INSTRUCTIONAL PROCEDURES

PERIOD 1: Reproduction in plants

PRESENTATION

TEACHER’S ACTIVITY

PUPIL’S ACTIVITY

STEP 1

INTRODUCTION

The teacher revises the previous lesson on reproduction in plants

Pupils pay attention

STEP 2

EXPLANATION

The teacher describes the parts of a flower concerned with pollination and fertilization

The male and female parts of a plant are the key elements in pollination. The male parts include the anther and filament, which together are called the stamen. The stamen produces the pollen. The female parts are the stigma, the style, and the ovary at the base of the flower, which together are called the carpel

She also explains the meaning of pollination and fertilization

Pollination is the act of transferring pollen grains from the male anther of a flower to the female stigma

Fertilization is a process of sexual reproduction, which occurs after pollination and germination. Fertilization can be defined as the fusion of the male gametes (pollen) with the female gametes (ovum) to form a diploid zygote.

Pupils pay attention and participates

STEP 3

DEMONSTRATION

She further outlines states the stages of development from flower to fruit

1. The seed

2. germination

3. growth

4. reproduction

5. pollination

6. seed spreading stages.

 

She further differentiates between pollination and fertilization

The main difference between pollination and fertilization is that pollination is the deposition of pollen grains from the anther to a stigma of a flower whereas fertilization is the fusion of the haploid gametes, forming a diploid zygote.

Pupils pay attention and participate

STEP 4

NOTE TAKING

The teacher writes a short note on the board

The pupils copy the note in their books

PERIOD 2 AND 3: Table tennis. Search engine

PRESENTATION

TEACHEIR’S ACTIVITY

PUPIL’S ACTIVITY

STEP 1

INTRODUCTION

The teacher revisits the previous lesson on hockey
