This lesson plan aims to teach students about fruits. It includes objectives, subject matter, learning strategies, and assessment. The objectives are for students to define fruit, illustrate fruit development, and describe different fruit types. The subject matter section covers defining fruit, fruit development through fertilization, and types of simple and compound fruits. Learning strategies include class discussions about fruits and a reflection assignment. Students will be assessed by answering questions about fruits within 5 minutes.

I. Objectives
At the end of the lesson, 75% of the students will be able to:
1. Define fruit
2. Illustrate the fruit development
3. Describe the different types of fruit
II. Subject Matter
1. PSSLC: Defining fruit, illustrating fruit development and describing the different
types of fruit.
2. Topic: Fruit
3. Reference: Botany Textbook (4th
Edition)
Author/s: Barnes, J.
4. Skills
 Defining fruit
 Illustrating fruit development
 Describing the different types of fruit
5. Science concept
 Fruit is the result from maturation of one or more flower.
 Fruit can be either simple or Compound. Simple fruit are those fruit
developed in one ovary. Compound fruit are those fruit developed in two
or more ovaries.
 Simple fruit can be either fleshy or dry. Fleshy fruit are fruit that pulpy at
maturity. Dry fruit can be dehiscent (opening or discharge seeds) or
indehiscent (not opening or discharge seeds).
 Compound fruit may be: Aggregate or multiple.
 Parts of fruit: Endocarp (inner layer), mesocarp (middle layer), and
exocarp (outermost layer).
 Fruit development: inside the ovary/ovaries are one or more ovules where
the mega gametophyte (female gamete) contains the egg cell. After
double fertilization, these ovules will become seed. The ovules are
fertilizing in a process that start with pollination. After pollination, a tube
grows from the pollen through the stigma into the ovary to the ovules and
two sperm are transferred from the pollen to the mega gametophyte.
Within the mega gametophyte one of the two sperm unites with the egg,
forming a zygote, and the second sperm enters the central cell forming
the endosperm mother cell, which completes the double fertilization
process. Later the zygote will give rise to the embryo of the seed, and the
endosperm mother cell will give rise to endosperm, a nutritive tissue used
by the embryo. As the ovules develop into seeds, the ovary begins to
ripen and it will become fruit.

E. Generalization
 A fruit is a result from maturation of one or more flowers. Fruit can be
either simple or compound, simple fruit are those fruit developed in single
ovary and it can be fleshy or dry while compound fruit are those fruit
developed in two or more ovaries and it has two types, aggregate and
multiple. Inside the ovary/ovaries are one or more ovules where the mega
gametophyte (female gamete) contains the egg cell. After double
fertilization, these ovules will become seed. As the ovules develop into
seeds, the ovary begins to ripen and it will become fruit.
IV. Assessment
Direction: in a ½ sheet of yellow paper, answer the following question within 5
minutes:
1. What is a fruit?
2. Illustrate the fruit development.
3. Descried the different types of fruit.
V. Assignment
Direction: in 1 whole sheet of yellow paper:
1. Make a reflection about fruit.
