Lesson Plan 2

The lesson plan is for a 3rd grade class and focuses on stems and how they help plants. Students will develop models to show the life cycles of plants, with a focus on how roots and stems take in and transport water and nutrients. The lesson will engage students with an activity using sticks to represent plant parts. Students will then learn about stem types and functions using a PowerPoint. Key vocabulary like cactus, ivy and vines will be defined. For homework, students will complete a worksheet applying what they learned. The lesson will conclude with a discussion to evaluate student understanding.

NGSS Lesson Planning Template

From Molecules to
Lesson: Structures and
Organisms
Processes
Brief Lesson Description: The students will be expected to identify how stem help
plants and what the types of stems.
Performance Expectation(s): Develop models to describe that organisms have unique
and diverse life cycles, but all have in common birth, growth, reproduction, and
death.
Grade/ Grade Band:

Grade 3

Topic:

Specific Learning Outcomes:

The students will be able to describe how roots and stems take in, transport or store
water and nutrients the plant needs to grow.
Narrative / Background Information
Prior Student Knowledge:

The students have considerable knowledge about stems.


The students have observed the plant growth.
Science & Engineering
Practices:

Disciplinary Core Ideas:

Developing and Using


Models, Modeling in 35
builds on K2 experiences
and progresses to building
and revising simple
models and using models
to represent events and
design solutions. Develop
models to describe
phenomena. (3-LS1-1)

LS1.B: Growth and


Development of
Organisms Reproduction
is essential to the
continued existence of
every kind of organism.
Plants and animals have
unique and diverse life
cycles. (3-LS1-1)

Crosscutting Concepts:

PS2.A: Forces and Motion

Patterns of change can be


used to make predictions.
(3-LS1-1)

Possible Preconceptions/Misconceptions:

Students may think that a celery stalk is a stem. However, to be a stem, a cross
section must be circulated to square in shape. A celery stalk cross section has a
crescent shape. In addition, the word stalk is short for leaf stalk. So, the celery stalk
is part of the leaf. If you have a bunch of celery and you remove each stalk one by
one, you will find the conical stem in the center.
LESSON PLAN 5-E Model
ENGAGE: Opening Activity Access Prior Learning / Stimulate Interest / Generate Questions:

Review the pervious lesson by giving each students a stick and they have to find her
partner. (Part of plant).

EXPLORE: Lesson Description Materials Needed / Probing or Clarifying Questions:

Using PowerPoint to explain the lesson for how stem help the plant and types of
stem. I ask students about the new vocabulary by sharing and discuss the ideas.

EXPLAIN: Concepts Explained and Vocabulary Defined:

Ask the students to open their books and complete the question with a discussion in
the board together.
Vocabulary: cactus, ivy and vines
ELABORATE: Applications and Extensions:

I gave the students a worksheet to do by their self at home.


EVALUATE:

Make a discussion with the students review what they learned today.
Elaborate Further / Reflect: Enrichment:
