Lesson plan

Class : primary 3 Date: 10/04/2019 Duration: 45 mins

Class profile:
27 students ages 11 – 12. Their proficiency in the English Language
is good but their scientific and general knowledge are limited
Time-table fit:
In the previous lesson: The Ss learned the life cycle of a plant.
In this lesson: They will learn about the Photosynthesis process.
In the following lesson: The Ss will learn the food chain.
Measurable objectives:
Given colored pictures of plant, sun, air and soil SS should be able to
create a roleplay about the photosynthesis process within 5 mins.
(Cognitive domain 6: create)
Given worksheets of unlabeled drawing of the photosynthesis process ss
should be able to label the diagram within 3 minutes. (Cognitive
domain1: remember)
Other learning domains:
Move around during the roleplay (psychomotor)
Compete (affective)
Background knowledge:
Students already had a general concept that plants make their own food
in the leaf when they learned the parts of the plant and their function.
 Anticipated problems:
Academic:
1) Ss may not be able to pronounce the word Photosynthesis.
Solution: divide the word into short vowels to help them to pronounce
it smoothly.
Disciplinary:
1) Ss may cause a noise during the roleplay.
Solution: encourage them by the sad and happy face list.
Materials and Visual Aids:
1. Course book and workbook.
2. Lesson plan notebook.
3. White board markers.
4. Flash cards of pictures of plant, soil, sun and air for the
presentation and the roleplay.
5. Worksheets of the photosynthesis diagram for the guided
activity.

Stage Aim Procedure Students' Time

Interact
-ion
Warmer to help SS put aside What
their in the red box? game 1 mins
daily distractions
and focus on the subject

Recycling To make sure SS have PowerPoint short quiz to revise 2 mins

the needed background plant life cycle
knowledge
Lead in To capture the students T: you know, I'm so hungry. 7 mins
attention to the new can you give me some of your food,
lesson Please?
Ss: sure.
T: so, who has vegetables?
S: me
T: nice, what about fruits
Do you have any?
S: I have this.
T: excellent, you know I'm also
thirsty ,Who has water?
 Now ,what about my friend
plantinoo
How can it eat?
Can it also eat from your lunch boxes
like me?
Ss: no it can't.
T: then, How could it eat?
Ss: it makes its own food
T: how?
Ss: by the leaf.
T: wonderful, can you figure what the
Process called?
Ss: ……….
T: ok, what is a pic called?
Ss: photo
T: very good, so it is photosynthesis

Presentation To illustrate the T:do you know that my friend 7 mins

photosynthesis process Plantinoo has nice friends like you
and its importance. which helping him to make his
own food ,do you want to meet
them?
Ss: sure.
T:the first one is the sun which give
him its light ( sunlight)
the second one is the soil which give
him( water and mineral)
the third one is the air which give
him(carbon dioxide)
Elicit the definition T:now we know that..
Photosynthesis: it is the process
when the green plants make food
from water ,minerals and
carbon dioxide using sunlight.
Concept To check that SS T:now,the plants make their own
understood food by which process?
checking Ss: photosynthesis
T: very good, from………
Ss: water, minerals and carbon
dioxide
T: excellent ,by using
Ss: sunlight
Blackboard for SS to refer to later Elicit the board work while writing. 5 mins

consolidation
Guided To make SS remember Instructions: 5 mins
what they learned  worksheet activity
Production with T’s help  Students work in pairs to label
& guidance the diagram.
 Activity time 5 min.
 Check instructions
 Give them the handouts
 Monitor providing help
whenever needed.
 Feedback is taken in 2 min.
Activity Target: ( knowledge &
remember)

Less guided To make SS apply what Clean the board before beginning 12 mins
they learned with this activity.
Production minimum T guidance Instructions:
 Now it’s time to have some fun
 We will play a game.
 You are going to work in
groups of 4 students each.
 Each team will make a roleplay
to illustrate the photosynthesis
process using the flash cards
of sun, soil,air and plant.
 The group that performs the
best roleplay wins.
 We have 5 minutes to prepare
the script.
 Check instructions
 begin the activity
 feedback is taken in 2 minutes
(Activity Target: creation)
Concluding To check & summarize Summing up: 2 mins
the lesson Photosynthesis: it is the process
when the green plants make food
from water ,minerals and
carbon dioxide using sunlight.

Unguided To give SS practice Homework: 1 min

at home Do the exercises in the student’s
Production Book P18.
Objectives: PHOTOSYNTHESIS
By the end of this 10/04/2019
session Ss will be New terms
able to: Photosynthesis: it is the process when the green Photosynthesis
1. define the plants make food from water ,minerals and Sunlight
Photosynthesis process. Carbon dioxide
carbon dioxide using sunlight
2. create a roleplay
that illustrate
photosynthesis.
