Introduction
From the day you enter kindergarten to the day you enter middle school, your body goes through a lot of changes. One thing that's pretty obvious during this stage of your life is how much bigger you get. I bet you never thought about it, but the fact that you're bigger means that you have more cells. Your body continually makes new cells by dividing the ones that already exist. So, all of the body cells you had when you were a kindergartener divided a bunch of times and little you became big you. This process of dividing body cells and their nuclei is called mitosis. Let's take a look at how this process works.
We already learned that mitosis is a type of cell division that produces more cells. This not only helps you grow, but also repairs damage when you do things like fall off your bike and scrape the skin from your knee. Any time your body needs to grow or repair, mitosis begins. The result is more of the exact same cells. So when you damage your skin cells, mitosis gives you more skin cells. When your liver needs to get bigger because you grew, your liver cells divide using mitosis to make more liver cells. Making identical cells is a good thing.
Task
1- First Task:
Before you start working on web quest, open the video and Watch how cell division occur. Then after you finish watching take a tour on the web quest and answer below questions after you finish the tour:
- Why is the cell cycle an important process?
- How are interphase and mitosis related?
- What happens in a cell during interphase?
- What happens in a cell during mitosis?
2- Second Task:
- Copy the Image below in the Microsoft office word go insert the click on shapes then choose arrow to match up between the pictures of the stages with their respective paragraph.
3- Third Task:
Work as group Click on the link below read the comprehension passage on Mitosis then complete the blank with correct word.

Conclusion
The objectives of this lesson was to:
1. Define the cell cycle.
2. Mention the phases that the cell goes through during the cell cycle in order.
3. Mention the processes that happens during each phase.
4. Mention the reason that makes the cell cycle important.
These objectives were met by
1. summarizing the important points from the video.
2. matching each phase with the appropriate paragraph.
3. solving a comprehension passage online.
4. and finally took a small online quiz on the topic of our lesson.
