This lesson plan is for a 1st grade science class about the parts of flowers. It includes activities to introduce and reinforce vocabulary like flower, petals, pollen, stem, leaves and roots. Students will label a flower, listen to and sing "The Parts of a Flower Song", and make a flip book with labeled flower parts. The plan aims to identify and recognize flower parts, follow instructions, and use language through Total Physical Response methods. Assessment includes initial vocabulary checks and observing participation in classroom activities.

2. This Lesson Plan is designed for 1st Grade of Primary
Education. For this reason, it is important to adapt a
specific methodology for our students in order to meet the
three stages in learning (MMM):
• Meeting new language
• Manipulating new language
• Making the language your own

3. The activities are attractive enough to get
children’s attention and promote classroom
communication providing the learners with
situations that engage them in their leaning
process.

4. In this Lesson Plan students will:
• Identify and recognise the main parts of a
flower (flower, petals, pollen, stem, leaves
and roots).
• Follow instructions to label a flower.
• Listen to and to sing a song (The parts of a
flower song).
