The lesson introduces the classification of plants to 5th grade students. It focuses on the main characteristics used to classify plants into two groups: vascular and nonvascular plants. Students will explore plant leaves brought from home and identify characteristics like shape, size, and veins to classify them. They will describe how plants are alike or different based on observable traits and build a plant classification tree by attaching leaves and descriptions.

Grade5
Topic: Classifying Organisms: Chapter 3
Lesson 2: How do we classify plants ?
Brief Lesson Description:
The lesson introduce the classification of the plants. That includes the characteristic of plants. That divided to two main characteristic of plan which are vascular and nonvascular and how the plant reproduce. The lesson give the students the opportunity to explore by their hand the leaves that will help them to recognize the concepts. Performance Expectation(s): Students who demonstrate understanding can:
Classify organisms can be classified on the basis of observable
characteristics. Students will sort/classify different living thing using similar and different characteristics.
Describe why organisms belong to each group or cite evidence
about how they are alike or not alike
Specific Learning Outcomes:
- Learner will be able to recognize that plants can be classified based on characteristics. - Students will be able to identify the new concepts of the lesson to analysis the information to use them for their activities - Students will be able to recognize the concepts the characteristics of plant to connect them with their prior knowledge characteristics of animal
Narrative / Background Information
Prior Student Knowledge:
The teacher asked learner to bring a leaves from their homes, so
learners have a background about the lesson. The previous lesson was focusing characteristic of animals. Know the focus will be on the characteristic of plant which helps to scaffold students information. Science & Engineering Practices: Analyzing : Analyzing the information in grade 5 builds on prior experiences . That will help them to link what they had with what they will have which increase their expectation in their daily life. By bring leaves from their homes.
Disciplinary Core Ideas:
Crosscutting Concepts:
- Biogeology The feature of plant make them classified differently
System and system model.
Define the plant and the characteristic of it. its critical to recognize the differentiation between the plant size, color, shape
Engaging in Argument from Evidence Engaging in argument from evidence that they had from exploration in grade 5 builds on prior experiences and progresses to comparing ideas and representations about the classifying plants.
Possible Preconceptions/Misconceptions: Some students may have a difficulty with understanding the new concepts ( language difficulties ) . That lead to have a misconception around the class. In addition, some students have some difficulties with getting the instruction. That make them asking to repeat the questions many time which start a misbehavior around the class. LESSON PLAN 5-E Model
ENGAGE: Opening Activity Access Prior
Learning / Stimulate Interest / Generate Questions: The teacher asked learner to bring a leaves from their homes so the teacher will start the lesson with have a dissection with the learner about what why brought. Clarification Statement: - Who remember what MS Thecrayat asked you to bring yesterday? - From which part of organism the leaves related to? - Why do you think MS Thecrayat asked you to bring the leaves. *Show me your leaves - what was our pervious lesson? - what do you think , today lesson will be about? The teacher will show learner the learning objective for the lesson. EXPLORE: Lesson Description Materials Needed / Probing or The teacher will ask each group to observe the leaves that they Brought. Then to write on the empty paper 3 main different characteristic about the leaves. Students have 7 minutes to explore the leaves. For example, if the leave is long, green, have lots of veins.
EXPLAIN: Concepts Explained and Vocabulary
Defined: The teacher will have the new vocabulary on the board
( PowerPoint) And will have a discussion with learner about what they wrote. The teacher will clarify the lesson and ask learner if they have any questions. Vocabulary: Vascular : plants that have special tubes for carrying food and water to all its parts Nonvascular : plants that do not have special tubes for carrying food and water to all its parts Reproducer: Produce something very similar to (something else)
ELABORATE: Applications and Extensions:
Build our tree activity: The teacher will give students a lined worksheet. At exploring stage, she asked them to write 3 main characteristic of the leaves. After they had the transformation stage, the students have the opportunity to rewrite the characteristic of plant with the explanation. Then the teacher will ask students to stick the leaves with the worksheet on the tree. Students will work individually. EVALUATE: Formative Monitoring (Questioning / Discussion): The teacher will give students a worksheet. They have to finish it individually.
Appendix :
Words to know Write the word next to the description it matches Nonvascular
vascular
1.________ plants that do not have special tubes for carrying food and water to all its parts 2.________ plants that have special tubes for carrying food and water to all its parts
Explain: What are the two main characteristics for classifying
