2. Where the male and female gametes are made
Skill:- students should know how to:
1. Work and communicate effectively in groups.
MATERIALS & RESOURCES
For Teacher
For each group / student
MMP, Laptop, PPP

Textbook
Whiteboard / Markers
Hand lens, textbook, work sheet
CONCEPT OR PRINCIPLE
Flowers are adapted for Pollination by Insects and Wind so that the male and female gametes can
be brought together for fertilization.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
At the end of the lesson, students should be able to:
Classification
Define the term pollination.
Cognitive( Remember)
Distinguish between self and cross pollination
Cognitive( Understand)
Cognitive (Apply)
Relate the structure of Insect and wind pollinated

flowers to their function.
Recognize the importance of the role of insects and
wind in pollination
Affective ( Receiving)
PROCESS SKILLS
During this lesson, students will be engaged in:
Identifying / formulating a problem

Designing and Planning an experimental procedure
Setting-up and executing experimental work
Observing and measuring
Recording of data and observations

Interpreting and evaluating data and observations
Communicating scientific ideas, observations and arguments
Applying scientific ideas and methods to solve qualitative and quantitative problems
2

Decision-making based on examination of evidence and arguments
Extracting from available information data relevant to a particular situation
ACTIVITIES
Introduction:
Engagement - Teacher shows students a video on pollination (https://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=1ZnOvqzu3Zc) and asks students to determine what the big idea is.
Students are expected to realize that the big idea is that for Pollination to occur insects and wind is
needed so that all life can continue.
Students are asked what they think pollination is and why it is important.
Students are asked if they think all plants are pollinated the same way.
Teacher says that today you are going to learn about the different ways that flowers are pollinated as
well as how these flowers are adapted for pollination.
(Information Processing / Concept Attainment).
Development: Social Interaction Model / Group Work

Exploration Teacher projects two pictures depicting self and cross pollination and asks students what
they think is happening and why.
Teacher uses students to represent flowers, to demonstrate self and cross pollination
Students are then put into groups and are given two flowers, one insect pollinated and one wind
pollinated, as well as a hand lens. They are asked to observe and record the differences between the two
flowers. They are also asked to think about why these flowers have the features they do.
Explanation Students present their findings and explanations.
Teacher further explains the importance of the functions of the different features of insect and wind
pollinated flowers.
Elaboration - Students work in groups of two, observe 5 pictures of flowers(labelled A-E) and are
asked to determine whether they are insect or wind pollinated and why.
Consolidation:
EvaluationStudents are then given a work sheet to complete containing a fill in the blank exercise.
3
Teacher ask student to exchange papers to correct worksheet.

Teacher recaps main points of the lesson.
