General Characteristic

• 19 students
• 11 males
• 8 females
• Average age 9 – 10 years old
• LOTE – 3 FSM, 1 Asian, 3 Philippine
• 8 Chamorro

Mental, Social and Physical notes

• 1 Learning disability (The student needs extra time to complete task, need to repeat direction more than once, and needs guidance.)

Current knowledge, Prerequisites, and Notes and Learning Attitudes:

• The students are familiar with the germination of seed. They have been working with how do seeds grow into plants.
Learners Attitudes/Learning Style Attitudes:

• 45 percent of the students in the class are auditory learners: This will make it easy for the students record the results of the experiment. 30 percent of the students are visual learners: These students can create a graph chart of the data collected. 25 percent are auditor and kinesthetic learners: These students can demonstrate how to create a graph chart in the computer in Microsoft Excel and a digital camera take pictures of each plant.

Learning Style:

• 45% auditory learners
• 30% visual learners
• 25% Kinesthetic learners/hands on learners




Select Objectives

• Each group will be able to list the steps of the experiment.
• Each group will be able to write the results of their findings.
• Each group will be able to explain what happen to each plant.
• Each group will be able to use a digital camera to take pictures of each plant on day one and the last day of the experiment.
• Each group will transfer their data into graph into Microsoft excel.
• Each group will prepare a digital story telling presentation.

Select Materials

• 3 plants
• 4 index cards
• Graph paper
• Computer
• Digital Camera


Utilize Materials

• The material student in the group will collect the materials need for the activity.
• The leader of the group will read the direction and make sure that the steps are being followed.
• The record in the group will record a day-by-day data of the three plants.
• The other member or members of the group will create a day-by-day chart (recording the height, color and firmness).
• The group will transfer the created graph into Microsoft Excel.
• Each student in the group will write a report and create digital story telling presentation about their findings.
• Follow the procedures. (See Part A at the end)
• Question and Answer. (See Part B at the end)

Required Learner’s Response

A) After the activity, the students will be able to answer the questions.

• Which light helps plants grow healthy?
• Why?

Evaluate Learners

• Reflection about the effectiveness of the activity.
• Ask each group to retell the steps of the direction.
• Read each group’s report.
• Collect the explanation report of each group and their day-by-day picture of each plant.
• Have the group leader send you a graph chart of the data collected.
• Have each group present their presentation.











Part A

Procedures:

➢ Divide the class into groups of 4 to 5 students.

➢ Ask each group to choose a leader, spokes person, recorder, and a material person.

➢ Ask each group to place their three plants into different place. (One plant inside a box with no light, a second plant in the closet with a light bulb, and plant number three outside the classroom under the sun.)


➢ Ask the Material person to pick up the three plants.

➢ Read the direction with the class.

➢ Ask the class if they understand what they are going to do.

➢ On the sixth day of the experiment have each groups to report their group findings. (Go to part B segment 1)

➢ Have each group draw their graph on the board. (Go to part B segment 2)

➢ Now I want you to create a graph in the computer and a digital story telling presentation.

Part B

Question and Answer:

Segment 1

➢ Which group would like to go first?

(Ask the following question for each group.)

➢ Group__ what happen to plant one that had no light? Three outside the classroom under the sun?)

➢ Why?

➢ What happen to plant two in the closet with the light bulb?

➢ Why?

➢ What happen plant to three outside the classroom under the sun?

➢ Why?

➢ What can you do to make it healthy?


Segment 2

➢ Looking at each group findings about the plants, what dose a plant need to be healthy?

➢ Why?
