LEARNING OBJECTIVES

By the end of the lesson, pupils should be able to:

1. Explain the meaning of reproduction in plants.

2. Identify the parts of a flower.

3. State the parts of a flower that produce fruits.

4. Appreciate the importance of flowers in plant reproduction.

ENTRY BEHAVIOUR

Pupils have previously learned about plants and their importance in the environment, as well as how flowers are involved in plant reproduction.

This lesson builds on that knowledge by helping pupils understand how plants reproduce through flowers, the different parts of a flower, and the specific flower parts that develop into fruits and seeds.

INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS

The teacher will teach the lesson with the aid of:

1. Real flowers (e.g., hibiscus, lily)

2. Diagrams of a flower

3. Charts showing parts of a flower

4. Blackboard/whiteboard

5. Flashcards

METHOD OF TEACHING

Choose a suitable and appropriate methods for the lessons.

Note – Irrespective of choosing methods of teaching, always introduce an activities that will arouse pupil’s interest or lead them to the lessons.

CONTENT OF THE LESSON

INTRODUCTION

Plants are living things found all around us. They grow, produce flowers, and make new plants. This process helps plants continue to exist in nature.

Flowers are very important parts of plants because they help in the production of seeds and fruits. Some flowers produce the seeds that can become new plants while some flowers don’t.

In this lesson, pupils will learn about the meaning of reproduction in plants, the parts of a flower, and the parts of flowers that produce fruits.

MEANING OF REPRODUCTION IN PLANTS

Reproduction in plants is the process by which plants produce new plants (offspring) from seeds.

PARTS OF A FLOWER

1. Petals – Petals are the colourful parts of a flower. They attract insects like bees and butterflies for pollination.

2. Sepals – Sepals are the green parts found at the base of the flower. They protect the flower when it is still in the bud stage.

3. Stamen (Male Part of Flower) – The stamen is the male part of the flower.

It has two parts:

Anther: Produces pollen grains.

Filament: Holds the anther in position.

The stamen produces pollen needed for reproduction.

4. Pistil (Carpel) – Female Part of Flower

The pistil is the female part of the flower. It has three parts:

Stigma: Receives pollen grains.

Style: Connects the stigma to the ovary.

Ovary: Contains ovules and develops into fruit after fertilization.

The pistil helps in seed and fruit formation.

Each part of the flower has an important role in reproduction. The stamen produces pollen, while the pistil receives pollen and helps in the formation of seeds and fruits.

PARTS OF FLOWERS THAT PRODUCE FRUITS

The ovary is the part of the flower that develops into a fruit after fertilization.

The ovules inside the ovary develop into seeds.

SUMMARY

In this lesson, pupils learned that reproduction in plants is the process by which plants produce new plants (offspring) through seeds.

They also learned the parts of a flower, which include:

Petals

Sepals

Stamen (anther and filament)

Pistil/Carpel (stigma, style, and ovary)

Pupils further learned that the ovary is the part of the flower that develops into a fruit, while the ovules inside the ovary develop into seeds after fertilization.

Finally, pupils understood that flowers are very important because they help plants to reproduce and continue their life cycle.

PRESENTATION

To deliver the lesson, the teacher adopts the following steps:

1. The teacher shows pupils a real flower or diagram of a flower.

Pupils’ Activities: Pupils observe and identify parts of the flower.

2. The teacher asks pupils to mention flowers they know around them.

Pupils’ Activities: Pupils respond and share examples.

3. The teacher introduces the topic: Reproduction in Plants.

Pupils’ Activities: Pupils repeat the topic.

4. The teacher explains the meaning of reproduction in plants.

Pupils’ Activities: Pupils listen attentively and take notes.

5. The teacher explains and identifies the parts of a flower using a diagram.

Pupils’ Activities: Pupils identify each part on the chart or diagram.

6. The teacher discusses the functions of each flower part briefly.

Pupils’ Activities: Pupils respond to questions.

7. The teacher explains the parts of the flower that produce fruits (ovary and ovules).

Pupils’ Activities: Pupils observe and ask questions.

8. The teacher guides pupils to draw and label a flower diagram.

Pupils’ Activities: Pupils draw and label the parts.

9. The teacher summarizes the lesson using question and answer method.

Pupils’ Activities: Pupils answer oral questions.

10. The teacher gives a short evaluation and takes pupils’ responses.
