Detailed Lesson Plan in Science VIII

Date: August 11, 2017

Day: Friday

I. Objectives:
A. At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
1. Explain that traits are inherited from parent organisms.
2. Familiarize to the vocabulary of genetics;
3. Discover that traits are inherited randomly;
4. Develop a sense of uniqueness despite variation and diversity; and
B. Answer three out of 5 items.

c. Materials:
2 Chips or coin (blue and Red)
White board Markers
Art papers
Crazy Traits chart
Science Idea:
a. Genetics is a branch of biology that deals with the study of heredity
b. Heredity is the passing on of characteristics from one generation to
the next.
III. Procedure:
Teachers Activity Students Activity
A. Preparatory Activity
1. Prayer

Everybody, please stand for the (The students will stand and pray)
prayer.

Take your seats. (The students will sit down)

2. Greetings:

Good afternoon Class Good morning Sir Glen!

How are you today? Were doing fine Sir

3. Checking of Attendance

Who are absent today? Nobody is absent Sir

4. Recall:
The students will summarize the
differences between mitosis and
meiosis.
Mitosis Meiosis Mitosis Meiosis
Takes place in somatic Takes place in the sex
cells cells
Diploid chromosomes Haploid chromosomes

Only cellular division Two cellular division

Produces two new cells Produces four new

cells

5. Motivation:
1. Why do people, even closely related Sir, because you will notice even in your
people, look slightly different from family members that theres somehow
each other? differences to each other when it comes to
looks or appearances.
2. Give 3 ways that you look different Facial structure, Skin color, shape of nose,
from the person at your back. eyes or hair texture.
3. The students will rearrange the G E N E T I C S
scrambled letter to reveal the
magic word.
 Okay, very good! This morning we
will find out the secrets behind our
trait or identity using Genetics.

6. Unlocking of terms:
Strategy: X-Y Link
1. Heredity-is the passing on of
characteristics from one generation
to the next.
2. Phenotype observable
characteristic of an organism
3. Genotype pair of alleles present
in and individual written in letter
form.
4. Homozygous two alleles of trait
are the same (YY or yy)
5. Heterozygous two alleles of trait
are different (Yy)
6. Dominant - the allele that masks
the presence of the other.
7. Recessive - the allele that is
masked by the other.

B. Developmental Activity:
1. Activity
(The teacher will divide the class into (The students will perform the activity.)
4 groups. Each of the group will be
given a task entitled Crazy Traits.
He will explain to the students what to
do with the activity.)

2. Analysis
1. Which traits are more dominant in
your character?
2. Which traits are recessive in your
character?
3. How many Heterozygous alleles?
Homozygous alleles?
4. How would you describe the word
phenotype? Genotype?
5. Why your creature did not look the
same as of the other group?
 3. Abstraction
a. What is trait? A trait is an observable characteristic of an
organism.
b. What is heredity? Heredity is the passing on of
characteristics from one generation to the
next.
c. What is genetics? Genetics is the study of heredity.

4. Application
Suppose the genotype of your No sir, because the offspring should
father is homozygous BB and your acquire different alleles from the parents.
mother homozygous bb, do you
think you have the chance to have
homozygous alleles? Why?

Okay, very good. Thats the reason

why every individual has a unique
traits and characteristics.

IV. Evaluation:
