Answer:
1. Plant

3. Sunlight
4. Carbon dioxide
C. Presenting examples/instances of the new Plants make their food using
lesson sunlight, water, carbon dioxide and
(PRESENTATION OF THE LESSON) nutrients and minerals from the soil.
This process is
called photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis is the process by

which plants use sunlight, water, and
carbon dioxide to create oxygen and
energy in the form of sugar.

 Photosynthesis, the process by which green plants and

certain other organisms transform light energy into
chemical energy. During photosynthesis in green plants,
light energy is captured and used to convert water,
carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-
rich organic compounds.
 The process is called photosynthesis because plants use
light, or photo, from the sun to make, or synthesize, their
chemical food energy. As you already know,
photosynthesis is the term for the process that plants use
to make their food energy. They do this by converting
sunlight into chemical energy.
D. Discussing new concepts and  The importance of photosynthesis:
practicing new skills 1 1. The rate of photosynthesis influence the productivity of
(DISCUSSION) agricultural crops.
2. It ensures that all living species have access to oxygen in
the atmosphere.
3. It keeps the ecosystem's oxygen and carbon dioxide levels
in check.
4. Plants are the source of fossil fuels.
5. Energy is locked in fuel as a result of photosynthesis in the
sun.

 The role of plants in the ecosystem

Plants form the critical base of food chains in nearly all
ecosystems. Through photosynthesis, plants harvest the
energy of the sun, providing both food and habitat for other
organisms.
For example, plants are fed upon by insects, which may be
 eaten by birds, which are in turn are eaten by birds of prey,
and so on.

E. Discussing new concepts and practicing new Outdoor Activity: Stop, Observe, and Listen!
skills 2 1. The teacher will take students outside to observe plants
(DEEPENING) and discuss photosynthesis in a real-world context.
2. After discussing, the students will have their individual
activity.

F. Developing Mastery Direction: Write an essay on how you can apply your
(POST – ACTIVITY) understanding of photosynthesis in everyday life. The essay
should consist of 3-5 sentences.

G. Finding practical applications of concepts

and skills in daily living. Direction: The class will be divided into 3 groups, each group
(APPLICATION) will create a flowchart of the photosynthesis process using
chart paper and markers. After making their flowchart, they
will present it in front of the class to describe the process and
the importance of photosynthesis.

The teacher has prepared rubrics for scoring this

performance.

H. Making generalizations and abstractions 1. What is your understanding in the process of

about the lesson photosynthesis?
(GENERALIZATION) - Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight,
water, and carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and energy as
sugar. (The answer may vary)

2. Why do we say this process is photosynthesis?

- Photosynthesis refers to the process by which plants use
light or photo from the sun to produce chemical food energy.
(The answer may vary)

3. How did you say that the plant is important in our

ecosystem?
- Plants are the foundation of food chains in almost all
ecosystems. (The answer may vary)

4. Give some importance of photosynthesis in our life.

- It maintains the ecosystem's oxygen and carbon dioxide
levels. (The answer may vary)

5. Could you summarize what you have learned about

photosynthesis?

I. Evaluating learning A. Multiple choice

(ASSESSMENT) Direction: Choose the correct letter of the answer and write
it on your paper.

1. What do you call in the process where plants make their

food using sunlight, water,and carbon dioxide?
a. Preserving c. Fertilization
b. Photosynthesis d. Observing

2. Where do the plants harvest energy to make its own food?

a. Moon c. Animals
b. Human d. Sun

3. It is a substance in all green plants, especially in the leaves.

a. Chlorophyll c. Water
 b. Glucose d. Light

4. These are the necessary to do Photosynthesis, except

a.Carbon dioxide c. Energy
b. Water d. Sunlight

5. Why is the process by which a plant produces its own food

called to as photosynthesis?
a. Because plants use water and air to make food.
b. Because plants use light, or photo, from the sun to make
food.
c. Because plants use chemicals to make food.
d. Because plants needs fertilizers to make food.

B. Fill in the blanks

Direction: Look at the picture and fill in the blanks using the
words at the box. ( 2 points each)

Photosynthesis is a process where plants use

1. ____________ from the sun convert 2. ___________ from the
air and 3. _______________ from the soil into 4. _______________
to feed and 5. _______________ is given out in the air.

Answer:
A. B.
1. B 1. light
2. D 2. carbon dioxide
3. A 3. water
4. C 4. sugar
5. B 5. oxygen

V. ASSIGNMENT Direction: Make/draw a comic strip that illustrates the

process of photosynthesis.
