What is new?
Get actual sample flowers in your garden, identify the plant from which each flower
came.
The learners will answer the questions below as part of identifying what
they already know. They will refer to their modules to identify the tasks
they need to accomplish.
1. Go out to your house and visit your garden. You should bring with
you your pencil and notebook.
2. Observe the flowers in your garden. Note do not pick flowers without
any permission to your parents.
3. Draw different flowers you have found in your garden. Identify and
label the parts of each flower.
Exercise 3:
Match each phrase in column A with the correct term in column B.
A (Function) B (Part)
1. Male reproductive a. Filament
organ of a flower b. Stamen
2. The swollen base of a c. Ovule
pistil d. Stigma
3. Sticky part of the pistil e. Ovary
4. Holds the anther in f. Style
place.
5. Where an egg is
produced
What is in?
As shown below, the learners will assess their own knowledge, skills and attitude/values
relative to the target concept presented in the MELC.
In plants, gametophyte generation gives rise to haploid or male and
female sex cells (gametes). A diploid zygote germinates into asexually
reproducing sporophyte generation. This reproduces by forming spores
which germinate. In lower plants such as liverworts and mosses, the
gametophyte generation is dominant, but in flowering plants the
gametophytes are reduced to microscopic proportions.
The reproductive organs of a plant are in its flowers; the stamen and
pistil.
The stamen is the male reproductive organ of the flower. It consists of a
filament and an anther. Pollen grains form in the anther. The sperms
develop in the pollen grains.
The female reproductive organ of the flower is the pistil. A pistil consists of
a sticky stigma, a style ( a long stalk-like structure that connects the
stigma and the ovary); and an ovary, (the swollen base of a pistil where
ovules are formed). As the ovules are developed, eggs are produced.
When pollen grains land on the sticky stigma, the flower is pollinated.
When a pollen grain germinates, its long tube travels down to the ovary.
Inside the pollen tube, the sperms develop. Ones unites with the egg and
forms a zygote; the other unites with the polar nuclei and forms the
endosperm. The zygote develops into a plant embryo.
What is it?
The learners will read and understand the concepts that they need to
know and understand. These concepts, as presented below, revolve
around the prime information about the learning targets.
Some plants reproduce using their parts like roots, stems, and leaves.
However, there are some plants which reproduce by using their accessory
part-the flower.
1. Receptacles supports the base of the flower
2. Sepals protects the flower when not yet blooming, also supports the
base of the flower.
3. Petals its bright colors attract pollinators
4. Filament holds the anther in a high position for release of pollen.
5. Anther holds the pollen sacs
6. Pollen sac contains and releases the pollen grains.
7. Style connects the stigma to the ovary, also traps the pollen grains.
8. Stigma structure which receives the pollen grains, stimulates the pollen
grain to germinate and reach the ovary.
9. Ovary holds the egg cells which are to be fertilized by the sperm from
the pollen grains.
Pollination – the transfer of the pollen grains from the anther to the stigma.
1. Animals and other agents that aid in sexual reproduction of plants are
agents of pollination.
2. There are two kinds of pollination
-Self-pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther to
the stigma of the same flower or of a different flower that belongs to
the same plant.
-Cross-pollination is the transfer of pollen grains from the anther of
a flower to the stigma of another flower that belongs to another plant
but of the same kind. Cross pollination is the most common form of
pollination.
C. Engagement
What is more?
Through their modules, the learners will be provided with varying real-life
activities that will strengthen their learned concepts as discussed in the
Development phase.
What to Do:
1. Carefully remove the sepals of the gumamela
2. Open the flower and try to identify the parts
3. Draw the respective parts of the gumamela flower on a piece of paper
4. Do the same with the other flower
5. Compare the gumamela with the other flowers
Questions:
1. Do all flowers have an anther and a filament?
2. Do all the flowers have stigma, style, and ovary? Why do flowers have male
and female parts?
3. What do you call flowers that do not have either of the main parts?
How do you think flowers with incomplete parts reproduce?
What can I do?
On Point
I value these
1. Flowers are important because ___________________________.
1. I like flowers because _________________________________.
What else I can do?
Let’s Go Beyond:
Answer the following questions briefly:
1. Differentiate a complete flower from an incomplete flower.
2. Differentiate a perfect flower from an imperfect flower.
Can a perfect flower be incomplete? Why?
The learners will demonstrate their ideas and gained knowledge as to how
these are used and useful in one’s day-to-day living experiences.
Instruct the learners to draw a complete flower in their notebook and make a table listing
parts and functions
