Biology Pre-AP Lesson Plan
10/13
5A(R): SWBAT Describe the
stages of the cell cycle,
including DNA replication and
mitosis, and the importance of
the cell cycle to the growth of
organisms.
Warm-Up: Students may do last minute
studying for cell cycle exam.
Students must read chapter in
textbook on chromosomes and
DNA replication.
Assessment:

Cell cycle, cell differentiation,
cancer and virus exam is given.
5D(S): SWBAT recognize that
disruptions of the cell cycle
lead to diseases such as
cancer.
4C(R): SWBAT compare the
structure of viruses to cells,
describe viral reproduction, and
describe the role of viruses
causing diseases such as
human immunodeficiency virus
(HIV) and influenza.
10/14
6A(R): SWBAT identify
components of DNA, and
describe how information for
specifying the traits of an
organism is carried in the DNA.
10/15- 6A(R): SWBAT identify
10/16 components of DNA, and
describe how information for
specifying the traits of an
organism is carried in the DNA.
6C(S): SWBAT explain the
purpose and process of
transcription and translation
using models of DNA and RNA.
10/17
6D(S): SWBAT recognize that
gene expression is a regulated
process.
6A(R): SWBAT identify
components of DNA, and
describe how information for
specifying the traits of an
organism is carried in the DNA.
