Lesson Plan in Science, 9th Grade

September 2-6, 2019, Quarter 1

I. Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:
Objectives
a. Describe the general
external and internal
structures of a leaf and their
functions.
b. Differentiate the basic
features of photosynthesis
and cellular respiration.
c. Explain importance of
photosynthesis to certain
organisms.
Performance Standards:
Goal/s

understanding of how the
structure and function of plant
parts and organelles involved
in photosynthesis.
Measurables
a. Exploration: 65% of the
students describe the
structure of a leaf through the
laboratory experiment.
b-c. Explanation: 65% of the
students explain importance of
photosynthesis and
differentiate the basic features
of photosynthesis and cellular
respiration through interactive
discussion.

III. Procedure
A. Engagement
The students will have the activity called “Paint Me a Picture”. Each group of students will
portray a scenario given by the teacher using their bodies. Then, they will freeze for 30
seconds. The most creative and the most realistic portrayal win.

B. Exploration
Students will have a laboratory activity wherein they have to extract the chlorophyll of the
leaves. They will be guide by the procedure on the book pages138-139.

C. Explanation
Guide Question:
1. How does photosynthesis take place inside the leaves of plants?
2. What makes cyclic and non-cylic photophosphorylation different? What makes them
similar?

 3.
How important is photosynthesis to other organisms?
4. What makes the microorganisms important in plants’ food production?

C. Elaboration
Student will make a poster that illustrates photosynthesis and cellular respiration as two
factories.

IV. Evaluation
