4 A’S LESSON PLAN IN SCIENCE 7

I. OBJECTIVES

o Define asexual and sexual reproduction.

o Differentiate asexual and sexual reproduction.
o Identify examples of organisms that reproduce sexually and
asexually and explain why each method might be advantages
in their specific environment.

5. Setting of Classroom Rules

Before we start our lesson, let me give you my three
classroom rules. None, ma’am
a. Phone is not allowed during class hours. You
may only use it if I say so.
b. Be quiet. Listen attentively.
c. Lastly, raised a hand if you want to answer or if
you have a question
Are we clear about that?
Very Good!

Yes ma’am
B. DRILL
Let us have a game. I will show you a series of letters.

IV. LESSON PROPER
A. ACTIVITY
Now, we will have a trip inside the classroom. I will group
you into four.

The classroom has four learning Areas. Each of them

offers a different topic that you will observe and examine.
Write your notes as you go on. You will be guided by our
criteria.

I will assign each group to a Designated learning area.
After 2 minutes, you will proceed to the next learning area
until you finish visiting all learning areas.

(Designated learning areas for the groups:)

Group 1 – Area 1
Group 2 – Area 2
Group 3 – Area 3
Group 4 – Area 4

Learning Area 1: Vegetative Reproduction

“Can You Grow Plants from ‘Eyes’?”

1. In this activity, a potato tuber was cut into pieces and was
planted.
2. Observe and examine the changes in the tubers.
3. Where did the new plants come from?
4. How many parents did it need to reproduce new plants?
5. What plants reproduce in the same manner? Cite some
examples.

Learning Area 2: Pollination

“Can You Grow Plants from ‘Dust’?”

1. Study the male and female parts of the flower. What

qualities do they have?
2. What does the stamen have? What do we call dust-like
particles in it?
3. Look at the pistil.
4. What process spreads pollen to other plants? What
organisms aid in this process?
5. How many parents are needed to reproduce?

Learning Area 3: Internal Fertilization

“Sperm and Egg Cells”

1. Study the picture. Where

does a sperm cell come from? Where does an egg cell come
from?
2. How many organisms are needed to reproduce an offspring?
3. Does the offspring only have similarities in just one parent? (The

“A New Worm by Cutting?”
(Present a video clip about cutting a
segmented worm into two parts.)

1. Observe and study the video clip. What

organism is it? No, ma’am
2. What happened to the worm when it was
cut?
3. What happened to the separated part of the worm?

C. ABSTRACTION

 Let us recall our lesson today. What are the two kinds of
reproduction

Correct! How many parents do an organism need for an

asexual and sexual
reproduction?

D. APPLICATION
 If you are given a chance to choose between sexual and
asexual reproduction, what will you choose and why?
 How important is the environment when it comes to
producing an offspring?

V. EVALUATION
Write AR if the sentences refer to asexual reproduction and SR
for sexual reproduction.
1. AR
____1. Ginger and sweet potatoes can reproduce by planting 2. SR
their plant tubers in the soil. 3. AR
4. SR
____2. The male organism produces sperm cells, and the 5. AR
female organism produces an egg cell.

____3. Lisa cut a worm into two pieces. She was shocked when
she saw the two pieces move separately and independently.
____4. Male elements of a flower releases pollen to a female
element of the flower.

____5. Sponges have smaller parts that can grow and become
a different organism
VI. ASSIGNMENT
Read the sentences below.

1. If a starfish loses a body part, it grows itself a new one. The

separated part grows into a new independent starfish. Why do
you think this happened?

2. To produce desirable gumamelas, the farmer needs to

propagate a good variety of the flowers. What method can the
farmer use? Support your answer.
