PICTURE PUZZLE
The class will be divided into three (3) groups. Each group will have a
representative of three (3) members. The representatives will be given a cutted pictures
of the different plants. The first group who will assemble and paste the puzzled picture
on the board will be the winner and win a prize.
B. LEARNING ACTIVITIES
1. Presentation of the Lesson
The teacher will present a short video clip regarding Life Cycle of Plants by
asking the following questions.
What are the things needed for plants to grow and survive?
How many cycles do plants have?
What are the parts of the plant?
2. Discussion
Concept Notes:
What is Plant Life Cycle?
Plants have a life cycle, just like humans and other animals. The life cycle of a
plant describes the different stages of the plant from the beginning of its life until the
end, which is from seed to mature plant.
However, not all plants produce seed. Some plants such as fern or mosses
produce different kinds of cells called “Spores”. These plant does not produce seeds.
Different Stages of Plant Life Cycle
1. Seed
The plant life cycle starts with a seed. From the outside, seeds are protected by
a tough layer called outer coat. But inside every seed, there is a tiny baby plant,
known as an embryo. The embryo has a root, shoot as well as the first true leaves.
Seeds wait to germinate until three needs are met: water, correct temperature
(warmth), and a good location (such as in soil).
2. Germination
The next stage is germination. For germination, seeds need a suitable condition
like water, correct temperature and right location (such as in soil). When the proper
conditions are met for the seed, it will begin to sprout. The first root begins to grow
downward. There are few tiny hairs on the roots which absorb water and minerals from
the soil. The process of the sprouting of seed usually after a period of dormancy is
called germination.
3. Seedling
The next step is seedling. A very young plant that grow after germination. It
starts growing towards the sunlight. Plants need sunlight, nutrients, water, and air to
survive and grow. Photosynthesis helps the seedling grow into a mature plant.
4. Adult Plant
When a plant becomes mature, it started to grow flower (in a flowering plant)
and flowers produce seeds. A mature plant has leaves, roots, stem, flower and fruits.
Flowers are the reproductive part of a plant. It makes seeds which in turn make
new plants. There are different parts of a flower such as petals, sepals, stamen, pistil
etc.
5. Pollination
Pollination plays a very important role in the plant life cycle. Flowers use pollen
to make seeds through a process called pollination. Pollen is transferred by different
pollinators, such as birds, butterflies, insects, bees or even wind.
When a butterfly or other insect lands on a flower, dust of pollen sticks to its
legs. As the butterfly flies to the next plant, it transfers the pollen to the pistil.
So, when pollen moved from the stamen to the pistil, called pollination. And
once pollination takes place, the seeds start to grow.
6. Seed Dispersal
Finally, seeds get dispersed (scattered) away to new places and the plant life
cycle starts again. Seeds can get spread by animals, wind, and water.
Guide Questions:
1. How does plants grow?
2. What will happen if the plants get dispersed?
3. How does water, correct temperature and proper location affects the growth
of a plant?
3. Generalization
There are many things plants need to grow such as water, nutrients, air, water,
light, temperature, space and time. Like humans and animals, plants need both water
and nutrients (food) to survive. Plants are vital. They give us oxygen, store carbon,
stabilize the soil and give life to the world's wildlife. They also provide us with the
materials for tools and shelter.
1. What is the importance of plants in our daily living?
2. How would you maintain and protect our environment at a very young age?
3. Do you think we can live without plants? Why or why not?
C. ACTIVATE/APPLICATION
The class will be divided into three groups and each group will plant a seed on
the given flowerpot following the right procedure of planting. The groups will be graded
by the following rubric.
RUBRIC FOR PLANTING
