       Lesson Plan of Plants (Flowering & Non-Flowering Plants)

                                             General Science Grade V

                                         Students’ Learning Outcomes

·         Compare flowering & non-flowering plants.


·         Classify the flowering plants into two major groups and give examples of each group.

Information for Teachers

Plants are classified into two major groups i. e. flowering plants and non- flowering plants.
·                  Some plants produce flowers and are called flowering plants e. g. orange, apple, wheat, rice, rose   etc.
·                  Some plants don’t produce flowers and are called non-flowering plants e. g. ferns, conifers etc.
·                All the flowering plants produce seeds in their life cycles. Their seeds are surrounding by the fruit.       They
usually have broad leaves.
·             All non-flowering plants don’t produce seeds. Conifers are the non-flowering plants that produce seeds. Their
seeds are not covered with fruit. They usually have needle-like leaves.

                                                Material / Resources

                                         Pictures of flowering & non-flowering plants, textbook.


                               

                                              Worm up Activity

·         Recall students’ previous knowledge through questions like:


         ---What do you mean by classification?
         ---Why do we classify animals?
        ---Can we classify plants also?
·         After students’ response announce the today’s topic.

                                        Development

   Activity 1

·         Arrange the students into appropriate number of groups.


·         Give pictures of different plants to each groups.
·         Ask each group to observe the plants shown in the pictures.
·         Students should discuss the visible structure and different parts of the plants within the group.
·         Ask students to share their own knowledge about these plants within group.
·         Ask the groups to share the important observations with the whole class (one member from each group
will present the observations).
·         Initiate and guide the class discussion through interactive questioning:
     --How the plants are different from one another? (Expected response: They are different in sizes. They
are different in shapes. Some plants have flowers and fruits while some don’t have.)
* Ask them on what basis we can classify them.(Expected response: shape, size and presence of
flowers).
* Conclude the activity by explaining the first level of the classification of plants i. e. flowering and non-
flowering plants.

    Activity 2

·         Write the main characteristics of the two groups on board and fill it by the students’ response.
Characteristics Flowering Plants Non-flowering Plants
Produce Flower Yes  No
Fruits Present Not present
Seeds Produce in All Not produce in all
Leaves Usually Broad Usually narrow
Examples Rose, Apple, Wheat Ferns, conifers

                                                  Sum up / Conclusion

·         Plants are classified into two major groups i. e. flowering and non- flowering plants.
·         All the flowering plants produce seeds in their life cycle. Their seeds are surrounded by fruits. They
usually have broad leaves.
·         The non-flowering plants don’t produce seeds. There seeds are not covered with fruit. They usually
needle like leaves.

                                                        Assessment

·         Ask the following questions to the students:


---What are the two major groups of plants?
---How the seeds of flowering plants are different from the seeds of some non- flowering plants?
---In what respects the flowering and non-flowering plants are similar?
---Name one flowering and one non-flowering plant used in our daily life.
---In which areas of Pakistan non-flowering plants are usually found?
·         Involve the students in solving the questions given at the end of chapter / unit in textbook.

                                                         Follow up

·         Ask the students to go for a nature walk in their surroundings with their parents and collect samples (for
example leaves) from the flowering and non-flowering plants
