Section outline

  • Context: 


    * Due to the Covid-19 Lockdown (Level 4), school is closed physically, but classes remain active via distant learning online.  The most important aim is to ensure students stay safe and calm and still experience some level of normality during this period of nationally enforced self-isolation.

    * Using Google Meet  as our online lesson platform; instructions have been given to students and some time is expected for the new format of routine and expectations to be established.

    FOCUS / ARONGA

    FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

    • We are FOCUSING on plant biology so as to develop a good understanding of plant systems and plant reproduction.
    • We are FOCUSING on flower in order to identify the female and male parts of the flower and their key functions.
    • We are FOCUSING on the photosynthesis and plant vascular system so that we learn how they work, and how to sketch their diagrams, to name and label the different parts involved.


    Success Criteria: (Students can...)

    • identify the different parts of a flower, especially the male and female parts
    • describe the main functions of the flower parts
    • explain the main functions performed by photosynthesis and the vascular system
    • use a diagram to clearly map out, label and/or illustrate the above plant biology


    Activities & Learning Tasks:

    1. Identify the different parts of a flower. 
    2. Research the function of each flower part.
    3. Go to BrainPop to watch the short educational video of Pollination (you may search up this topic on BrainPop). Do the quiz; save your score and hand it in here.  https://www.brainpop.com/. username: MHJC  password: 1student
    4. On BrainPop again, do the Worksheet for Pollination.
    5. Watch the video resources (link provided for you below) to learn more about flowers and different ways of pollination, aka sexual reproduction of plants.  Take notes in your book or on your doc.
    6. Friday Session:  Complete the above tasks and watch an assigned documentary; the last link below.
