IV. REVIEW
- Start with a brief review by asking students to write down what they already
know about photosynthesis and respiration.
- Use a graphic organizer with varying levels of detail to cater to different learning
readiness levels.
HOTS Guide Questions
1. What are the key terms or concepts related to photosynthesis and respiration that
you remember?
2. How do you think photosynthesis and respiration are connected?
V. PRESENTING THE LESSON
-
Provide an engaging hook, such as a captivating image or a short video, to
introduce the topics of photosynthesis and respiration.
-
Offer different media options (video, diagrams, or hands-on models) to appeal to
various learning styles.
HOTS Guide Questions
1. What do you observe in the image/video? How might it relate to living organisms and
energy?
2. Can you identify any similarities or differences between photosynthesis and
respiration from the introduction?
VI. LESSON PROPER
Activity 1
Think-Pair-Share (Pairs)
-
Provide a set of guiding questions related to photosynthesis and respiration.
Have students think individually, discuss with a partner, and then share their
thoughts with the class.
Adjust the complexity of the guiding questions to match students' abilities.
HOTS Guide Questions
1. What are the primary functions of photosynthesis and respiration in living organisms?
2. How do these processes contribute to the survival of different species?
Activity 2
Role Play (Small Groups)
-
Assign each group a specific scenario (e.g., a leaf in sunlight, a cell undergoing
respiration). Students role-play the processes of photosynthesis and respiration
based on their scenarios.
Provide additional support or simplified scenarios for struggling learners.
HOTS Guide Questions
1. How did your group's role-play illustrate the basic features of photosynthesis or
respiration?
2. What real-life situations can you relate to the scenarios you acted out?
VII. ANALYSIS AND ABSTRACTION (Class Discussion)
- Discuss the role-played scenarios as a class, emphasizing the essential
concepts of photosynthesis and respiration.
- Encourage students to express their understanding through drawing, writing, or
oral explanations.
HOTS Guide Questions
1. What insights did you gain from the role-playing activity?
2. How do photosynthesis and respiration interact to support life on Earth?
VIII. APPLICATION (Individual or Pairs)
-
Provide a set of real-world scenarios where students must identify the relevance
of photosynthesis and respiration (e.g., a forest ecosystem or a space station).
Offer varying levels of complexity in the scenarios.
HOTS Guide Questions
1. How do photosynthesis and respiration apply to specific scenarios, and what would
happen without these processes?
Values Focus
 Ethical considerations
 Environmental conservation
Allow students to share their thoughts through discussion or written reflections.
Integration
 Environmental science (impact on ecosystems)
 Chemistry (chemical reactions)
IX. EVALUATION
-
Assess students' understanding through a project where they create a
multimedia presentation or poster that highlights the basic features and
importance of photosynthesis and respiration.
Offer flexibility in presentation formats (e.g., visual, oral, or written) to cater to
diverse talents.
X. ASSIGNMENT
-
Assign a research essay where students investigate a current environmental
issue linked to photosynthesis, respiration, and sustainability.
