The document provides a unit plan for a science lesson on plants. The unit will last 3 weeks and involve students discovering how plants grow through experiments and group projects. Students will identify plant parts, seed germination, and factors needed for plant growth. They will create a PowerPoint presentation and present their findings to the class. The teacher will assess students before, during, and after the project through discussion, observation, rubrics, and reflection to evaluate their understanding of plant growth.

to the students to make it sure that students will understand their topic. After that, the teacher group their
students then they will have an experiment the plants based on what the teacher show through powerpoint.
Teacher also ask question to the students on how to develop plants and students answer based on what they
have learned. To make it sure that students understand, the teacher told their students to practice first
before they will start the experiment Ask students to find a group for the brief discussion and share it in front
of their classmates to give the feedback form or peer evaluation about their sharing discussion. Students
also use the checklist to help them prepare for a successful project. Teacher conducts teacher’s conference
after each activity the students have. This is to assess students understanding, critical thinking, collaboration,
and the research process. Conferences allow time for feedback, clarifying misunderstandings, or providing
additional lessons as necessary. As they go over with their project, teacher shows the rubric to remind
students of what they need to include in their discussion while they are working their project. The students
use the checklist for them to know if their projects are doing well. When the checklist is completed and

introduce and discuss the Essential Question that will be used throughout the unit,
‘How do plants help in our environment? Entail students to think individually about
the question and talk about their ideas to each other. Ask one of them to share
ideas within the whole class.
Introduce the unit question, ‘How does plants grow and multiply? Explain to
students that they will be exploring this question throughout the discussion and
project.
