School: Quezon Institute of Technology Grade level: Grade 9

Teacher: Sir Jasper Jezz C. Ledesma Learning Area: Photosynthesis/Respiration

Time and Date: Quarter: 3rd Quarter

I. Objectives
a. The learner demonstrates the understanding of the structure and function of plants involved in
photosynthesis
b. The learner should be able to design and conduct an investigation to provide evidence that
plants can manufacture their own food.

Introductory activities

A. Greetings
“Good morning class!” “Good morning Sir!”

B. Opening prayer
“Earl, lead us the prayer!”
“In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy
Spirit, Amen!”
“Please be seated.”

C. Checking of Assignment
Okay! “Leaders of the group, did you check the “Yes Sir1”
assignment of your group members?”

Activity/Strategy

Motivation

“Our topic for today is about this,”

 (Teacher will present a diagram of photosynthesis
to the class.)

“So who can tell me what the diagram is all about? Jan Mae: “Balancing equation ma’am because there
Moreover, why do you think so? Yes, Jan Mae?” is a chemical equation.”

“Okay thank you Jan Mae. How about you Lydia?”

“Thank you also Lydia. So Lydia’s right, this

diagram represents the process of photosynthesis.”

Analysis
“So our topic for today is all about photosynthesis”

(The teacher will flash pictures.)

“Class what do you think is the significance of those

pictures? Yes Bridgette?” Bridgette: “They are important raw materials or the
reactants for photosynthesis.”

“Is it correct class?”

“Okay, that’s correct. It is true that carbon dioxide, “Yes ma’am.”

water and light energy are the important factors in the
process of photosynthesis. What do you think is the
role of light in this process? Yes Ermine?”
Ermine: “Without the presence of light energy
“Ermine is correct. The light energy is very coming from the sun, plants cannot make their own
important in the process of photosynthesis. The food.”
captured light energy from the sun is used to produce
the glucose/sugar, which is the food of the plant and
the oxygen. Is it clear?
“Yes ma’am.”

“Based from the explanation that you had heard a

while ago. What is now the general chemical
reaction/equation of photosynthesis? Yes Jade?”
“Jade is correct. Now the general balanced equation
of photosynthesis is;
Jade: “The reactants are the carbon dioxide, water
and light energy while the products are the glucose
and oxygen.’

6CO2+6H2O+Light energy C6H12O6+6O2

Are there any questions?”
“None ma’am.”
Abstraction

“Okay let’s come now to the process of

photosynthesis. I have here a video presentation. “Yes ma’am.”
While you are watching take note on how the process
occurs. Okay class?”

(After the video presentation)

“So what is now the first step/place that takes place Elizabeth: “The chlorophyll which is the green
in the process? Yes Elizabeth? pigment inside the chloroplast in the plant cells
captures the energy coming from the sun.”

“Very well said. Who else? Yes, Hatori?” Hatori: “The captured light energy is used to produce
glucose from water and carbon dioxide.”

“That’s correct last one. Yes, Jemarie?” Jemarie: “The sugar/glucose produce are used by the
plant cells for energy and also oxygen exits through
the stomata on the underside of the leaf.”

“Yes all that you have been said are true. Basically
that is how the food making of the plant happens. Are “None ma’am”
there any questions?”

“So much for that get one half sheet of paper”

Application

Testing different elements needed for photosynthesis.

1. Put one plant in bright light, one plant in dim light, and one plant in the dark and see what happens.
2. Water one plant heavily, one plant a little, and another plant not at all.
3. Put one plant outside, one plant in an enclosed space, and another plant inside a plastic bag with most
of the air forced out.

Assessment
Enumeration and Identification
1-3 the reactants in the process of photosynthesis
4-5 the products in the process of photosynthesis
6. It captures the light energy from the sun.
7. It is a process whereby plants manufacture their own food.
8. It is where oxygen exits and it is found underside of the leaf.
9-10 the general balanced chemical equation of photosynthesis
Assignment
Study the next topic and answer the Enrichment Activity on a one whole sheet of paper on pp. 174.
