Instructor: Mr. Danny Española Jr.

Subject: Science

Class: Grade 7A

Time: 8:30-9:30 am

I. Objectives

At the end of the lesson the students are expected to:

A. Illustrate the overall chemical reaction of photosynthesis.

B. Explain the process of photosynthesis.
C. Know the role of light in the process of photosynthesis.

II. Subject Matter

A. Topic: Photosynthesis

• Science Learner's Material 167-171
• http://www.youtube.com/photosynthesis.process
C. Materials:
• Powerpoint Presentation
• Illustrations
• Images
D. Concepts:
A. Photosynthesis is a process whereby plants manufacture their own food by trapping light
energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) into sugar/glocuse.
B. The process of photosynthesis are as follows:
Step 1: Chlorophlasts in theplant cells capture the energy from sunlight.
Step 2: The captured light energy is used to produce sugar and oxygen from water and CO2.
Step 3: Sugar produced are used by the plant cells for energy.
Step 4: Oxygen exits through stomata on the underside of the leaf.

 III. Procedure
A. Preliminaries

Teacher's Activity Student's Activity

A. Greetings: "Good morning Sir"

"Good Morning Class"
B. Opening Prayer:
"Earl, please lead the prayer"
"Please be seated."
C. Checking of Attendance:
"Ryan, are there any absentees today?
D. Checking of assignment:
"Leaders of the group, did you check the
assignments of your group members?"
Earl: "Let us put ourselves in the presence of the
Lord. In the name of the Father and of The Son and
the Holy Spirit. Praise be thy name of our Lord
Jesus Christ."
Others: " Now and forever, amen"
All: "In the name of The Father and of The Son and
of the Holy Spirit, amen."
Ryan: "There are no absentees today. All are
present Sir."
"Yes Sir"

B. Motivation

Teacher's Activity Student's Activity

"Our topic for today is about"

(Teacher will present a diagram of photosynthesis
to the class)
"So can anyone tell me what the diagram is all Kelpie: "Balancing equation Sir because there is a
about? Moreover, why do you think so? Yes, chemical equation."
Kelpie?"
"Okay, thank you Kelpie. How about you Lydia?"
"Thank you also Lydia. So Lydia's right, this
diagram represents the process of
photosynthesis."

C. Lesson Proper

Teacher's Activity Student's Activity

"So our topic for today is all about
photosynthesis."
(The teacher will flash pictures.)
"Class, what do you think is the significance of Bridgette: "They are important raw materials of
these pictures? Yes Bridgette? the reactants for photosynthesis."

"Is it correct class?" "Yes Sir"

"Okay, that's correct. It is true that carbon dioxide,
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 is correct. The light energy is very
important in the process of photosynthesis. The
captured light energy from the sun is used to
produce the glucose/sugar, which is the food of
the plant. Is it clear?"
"Based from the explanation that you have heard a
while ago. What is now the general equation of
photosynthesis? Yes Jade?
Ermine: "Without the presence of light energy
coming from he sun, plants cannot make their own
food."
"Yes Sir"
Jade: "The reactants are the carbon dioxide, water,
and light energy while the products are the
glucose and oxygen."
"None sir"

"Jade is correct. Now the general balanced

equation of photosynthesis is; 6CO2+6H2O+light
energy C6H12O6+6O2. Are there any questions?"
"Okay let's come now to the process of
photosynthesis. I have here a video presentation.
While you are watching, take note on how the
process occurs. Okay class?
(After the video presentation)
"So what is now the first step that takes place in
the process? Yes, Elizabeth?
"Very well said. Who else? Yes, Hatori?
"That's correct, last one. Yes, Jemarie?"
"Yes sir"
Elizabeth: "The chlorophyll which is the green
pigment inside the chloroplast in the plant cells
captures the energy coming from the sun."
Hatori: The captured light energy is used to
produce glucose from water and carbon dioxide."
Jemarie: "The sugar/glucose produced are used by
the plant cells for energy and also oxygen exits
through the stomata on the underside of the leaf."
"None Sir"

"Yes, all that you have said are true. Basically, that
is how the food making of the plant happens. Are
there any questions?"
"So much for that, get one-half sheet of paper."
