#### **Part 1: Reproduction in Plants (30 minutes):**
1. **Introduction to Topic (5 minutes):**
- Define reproduction and its importance for plants.
- Explain the two types of reproduction: sexual and asexual.
2. **Detailed Explanation (10 minutes):**
- Use a diagram to explain the parts of a flower involved in reproduction (e.g., stamen, pistil).
- Discuss the processes of pollination and fertilization.
- Describe methods of asexual reproduction (e.g., budding, vegetative propagation).
3. **Activity - Flower Dissection (10 minutes):**
- Divide students into small groups and provide each group with a flower.
- Guide them to dissect the flower and identify its parts using a worksheet.
4. **Review and Questions (5 minutes):**
- Ask questions to ensure understanding.
- Encourage students to ask their own questions.
#### **Part 2: Table Tennis Game (30 minutes):**
1. **Introduction to Table Tennis (5 minutes):**
- Briefly explain the history and basic rules of table tennis.
- Show a short video demonstration if possible.
2. **Basic Techniques (10 minutes):**
- Demonstrate how to hold the racket and basic strokes (forehand, backhand).
- Emphasize the importance of eye-hand coordination and footwork.
3. **Hands-On Practice (10 minutes):**
- Organize students into pairs and allow them to practice hitting the ball back and forth.
- Offer guidance and correct techniques as needed.
4. **Mini-Game (5 minutes):**
- Set up a mini-game where pairs compete to see who can keep a rally going the longest.
#### **Part 3: Using a Search Engine (20 minutes):**
1. **Introduction to Search Engines (5 minutes):**
- Explain what a search engine is and how it works.
- Discuss the importance of using keywords and phrases.
2. **Demonstration (5 minutes):**
- Use a projector to demonstrate how to conduct a simple search (e.g., "reproduction in plants").
- Show how to refine search results using specific keywords.
3. **Activity - Searching for Information (10 minutes):**
- Provide students with a list of questions related to 'reproduction in plants' and ask them to use a search engine to find the answers.
- Encourage them to write down their findings.
#### **Conclusion (5 minutes):**
1. **Review:**
- Recap the key points from each part of the lesson.
- Highlight the main takeaways about plant reproduction, table tennis techniques, and using search engines.
2. **Homework:**
- Assign a short project where students have to find more information about an interesting plant reproduction method and share it in the next class.
3. **Closing:**
- Thank the students for their participation.
- Answer any last-minute questions.
