Lesson Proper Teacher’s Activity Learner’s Activity A. ENGAGE Before we start our lesson, let us have this activity. I have here a mystery box.
I will ask some volunteers to get the mysterious thing in this
box and he/she is going to describe and name that thing.
Are you ready? Yes!
1. Mosses 1. Mosses- no flowers
2. Fern - grow in moist places 3. Pine - small green plant with stem-like and leaf-like parts 2. Fern- no flowers - is a plant that has long stems with feathery leaves 3. Pine- grow in cold places - do not bear flowers - have cones -fast growing tall trees with needle-like evergreen leaves
Again, what are the plants inside the box? Ferns, mosses, and pine. What can you say about these plants? They can be seen in our surroundings. Do they have flowers? They do not have flowers.
What type of plants are they? They are examples of non-flowering plants/plants without flowers.
Based on your own idea, how do you think plants without They produce spores and cones to reproduce new plants. flowers reproduce? We will find out whose answers, are correct in our succeeding activities. Let's do this activity to help you figure out how non- flowering plants reproduce. B. EXPLORE
This time you will be divided into three (3) groups.
Problem: How do plants without flowers reproduce?
Group 1: The MOSS Group

What are found inside the capsule? 4. Given the diagram, study the life cycle of moss. How is the life cycle of moss differing from flowering plants?
Group 2: The FERN Group Group 2: The FERN Group
What to do: 1. Place the live fern on top of a clean paper. Identify the 1. (Point out the parts of fern) roots, stems, and fronds. 2. Spores. 2.

Study each stage in the life cycle of a fern. How flowering plants differ in reproduction with ferns?
Group 3: The PINE Group Group 3: The PINE Group
What to do: 1. Male pine cones create and release pollen. They 1. Study the life cycle of pine. Describe the stages in the generally grow on the lower parts of the tree. Pollen life cycle of pine. How pines differ in reproduction with is spread by the wind onto female cones that flowering plants. generally grow on the upper part of the tree. Pollination occurs and female cones begin to grow seeds inside of them. The hard scales of the cone protect the new seeds as they grow. 2. Pines reproduce by cones with seeds while flowering plants reproduce by flowers.
You will be given five (5) minutes in this activity.
C. EXPLAIN
Once you are done, you are going to choose a representative
to present your group work. Based on the activity, how do mosses reproduce? Mosses reproduce by spores.
Yes. Let’s take a look with this cycle.
Among mosses, the mature plant produces spores enclosed
in capsule and when mature capsule breaks to release spores, a kind of asexual reproduction. These spores germinate and grow to a mature plant which you see in moist places like flower pots, brick walls, forest floors and river banks. On the other hand, during the sexual reproduction, in the mature plant, sex organs, produce either the egg cells or sperm cells. Fertilization may occur to produce a zygote that will grow into a young plant. A moss plant has parts that develop spore and sex cells. Mosses then reproduce both sexually and asexually.
How about ferns?
They also produce spores for reproduction.
Among ferns, the plants that you see are those that produce spores on the underside of their leaves which are called fronds. When the spores are ejected from the spore cases and hit moist places, these germinate and grow into heart- shaped gametophytes that produce female and male sex cells. After fertilization the zygote grows into a young plant that is spore-bearing. The underground stems or rhizomes produce young plants.
How about the reproduction of pines?
Pines use cones for reproduction.
Conifers, like the pine trees, generally are found in places
like Baguio and cold countries. They have needle-like leaves and produce seeds in cones of mature plants. There are smaller male and bigger female cones that contain the reproductive cells. The seeds are naked or not enclosed by a fruit wall. When the seeds are released by the female cones, these germinate in moist soil.
D. ELABORATE
Now, let us watch this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15lKf26jdTQ , for you to have a deeper understanding about non-flowering plants. You can take down notes while watching the video. Ferns, mosses, liverworts, hornworts, horsetails, whisk What are the examples of non-flowering plants shown in fern, clubmoss, conifer, cycas, and ginkgo. the video ? What is the importance of these plants in our daily life? Cite Non-flowering plants do not bear flowers to make our a specific example. surroundings beautiful but they also play significant roles in our lives. For instance, ferns are important for home decorations, landscaping, and for floral arrangement. Fiddleheads, the newly formed leaves are eaten as salads. In addition, pine trees are sources of lumber, ornamental plants in park and Christmas decors. E. EVALUATE
Direction: Distinguish the reproduction of the non-
flowering plants given. Tell whether it is a cone bearing or spore bearing plant.
