Introduction to Essential Questions. Allow students to answer the essential questions according to their prior knowledge. 2. The Class will arrange the Level of Biological Organization based on the pictures posted on board. 3. After arranging the pictures, the class will check their work during the discussion of the topic. 4. The class will have an activity on the Cell Theory and they will be divided into pairs. Each pair will answer questions on the activity sheet based on the video clip that they watch and the timeline of the Cell Theory written on the activity sheet. 5. There will be a discussion on the Cell Theory while checking their answers on the activity they finish. 6. Students will try to answer again the Essential Questions based on what they have learned on the topic. 7. The class will have a homework on “What are the properties of Cells?
