Embedded Core Skills:

  • Observation, Communication, Critical Thinking.

Learning Materials:

  • Pictures of plant growth stages.
  • Seeds, soil, and small pots for a practical demonstration.
  • Marker board and chalk.

Lesson Structure

Plants grow in different stages. Let’s break it down:

  1. Seed Stage: Plants start as tiny seeds. Like how you start as a baby, plants have their baby form too.
  2. Germination: The seed wakes up and begins to sprout. It’s like when you open your eyes in the morning and get ready for the day.
  3. Seedling: Now, the plant has small leaves. Picture a little plant growing in a pot.
  4. Mature Plant: As time passes, the plant becomes bigger and stronger. It might have flowers or fruits. Think of a full-grown tree in a park.

Remember, plants also have their own growth journey, just like you do! 🌱 Any questions?

Presentation Activities and Strategies

  1. Set Induction (5 mins):
    • Show pictures of different plants in various stages.
    • Ask questions like, “What do you notice about these plants? How do they grow?”
  2. Step 1: Revision (7 mins):
    • Briefly revise the previous topic on the meaning and types of soil.
    • Connect soil types to plant growth.
  3. Step 2: Introduction (5 mins):
    • Introduce the new topic: “Today, we’ll explore how plants grow. Just like we discussed soil last time, today we’ll look at the different stages of a plant’s life.”
  4. Step 3: Teacher’s Activities (15 mins):
    • Explain each stage: seed, germination, seedling, mature plant.
    • Use the practical demonstration with seeds and pots.
    • Encourage questions and discussions.
  5. Learners Activities (10 mins):
    • Plant seeds in small pots and observe changes.
    • Discuss their observations in small groups.
    • Share findings with the class.
  6. Assessment (3 mins):
    • Ask individual students to explain one stage of plant growth.
    • Check understanding through quick questions.
  7. Evaluation :
    1. What is the first stage of plant growth?
    2. Define germination.
    3. Name two things a seed needs to grow.
    4. What is a seedling?
    5. How is a mature plant different from a seedling?
    6. Mention a stage where flowers may appear.
    7. Why is the seedling stage important?
    8. Connect soil types to plant growth.
    9. Explain the journey from seed to mature plant.
    10. What is the importance of understanding plant growth?
  8. Conclusion (5 mins):
    • Recap the key points.
