Lesson Plan: Photosynthesis for Grade

11 Biology

Competency:
Identify and describe the process of photosynthesis, including the key components
involved (light, chlorophyll, water, carbon dioxide, and glucose); explain the chemical
equation of photosynthesis and its significance to plant life and the environment;
illustrate the different stages of photosynthesis.
(DepEd K to 12 Curriculum Guide)

Objectives:
1. Describe the process of photosynthesis and identify its key components. (Biology-11-
PS1-1)
2. Explain the chemical equation of photosynthesis and its importance to plant survival
and environmental health. (Biology-11-PS1-2)
3. Illustrate and differentiate the light-dependent and light-independent (Calvin cycle)
stages of photosynthesis. (Biology-11-PS1-3)

Grade Level:
11th Grade

Subject:
Biology

Lesson Duration:
60 minutes
1. Review (10 minutes)
Activity: "Photo Puzzle"
 Instructions:
Prepare picture cards showing different parts of a plant (leaf, chloroplast, water droplet, sunlight,
CO₂ molecule).
Students work in pairs to match the pictures with terms like "photosynthesis," "chlorophyll,"
"water," "carbon dioxide," and "glucose."
 Purpose:
Reinforce prior knowledge of basic plant parts and their functions related to photosynthesis.

2. Motivation (5 minutes)

Activity: "The Green Power Plant"


 Instructions:
Show a short, engaging video clip (2-3 minutes) illustrating how plants produce their own food
using sunlight.
Ask students:

 "Have you ever wondered how plants turn sunlight into food?"
 "Why do you think photosynthesis is essential not just for plants but for all living things?"

 Purpose:
Spark curiosity and establish relevance of photosynthesis to life on Earth.

3. Activity (20 minutes)

Workshop: "Build Your Own Photosynthesis Model"


Materials Needed:

 Cardboard or foam board


 Colored paper or markers
 Small LED light source (or flashlight)
 Plastic bottles filled with water
 Small CO₂ balloons or models
 Diagram handouts of the photosynthesis process

Instructions:

i. Divide students into small groups.


ii. Each group constructs a 3D model representing the chloroplast with labeled parts (thylakoid,
stroma).
iii. Use colored paper to depict sunlight, water, carbon dioxide, and glucose.
iv. Use the LED light to simulate sunlight shining on the chloroplast model.
v. Students explain the process as they build, highlighting the roles of each component.

Purpose:
Engage students in hands-on learning, visualizing the process, and understanding the
components involved.

4. Analysis (10 minutes)

Activity: "Photosynthesis Flowchart"


Instructions:
Students create a flowchart on a large sheet or digital platform showing the sequence of light-
dependent and light-independent reactions.

 Include inputs, processes, and outputs.


 Use arrows, symbols, and brief descriptions.

Discussion:
Students present their flowcharts, and the class discusses the significance of each stage and
component.

Purpose:
Develop critical thinking and reinforce understanding of the stages and their sequence.

5. Abstraction (5 minutes)

Activity: "Chemical Equation Match"


Instructions:
Provide students with jumbled parts of the photosynthesis equation:

 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂


Students rearrange and match the parts correctly.

Discussion:
Explain the significance of the balanced chemical equation and how it illustrates energy transfer
and biological importance.


Purpose:
Abstract the concept of the chemical process into a simplified, memorable form.

6. Application (5 minutes)

Problem-Solving Scenario:

Scenario:
A farmer notices that his plants are wilting despite watering them regularly. He considers the
impact of sunlight and carbon dioxide on plant health.


Task:
Students suggest ways to improve photosynthesis in the plants and explain how understanding
photosynthesis can help in agricultural practices.


Purpose:
Connect classroom learning to real-world environmental and agricultural issues.

7. Assessment (10 minutes)

Questions:
1.

Multiple Choice:
What is the main pigment involved in photosynthesis?
a) Carotene
b) Chlorophyll
c) Hemoglobin
d) Melanin
Answer: b) Chlorophyll

2.
3.

True or False:
Photosynthesis occurs only during the daytime when sunlight is available.
Answer: False

4.
5.

Fill in the blanks:


The process of photosynthesis converts light energy into chemical energy stored in ____.
Answer: glucose
6.
7.

Multiple Choice:
Which part of the plant cell is primarily responsible for photosynthesis?
a) Nucleus
b) Mitochondria
c) Chloroplast
d) Cell wall
Answer: c) Chloroplast

8.
9.

Short Answer:
Explain why photosynthesis is important for maintaining atmospheric oxygen levels.
Answer:
Photosynthesis produces oxygen as a byproduct, which is essential for the respiration of most
living organisms, maintaining the balance of oxygen in the atmosphere.

10.

8. Assignment

Homework:
Draw and label a detailed diagram of the photosynthesis process, including all key components
and stages. Write a brief paragraph explaining how sunlight energy is transformed into chemical
energy during photosynthesis. Additionally, research and write 3 ways humans benefit from
photosynthesis.

Additional Resources:

Questions:
1. How does chlorophyll contribute to photosynthesis?
2. Describe the role of water in the light-dependent reactions.
3. What are the products of photosynthesis, and why are they important?
4. How do environmental factors like light intensity and carbon dioxide concentration affect
photosynthesis?
5. Why is photosynthesis considered the foundation of the food chain?
Interactive Activities:

Photosynthesis Simulation Game:


Use online platforms or apps where students can simulate the process, adjusting variables like
light intensity and CO₂ levels to see effects.


Role-Playing Activity:
Assign students roles as molecules involved in photosynthesis (e.g., chlorophyll, water, CO₂).
Have them act out the process to reinforce understanding.

Quiz Relay:
Create a quiz game where teams answer questions about the stages, components, and
significance of photosynthesis to earn points.
