LESSON PLAN

Lesson Title: Photosynthesis and Plant Growth


Grade Level: 5th Grade
Subject: Science
Lesson Duration: 60 minutes

Lesson Objectives:
 Students will understand the process of photosynthesis and its importance in plant
growth.
 Students will be able to explain the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis.
 Students will identify factors that affect plant growth.

Materials Needed:
 Whiteboard and markers
 Projector and screen
 Diagrams or illustrations of photosynthesis
 Potted plant
 Sunlight or grow light
 Soil and watering can
 Magnifying glasses
 Notebook and pencils

Prior Knowledge:
Basic understanding of plant structure and function.

Lesson Introduction:
 Begin with a question: "Have you ever wondered how plants grow and produce their
food?"
 Show a picture of a healthy plant and explain that today, we will learn about
photosynthesis and its role in plant growth.

Instructional Strategies:
 Use a mix of visual aids, discussions, and hands-on activities to engage students.

Content Presentation:
Photosynthesis (15 minutes)
 Explain that photosynthesis is how plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to
produce glucose (sugar) and oxygen.
 Use diagrams to illustrate the process of photosynthesis.
 Discuss the importance of photosynthesis in providing energy for the plant and
releasing oxygen into the atmosphere.

Chlorophyll (10 minutes)


 Introduce chlorophyll, the green pigment in plant cells responsible for capturing
sunlight.
 Discuss how chlorophyll helps in photosynthesis.

Factors Affecting Plant Growth (10 minutes)


 Explain that photosynthesis plays a crucial role in plant growth.
 Discuss factors affecting plant growth, such as sunlight, water, nutrients, and
temperature.

Activity 1: Observing Photosynthesis (10 minutes)


 Place a potted plant in front of the class near a window or under a grow light.
 Discuss how the plant needs sunlight for photosynthesis.
 Use magnifying glasses to let students observe plant leaves closely and look for
chlorophyll.

Activity 2: Hands-on Planting (10 minutes)


 Have students plant a seed in a small pot filled with soil.
 Explain the importance of providing water and sunlight for the plant to grow.
 Assign students to take care of their potted plants at home as a class project.

Closure: (5 minutes)
 Review the main points of the lesson.
 Ask students what they learned about photosynthesis and plant growth.

Assessment:
 Assess students through class participation, responses to questions, and their ability to
care for their potted plants.
