TEACHING PROCEDURE:
Activating prior knowledge / Focus:
The teacher will ask students some questions such as how they
come to school? They come by feet, bus or car? Then she asks
them what do you see during the trip? The teacher elicits the
answers from students. Then asks the students do you have a
garden in your home? Then she will tell them today our lesson
about the plants and the parts of the plant. As a fun activity we will
make a model of plant.
Teacher Strategies:
The teacher will use questions and answers strategy and realia
strategy.
 First the teacher will stick flash cards on the board and she
wrote some words on it (stem, roots, and leaves). Then she
will ask students to read these words with her help and she
will tell them these words are important for our lesson today.
 Second the teacher will show the students a large pot of
plant and ask them what is this? Can you describe it for me?
Then the teacher point to the leaves and ask students what
is this part? After she elicits their answers. Teacher will point
to the stem and ask them what is this part? After that she
asks them what else can you see? Does the plant have any
part we can not see? Then the teacher will give each group a
small pot plant to examine and to see each part. They take
the plant out of the pot to allow students to see the roots.
 Third the teacher will show the students power point about
the parts of plant. Then she asks students where do we find
the roots? What it is the stem? And what are the leaves?
Student Activities:

meaning.
 Students should work in group to point and describe
their plants.

plant by using some materials.

Teacher explains to them the parts of the plant in their home

Lesson Extension:
The students who finish their activities earlier, the teacher asks
them to go to the drawing corner to draw a pant, colour, and label.
Closure:
The teacher will ask the students some questions such as what we
learnt today? What are the parts of plant? Who can show me the
roots? Who can show me the leaves? What are the roots? etc
Also teacher will ask the students about the needs of plant's
growth what do you think water the plant but we kept it in dark?
