Learning Objectives

By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:

1. Identify the different parts of a plant.
2. Understand the basic needs of plants.
3. Explain how plants grow.

---

Materials Needed

• Pictures or diagrams of plants
• Samples of real plants (if available)
• Whiteboard and markers
• Plant growth video (short segment)
• Activity sheets with plant diagrams for labelling

---

Introduction (5 minutes)

Begin the lesson by asking the students if they have ever seen a plant and what types of plants they know. Discuss the importance of plants in our environment, including how they provide food, oxygen, and shelter. Show some pictures or diagrams of various plants to capture their interest.

Main Teaching (15 minutes)

1. Parts of a Plant

• Roots: Explain that roots anchor the plant in the soil and absorb water and nutrients.
• Stem: Describe how the stem supports the plant and transports nutrients.
• Leaves: Discuss the role of leaves in making food for the plant through photosynthesis.
• Flowers: Talk about how flowers help in reproduction and attract pollinators.

Activity: Use a diagram of a plant on the whiteboard and label each part with student input.

2. Needs of Plants

Explain the basic needs of plants:

• Sunlight: Discuss how plants need sunlight for energy.
• Water: Explain the importance of water for growth.
• Soil: Discuss how soil provides nutrients.
• Air: Briefly talk about how plants need air, especially carbon dioxide.

Activity: Show a short video clip of a plant growing to illustrate these concepts.

---

Activity (5 minutes)

Hand out activity sheets with a diagram of a plant. Ask students to label the parts of the plant we discussed earlier. Encourage them to draw a picture of a plant in their environment, highlighting where it gets its sunlight, water, and nutrients.

---

Conclusion (5 minutes)

Wrap up the lesson by reviewing the key points: the parts of a plant, what plants need to grow, and the importance of plants in our lives. Invite a few students to share their drawings or any thoughts they have on plants.

---

Assessment

Observe students during the activities to evaluate their understanding of plant parts and their needs. Collect the completed activity sheets to assess their ability to label the parts and apply their knowledge.

---

Extension

For students who finish early or show a strong interest, provided additional materials to explore different types of plants or even start a simple plant growing project in school.
