ELABORATE (7 minutes)
Okay, class! Now that we’re done to our activities,
let’s dive into our main topic: Organelles of plant. Images of different organelles
shows.
PLANT ORGANELLES

Cell wall – “Plant Armor” it is a rigid layer which is


located outside the cell membrane. The primary
function of the cell wall is to protect and provide
structural support to the cell.

Cell Membrane – “Security Guard” The cell


membrane is semi-permeable, allowing certain
things like water, nutrients, and waste to pass in
and out, while also protecting and supporting the
cell.

Nucleus – “The Boss” It controls and regulates all


cell activities. And it contains the cell’s DNA.

Mitochondria - “The Powerhouse” mitochondria


are like batteries. They turn food into energy that
the cell needs to do its job.

Cytoplasm – “The Jelly” cytoplasm provides a


space for organelles to move and work inside the
cell.

Chloroplast – “The Battery” They are responsible


for photosynthesis. It is color green because of the
pigment called chlorophyll.

Ribosomes – “Factories or Construction Workers”


they make proteins, which are used to build and
repair parts of the cell.

Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) – “The Roads” It


transports proteins to the different parts of the cell.

Vacuole – “Storage Room” It stores food, water,


nutrients and other waste materials in the cell.
Contain liquid called cell sap.

Golgi Body – “Mailman” It sorts, packages and


distributes cell products to where they are needed.

Class, do you have question/s?

If none, I will be the one to ask.

Question 1: Is animal cell and plant cell being the


same?
Why or How?

Excellent answer!

Plant cells and animal cells are both eukaryotic,


meaning they contain a nucleus and organelles,
but they have several key differences. One of the
most notable distinctions is that plant cells have a
rigid cell wall made of cellulose, which provides
structure and support, while animal cells only have
a flexible cell membrane. Additionally, plant cells
contain chloroplasts, which enable them to perform
photosynthesis and produce their own food; animal
cells lack chloroplasts and therefore cannot make
their own food. Another difference is in the
vacuoles: plant cells typically have one large
central vacuole that stores water and nutrients,
while animal cells have smaller, more numerous
vacuoles. These differences are crucial for the
distinct functions that plant and animal cells Sir, No,
perform in nature. they both have nucleus that’s why
they are same eukaryotic, however,
Question 2: Again, what is plant cell? there are some organelles that are

That is correct! purpose.
A plant cell is the basic unit of plants. It’s
eukaryotic, meaning it has a nucleus, and
multicellular, as plants are made up of many cells.
Plant cells also contain organelles.

Question 3: what are organelles?

Amazing!
Organelles are specialized parts inside a cell that
perform specific functions. In plant cells, each
organelle has a unique job to help the plant grow
and survive.

Question 4: what are the different organelles of


plant and their coined name?

That is awesome!

Question 5: what is the importance of plant


organelles?

Excellent answer!
Plant organelles are essential for various functions
that support plant life and growth. Chloroplasts
play a crucial role in photosynthesis, converting
sunlight into energy and producing glucose, which
fuels the entire ecosystem. Mitochondria are vital
for energy production through cellular respiration,
generating ATP for cellular activities. The vacuole Sir, Plant cells are eukaryotic cells

varying abilities and learning styles. Selecting appropriate resources that enhance
the lesson without overwhelming students is another hurdle. Time constraints often
make it difficult to balance depth of content with available instructional time.
Developing effective assessment strategies that accurately measure
understanding while being practical to administer can also be tricky. Finally,
maintaining flexibility in my plans is essential, as unexpected events or student
needs may arise during the lesson. Despite these challenges, I see them as
opportunities for growth in my teaching practice.
3. What feedback was/were giving by your Resource Teacher in your first draft/
succeeding lesson/ learning plans?
Feedback from my Resource Teacher on my lesson and learning plans
emphasized several key areas for improvement. They highlighted the importance
of clearly defining learning objectives to ensure alignment with state standards and
curriculum goals. Additionally, my Resource Teacher suggested incorporating a
variety of teaching strategies to engage different learning styles, which would
enhance student participation. They also recommended developing more specific
assessment methods to effectively measure student understanding. Overall, the
feedback focused on making my plans more adaptable and ensuring they met the

Reflecting on the lesson plan topic of "Organelles of Plants," I recognize the


importance of effectively conveying complex biological concepts to my students. This
topic not only introduces students to the fundamental building blocks of plant life but
also lays the groundwork for understanding broader biological processes. One key
aspect of this lesson was the challenge of making abstract concepts tangible. I aimed
to use visual aids, such as diagrams and videos, to illustrate the structure and function
of various organelles like chloroplasts, mitochondria, and the cell wall.
I found that engaging students with interactive activities, such as group
discussions and hands-on models, helped them grasp these concepts more
effectively. Additionally, I reflected on the need to differentiate instruction to cater to
diverse learning styles within my classroom. Some students thrived on visual learning,
while others benefited from auditory explanations or kinesthetic activities. By
incorporating a variety of teaching methods, I aimed to create an inclusive environment
where all students could connect with the material. Assessing student understanding
was another critical component of this lesson. I realized that formative assessments,
such as quizzes and group presentations, provided valuable insights into student
comprehension and allowed me to adjust my teaching strategies accordingly.
Overall, this lesson on plant organelles reinforced my belief in the importance
of thoughtful planning and adaptability in teaching. It highlighted the necessity of
fostering an engaging learning environment where students can explore and
understand complex scientific concepts. Moving forward, I will continue to refine my
approach based on student feedback and assessment results to enhance their
learning experiences further.
