Subject: Science

Grade Level: Grade 9

Objective: Differentiate basic feature and importance of photosynthesis


and respiration

Learning across curriculum:

1) Mathematics: Students can calculate the rate of photosynthesis or respiration


using mathematical formulas and analyze the data.

2) English: Students can write a persuasive essay discussing the importance of


photosynthesis and respiration in sustaining life on Earth.

3) Social Studies: Students can research and present on the historical development
of our understanding of photosynthesis and respiration and their impact on society.

Elicit:

Teaching Strategy: Brainstorming

Instructional Materials: Whiteboard, markers

Anecdote 1: Share a story about how plants provide oxygen for us to breathe
and how humans rely on plants for food.

Anecdote 2: Discuss the traditional Filipino farming practices and how they
relate to photosynthesis and respiration.

Engage:

Teaching Strategy: Role-Playing


Instructional Materials: Costumes or props

1) Idea: Divide the class into groups and assign each group a role to represent either
photosynthesis or respiration. Have them act out the process and its importance.

2) Idea: Play a song about photosynthesis and respiration and have the students
analyze the lyrics to identify the key concepts.

Explore:

Activity 1: Photosynthesis vs. Respiration Race

Teaching Strategy: Cooperative Learning

Materials: Stopwatch, markers, large sheets of paper

Significance: This activity allows students to compare and contrast the


features and importance of photosynthesis and respiration in a fun and
competitive way.

Instructions:

1) Divide the class into two teams.

2) Each team will create a large poster with the heading "Photosynthesis" or
"Respiration."

3) On the signal, teams will race to write down as many features and importance of
their assigned process as they can within a given time.

4) After the time is up, teams will present their posters and discuss their findings.

Rubric:

- Accuracy of features and importance: 5 pts

- Presentation and clarity: 5 pts


Assessment Questions:

1) What is the main function of photosynthesis?

2) How does respiration contribute to the energy needs of living organisms?

3) Compare and contrast photosynthesis and respiration.

Activity 2: Photosynthesis and Respiration Diagrams

Teaching Strategy: Inquiry-Based Learning

Materials: Art supplies, poster board

Significance: This activity allows students to visually represent the processes


of photosynthesis and respiration and understand the relationship between
them.

Instructions:

1) Ask students to research and gather information on the processes of


photosynthesis and respiration.

2) Provide art supplies and poster board for students to create diagrams illustrating
the processes.

3) Students should label the key components and explain their functions.

Rubric:

- Accuracy of diagrams: 5 pts

- Clear labeling and explanations: 5 pts

Assessment Questions:

1) What are the main reactants and products of photosynthesis?

2) Explain how the structures of chloroplasts and mitochondria are related to the
processes of photosynthesis and respiration.

3) Describe the role of ATP in both photosynthesis and respiration.


Activity 3: Photosynthesis and Respiration Simulation

Teaching Strategy: Technology Integration

Materials: Computers or tablets with simulation software or online resources

Significance: This activity allows students to explore virtual simulations of


photosynthesis respiration to deepen their understanding of the processes.

Instructions:

1) Provide students with access to simulation software or online resources that


simulate photosynthesis and respiration.

2) Instruct students to interact with the simulations and observe the processes in
action.

3) Students should take notes on the key features and importance of photosynthesis
and respiration based on their observations.

Rubric:

- Participation and engagement: 5 pts

- Accuracy of notes and observations: 5 pts

Assessment Questions:

1) How does light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis?

2) Explain the role of enzymes in the process of respiration.

3) Discuss the impact of environmental factors such as temperature and availability


of carbon dioxide on photosynthesis and respiration.

Explain:
Teaching Strategy: Lecture and Discussion

Provide a detailed explanation of the basic features and importance of


photosynthesis andpiration, emphasizing the key differences between the two
processes. Encourage student participation through questions and discussions.

Elaborate:

Teaching Strategy: Project-Based Learning

Task 1: Design an Infographic

Task 2: Create a Model

Provide students with the opportunity to create an infographic that visually presents
the features and importance of photosynthesis and respiration. Additionally, students
can create a model that demonstrates the processes and their significance in a real-
life context.

Evaluate:

Teaching Strategy: Games and Gamification

Instructional Materials: Quiz game template, question cards

Question 1: True or False - Photosynthesis and respiration are complementary


processes that occur in all living organisms.

Question 2: Multiple Choice - Which process releases oxygen as a byproduct?

Question 3: Short Answer - Explain the relationship between photosynthesis


and respiration in terms of energy flow.

Extend:
Teaching Strategy: Case Studies

Instructional Materials: Case study scenarios

Present students with real-life scenarios where knowledge of photosynthesis and


respiration is necessary to solve problems or make informed decisions. Encourage
students to apply their understanding of the processes to these new situations.

Assignment:

Assignment 1: Research and Presentation

Assignment 2: Reflective Essay

Task students with conducting research on a specific aspect of photosynthesis or


respiration and present their findings to the class. Additionally, have students write a
reflective essay on the importance of photosynthesis and respiration in their daily
lives and the environment.
