Basic Science Book 1 page 82
Materials: leaves, magnifying glass, flowers, Bristol board ,computerPrevious knowledge: Students know the basic parts of a flower.
Objectives: Students will be able to:
1. identify parts of the flower
2. tell the difference between monocots and dicots
3. group plants according to leaf type and characteristics and present findings in a table form by using a computer.Concepts:
Flowering plants include two main groups:
a) monocots
b) dicotsmonocots
Monocot is the short for monocotyledon, which means that the seeds of these plants contain only one cotyledon or seed leaf.
Examples of monocots are: onions, bananas, tulips, wheat, barley, maize and daffodils.
Characteristics:
-all grasses are monocots
- Monocots have one cotyledon.
- Flower parts are in threes of multiples of three.
- Monocots have leaves with parallel veins that run down the length of the leaf
- pollen grains often have one pore.Dicots
- two cotyledons
- Flower parts in fours or multiples of fours or fives.
- Leaf veins form a net pattern
- Pollen grain often have three pores.
Skills:
Observe different types of leaves and flowers.
Write the name of the different groups of plants
Discuss observations with class
Create a table on a computer
Listen for information
Attitude:
Appreciate the importance of group classification in plants.Procedure:
Introduction:
Form students into groups. Set on the desk of each group various different leaves, seeds, and flowers. Give students a diskette which will guide them into identifying the difference among the different items in front of them.Development:
Ask for feedback from students. Have student present their findings orally. . Clear any doubts about the two groups of plants.
Conclusion:
Students will demonstrate their understanding by constructing table on Microsoft word and insert information.
