REPRODUCTION

Natural Vegetative Propagation

The topic can be integrated to Technology and Livelihood.

Content Standard:
The Learners demonstrate an understanding of reproduction being both asexual or sexual.

Performance Standard:

Learning Competency:

The learners should be able to differentiate asexual from sexual reproduction in terms of:
1. Number of individuals involved.
2. Similarities of offspring to parents.
Code (S7LT-IIg-7)

I. Objectives

By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:

1. Define the term natural vegetative propagation.
2. Describe the several forms of natural vegetative propagation.

II. Content

A. Topic: Natural Vegetative Propagation

B. Reference: Learner’s Material

C. Materials: Copy of activity sheet, different kinds of plants, multimedia

D. Science Concepts:
Natural Vegetative Propagation – common among herbaceous and woody plants. It
involves structural modifications of any plant parts (leaf, stem or root) that can contribute to the
survival and expansion in the population of the plant species.

Bulbs form lateral buds from the base of the mother bulb, which produce new smaller
bulbs or bulbels in subsequent years.

Rhizomes are root-like stems that grow horizontally under the ground. New roots and
shoots form at the nodes with shoots growing upwards to form new plantlets.

Stolons or runners are horizontal stems that grow above the ground. The nodes develop
roots and buds that grow into a new plant.

Tubers are swollen portions of an underground stem with pits or “eye” where buds grow and develop.
Notches are structure found at the margins of some leaves where new tiny buds
emerge. The buds develop into new plants that detach from the notch and live independently.
 Corms are short, vertical underground stems with nodes and internodes where bud
grow and develop into new plants.

Suckers- new stem grow from the root base of the existing plant. This new stem
develops into a new plant.

III. Strategies
A. Pre-Activity

1. Review

In your family, do you resemble or look like your mother or father when he or
she was your age?

2. Motivation

- Have you ever started a new plant from seeds? Describe what happen.
- Do all plants start from seeds?
- Where do seeds come from?
- Do you know of any other ways to start new plant?

3. Presentation

(Teacher shows videos to students about natural vegetative propagation.)

- What is the name of the plants in the video?
o (bryrophyllum and sugar cane)
- What happened to the plants as you have observed?
o (new plant is produced from the plants)

B. Activity Proper

(Prepare various activity by group)

(Each group is given several types of plant such as ginger, potato, onion, yam,
grass, kangkong etc. Each group will observed the plant given. Present their
observation through various presentation such as)
- Group 1 - Song composition
- Group 2 – Drawing
- Group 3 – Poem composition
- Group 4 – Group discussion

C. Post Activity

- Each group will present their work in front of the class.

D. Generalization

1. What is natural vegetative propagation?

2. What are the different forms of vegetative propagation? Describe each.
 E. Application

Let the student plant some ginger, potato, onions in their garden and let them observe
everyday if there is any changes.

IV. Assessment

1. What is natural vegetative propagation?

2. What are the different forms of vegetative propagation? Describe each.

V. Assignment

Make a power point presentation about Artificial Plant Propagation
