I. Objectives

Cognitive : Classify plants into major groups.

II. Integration

A. Values: Productivity and quality of lifeB. Makabayan: Green and beautiful: the place where we live

III. Subject Matter

A. Unit : PlantsTopic : Plant KingdomSub-topic : Different ways of grouping plants.Reference : iTextbook 5, Science and Health 5 Jessie A. Villegas, pages 116-120Materials : pictures or true-to-life samples of plants

B. Concepts/Related Ideas

1. The plant kingdom is one of the five kingdom classifications of living things. The other four are the animal. protist, fungus, and moneran kingdoms. All the organisms of the plant kingdom are multicellular, or consisting of many cells. They evolved from the multicellular algae. They can make their own food. Plants are further classified into four smaller divisions, called phyla. They are the angiosperms, gymnosperms, ferns, and bryophytes. The first three are vascular plants, while the last is a group of nonvascular plants. Knowledge of plant classification helps us to protect, propagate, and use them for the benefit of mankind.

C. Process Skills

Observing, identifying, describing, inferring

IV. Procedure

A. Preparatory ActivitiesGreetingsChecking of attendanceChecking of assignments

A. Review

1. What are the structural/behavioral adaptations of perfect flowers?2. What are the structural/behavioral adaptations of imperfect flowers for anemophily?3. What are the structural/behavioral adaptations of imperfect flowers for entomophily?4. What are the structural/behavioral adaptations of seeds for dispersal by the wind?5. What are the structural/behavioral adaptations of seeds for dispersal by the animals?

B. Motivation

In two minutes, write the names of as many plants as you can. (After the allotted time, call each pupil to give a name without repeating those already

given)

C. Presentation

All the names you gave belong to one group of plants: the flowering plants, also known as the angiosperms. It is because the flowering plants are the most abundant, most common,

and most familiar to us. We see them growing almost everywhere. Another reason is that these are the plants that we eat or cultivate in gardens. But do you know that there are three other kinds of plants? There are about 295,000 species of plants known and 235,000 of these are species of flowering plants.

D. Concept Formation

1. Open your books to page 116.2. The plant kingdom is one of the five kingdom classifications of living things. What are

the other four?3. All the organisms of the plant kingdom are multicellular, or consisting of many cells that

evolved from the multicellular algae. They are green, so they can make their own food. Plants are further classified into four smaller divisions, called phyla. What are the four phyla?

4. The first three are vascular plants, while the last is a group of nonvascular plants. What are vascular plants?

5. Which fibrovascular bundle is used for conducting water? Which is used for conducting food?

6. Vascular plants are classified according to their reproductive structures. Where does reproduction take place in the angiosperms?

7. It is in the flower where fertilization takes place and where seeds and fruits begin to develop. Where do the seeds develop?

8. Knowledge of classification can give you important information as to how plants are cultivated and cared for. In your activities, you will investigate how flowering plants are classified.

E. Enhancement Activities

How are flowering plant classified? page 119What do leaves and flowers tell about the plant? page 120

F. Generalizations/ Evaluation

How are plants classified?What is the difference between angiosperms and gymnosperms?

G. Application/Integration

The advances in modern agriculture and horticulture in the area of plant classification gave us the means of improving the quality and quantity of plants that we grow. The quality of our lives depends very much on the quality of the plants we produce.

Flowering plants do not only make our environment green and beautiful, they are our endless resource of food and material things. By protecting them, we protect ourselves.
