This daily lesson plan outlines a science class that will teach 10th grade students about nucleic acids. The lesson will begin with an activity to review carbohydrates and an introductory puzzle. Students will then work in groups to differentiate between DNA and RNA using pictures and descriptions. They will discuss the structures, sugars, bases, and functions of DNA and RNA. An nucleic acid song will be used to generalize learning. The lesson will conclude with a multiple choice assessment and an assignment on lipids and proteins. The teacher will reflect on student understanding and require additional activities as needed.

PROCEDURES
Elicit
A. Reviewing
previous lesson
or presenting
new lesson
For the recall of the previous lesson, students will be grouped into three groups.
They will be given pictures of saccharides and they will arrange it based on their
classification.
Monosaccharide Disaccharide Polysaccharide
Engage
B. Establishing a
purpose for the
lesson.
C. Presenting
examples/
instances of the
new lesson.
With the same group, students will be given a puzzle that they need to fix as
quickly as possible, the group that will finish first the puzzle will be the winner.
Students will be ask the following questions:
● What picture have you formed?
● In terms of Physical appearance, what do you observe?
● Which biomolecule do you think is responsible for hereditary traits?
● What do you think and the two types of nucleic acid?
Cellulose
Starch

3. Explore
D. Discussing
new concepts
and practicing
new skills #1
E. Discussing
new concepts
and practicing
new skills #2
Still with the same group, students will going to do the “Face it Off” where they
are going to differentiate DNA from RNA but they can also put some of their
similarities in terms of:
● Description
⮚ DNA or Deoxyribonucleic Acid is a substance that carries genetic
information in the cell. RNA is Ribonucleic acid is a substance in
the cells of plants and animals that helps make proteins.
● Structure
⮚ DNA is Double Stranded that makes it looks like a twisted ladder
also from the word Deoxy means “minus oxygen” it doesn’t have O
in the 3rd Carbon while RNA is single stranded only but it has O in
3rd carbon.
● Sugar and Pairing Bases
⮚ In DNA we have Deoxyribose sugar and its base are Adenine-
Thymine, and Cytosine-Guanine; while RNA it’s sugar is ribose and
its base pairs are Adenine-Uracil, and Cytosine-Guanine
● Function
⮚ DNA stores the genetic information of an organism and transmits
that information from one generation to another while RNA
translates the genetic information contained in DNA into proteins
needed for all cellular function.
Students will be given only 15 minutes to finish the activity.
Explain
E. Developing
mastery (Leads
to formative
Assessment 3)
Guided Questions:
1. What is Nucleic Acid?
⮚ Nucleic Acid is one of the biomolecules in our body which store,
transmit, and help express hereditary information.
2. What are the types of Nucleic Acid?
⮚ DNA and RNA
3. What are nucleotides?
⮚ Monomer that makes up nucleic acid.
4. What are the parts of nucleotides?
⮚ Nitrogenous base, which is a ring portion that contains nitrogen
atoms; pentose sugar—a 5 carbon atoms; and a phosphate group.
5. How will you differentiate DNA from RNA?
⮚ DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) contains long term storage and
transmits genetic information, its sugar base is deoxyribose and A-
T, C-G are the pairing bases while RNA (Ribonucleic Acid)
responsible for creation of proteins from nucleus to the ribosomes,
its sugar is ribose and A-U and G-C are the base pairs.

4. Elaborate
F. Finding

concepts and
skills in daily
living.

G. Making
generalizations
and
abstractions
about the
lesson.
