Context of the lesson

This lesson is the second lesson on this unit, it include the basic facts about the plant cell.
Teaching goal
The overall aim of the lesson is to teach about the plant cell parts, and their functions. How it look like under
the microscope, and the graph.

Learning objective:

The ability to identify the plant cell under the microscope.

The ability to draw the plant cell, the parts, and know the functions.

Assumptions about prior learning

Student already know that there is a nucleus in each cell.
Anticipated problems and possible solutions

Play with the microscope: teacher will put them in line to be in order.

Planning Stages Within the 5-E Inquiry Model

Engage
PURPOSE:
to convey the context of the lesson(s)/unit by conveying an important Key Question
to engage students in investigations that reveal their thinking to themselves and the teacher
to record the initial ideas of students
to engage their interest
Key Question:
From what the plant made?
Questions for whole group discussion:
Question on the board "from what the plant made?"
Teacher

Teacher will put the question on the board; she will

ask the students to cut the leaf and try to separate
each cell of the plant.
Teacher want them to know that the cells make a
full plant.

Student

Students try to separate the cells by using the

Scalpel slicing. They need to find out that there are a
plant cells and they make the plant.

Explore
PURPOSE:
to test ideas and develop knowledge using explorations, investigations, experiments
to modify and record ideas as they change due to activities
to develop new questions and testable hypotheses
Activities (list)

Driving Question

Watch a video the five senses

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bmCfOo1Jpg

Teacher
Teacher will play the video for the students.
She will ask them this two questions:
What is the main parts of the plant cell?
Tell some functions for these parts?

What is the main parts of the plant cell?

Tell some functions for these parts?

Student

Will watch the video

Will try to answer the questions.

Student Communication Product:

Oral discussion for the questions.

Explain
PURPOSE:
to answer the Key Question through student explanations
to provide students with relevant vocabulary, formal definitions and explanations of concepts
Content Media: PowerPoint presentation
Clarifying Questions for Whole class Discourse
What is the function of the Cell wall?
What is the function of the Chloroplast?
What is the function of the Vacuole?
Teacher
She will explain the function of some parts on the
plant cell

Student

They will focus with the teacher

Elaborate
PURPOSE:
to extend students' conceptual understanding through application or practice in new settings
Activities:

Teacher

Student

Content Media: PowerPoint

presentation

Teacher will give the students

some colored papers, scissors,
glue and markers. She will ask
them to draw the plant cell and
write the main part of it.

Students will work in groups and

draw the plant cell with the main
parts name.

Extending/Application
Questions for Whole class
Discourse:
What the plant cell look like?
Try to draw it.

Evaluate
PURPOSE:
for students to assess their understand of the learning objectives
for the teacher to assess student understanding of the learning objectives

Teacher
Teacher will give each group some pise of paper
has the function of plan cell parts

Student

Students will put each function on the plant cell that

they draw it.
