Discuss:
Learning Circuit
• Plants have three
basic parts, the leaves, stem
and roots. Others bear flowers
while others do not.
• Plants that grow on
land are called terrestrial
plants. Some terrestrial plants
are small, others are big.

Discuss:
Remember!!!
• Aquatic plants are plants that
have adaptive to living within
aquatic environments. They also
referred to as hydrophytes.
These plants required special
adaptation for living submerged
in water or at the water’s
surface.

E. Discussing new concepts &
practicing new skills #2
There are plants with big
trunks (woody stem) while
others have soft stem.
• There are plants that
need plenty of water to grow,
while others need very little
water in order to survive.
• Terrestrial plants grow
in different places. There are
plants that grow directly on
soil while others grow on
rocks. Other plants cling to a
fence. Some climb up a tree.
• All plants have roots,
stem and leaves. Many also
have flowers which will
develop into seeds.
What do you think is the
common parts of terrestrial
plants?
• Terrestrial plants have root
and shoot systems. The types
of roots are taproot, fibrous
and adventitious. Shoot
system includes stem, leaves
and flowers. Leaves and stems
are classified as vegetative
parts of a plant while flowers
and fruits are reproductive
parts.
• Plants living in different
places are expose to varied
conditions however, are their
structures are suited to
particular needs. For example,
forest plants tends to row tall
and sturdy.
• Aquatic plants can only grow
in water or in soil that is
permanently saturated with
water. Aquatic vascular plants
can ferns or angiosperms (from
a varieties of families, including
among the monocots and
dicots). Seaweeds are not
vascular plants but multicellular
marine algae, and therefore not
typically included in the
category of aquatic plants.
• Hydrophytes do not have a
problem in retaining water, due
to the abundance of water in
their environment. This means
that aquatic plants have less
need to regulate transpiration,
which would require more
energy and be of little benefit to
the plant.

F. Developing Mastery (Leads
to Formative Assessment 3
•Shapes and sizes of the
leaves are also important for
survival. Plants like bananas
produce big, broad leaves to
efficiently trap more energy.
•Plants with waxy leaves help
to protect themselves from
dehydration as a result of too
much exposure to the
sunlight.
• Some plants have also
developed structures to store
water especially in the dessert.
Cactus is the best examples of
dessert plant.
•Roots of the plants adapt too
their habitat. They differ in
sizes and shapes too. These
characteristics are determined
by their functions.
