1P0 ELICIT Now, I have here a true or false Sheets
min. question. As I flash the question. / ppt
You are going to raise your
answer if it is true or false for
you.
Understood, class?
Yes, ma’am.
1. Respiration is the
process of "burning"
stored chemical energy,
basically through
oxidation.
True.
2. During plant respiration, a
carbohydrate combines
with oxygen and is
increased to carbon
dioxide, water, and heat.
False – reduced.
That questions were all
about what?
Yes, Carmel?
It is all about respiration,
ma’am.
That was about our last topic.
5 min. ENGAGE Who among you here are Power
familiar with riddles? point
Okay, I have here some riddles presen
that might use you critical tation
thinking and analysis.
(Students will raise their
hands.)
R1. I am very hot; I give
everyone light in a day. I go
outside every morning and go
inside every afternoon.
What am I?
Yes, Shelwyn?
Very good!
It is a Sun, ma’am.
R2. I am a colorless one. You
need to drink me every day. I
am rich in minerals.
What Am I?
Yes, Jesus?
 It is Water.
Correct!
R3. I live outside and sometimes
inside. I have a color green
appearance. I can have leaves,
roots and stem.
What Am I?
Yes, Mikaela?
It is a Plant.
Very good!
It seems that you are good in
answering riddles.
Did you enjoy answering it?
Yes, ma’am.
Was it easy or difficult?
It’s very easy ma’am.
Since, you got it very easy! I
have here the last riddle.

R4. I use the energy from

sunlight to produce glucose from
carbon dioxide and water. I am
a process of manufacturing food
of plants. And I am your topic for
this afternoon. What Am I?
Yes, Pauline?
It is Photosynthesis.
Very good!
And that is our topic for this
afternoon.

Now, Before we discuss our

topic for this afternoon. We need
to know the objectives of the
lesson to be attained.
John kindly read the objectives.
I. OBJECTIVES
During and after an hour of
discussion, at least 75% of
the students are expected to;
A. Explain the flow of energy
on organelles involve in
photosynthesis;
B. Solve physics problem
involve in the process of
photosynthesis; and
Thank you. C. Cite the importance of
As the discussion commence photosynthesis in human life.
there are some unfamiliar terms
that we may encounter.
Joseph kindly read the passage.
Radiation- it is the process of
moving photon from the sun
to the earth that carries
energy.

Photon- it is a particle of light

which carries a pack of
energy.
 Electron excitation- is the
transfer of a bound electron
to a more energetic state,
cause by absorption of
energy.

Photosystem- a biochemical
mechanism in plants by
which chlorophyll absorbs
light energy for
photosynthesis.

Who among you here knows a

Pili nut tree? (students will raise their
hands)
Very good!
And we can see it outside, we
have a lot of Pili nut tree there.
I have here a Pili nut tree. Can
you describe?
Yes, Paul?
Pili nut tree is very nutritious
and it has a lot of benefits
that we can get from it like
the fruit that can be cooked
into different dishes.
Very good!
Our town is name after this tree.
We are also known for the
delicious and sweet Pili nut
candies.
Let us examine how Pili nut
grow to bear fruit.
In order for this Pili nut to grow,
it receive energy from the sun
through a light particle called
photon.
But,How long do you think does
a single photon of light travels
from the sun to the earth going
to the Pili nut tree?
Yes, Gerly?
I think ma’am, it takes about
seconds to travels.
Thank you!
How much energy does this pili
nut receive from a single photon
of light in approximation?
Yes, Jessa?
I think ma’am it is one energy
for the pili nut to receive from
a single photon of light.
Thank you!
These questions are important
in our discussion of
photosynthesis.
To know the answer. Let us
have an activity.
10 min. Kindly look under your chair a Activity
piece of paper with number. sheet/
EXPLORE That is your group number. ppt
Where are the group
1?2?3?4?5? (students will raise their
hands)
The group 1 will be staying on
my right side are, the group 2 is
the next. Group 3 here at the
center. Group number 4 after
the group number 3, and group
number 5 on my left side.
Understood, class?
Yes, Ma’am.
But before you go with your
respective groups. What you are
going to do is to solve two
physics problem that is involved
in this topic. And here are the
rubrics. This is how you are
graded in your activity. You only
have 5 minutes to do your work.
Here are the rubrics to grade
your output.
(see attached rubrics)

the speed which is:
S= d

Where: s(c)= speed of light
T= time

the energy of a photon which is:

E= hc

Where: E= energy
h= Planck’s constant
(4.14 x 10-15 ev.s)
c= speed of light (3 x
108 m/s)

light with the
wavelength of 650 x
10-4 m which is absorb
by the leaves of the
plant.

present their outputs)
For no 1 problem, the final
answer is 499.1s or 8.3m.
This is the time taken by a
photon of light travel from the
sun to the earth.

For problem no. 2, the

answer is 1.91x10-13ev. This
is the energy of red light
which is absorbed by the
leaves of the plant that can
be utilized in photosynthesis.
Thank you for presenting your
outputs.
Let us give temperancia clap to
every group.
(students will sing and clap)
Let us check your answer if
correct.

For no. 1 problem. You are

about to ask the time of travel by
a photon from the sun to the
earth. The correct answer is
499.1s. Correct! Or if we convert
it in minutes, it is 8.3 minutes.
See how long it takes to travel
the photon of light from the sun
to the earth down to this plant.

For no. 2. The correct answer is

1.910769231 x 10-13 ev or 1.91
x 10-13 ev. This is the electron
volts of the red light.

10 min. Now, I have here a model of

ELABORATE plant. There’s a sun of course.
We will know the physics of
photosynthesis. We all know
that the product of
photosynthesis is sugar which
we called glucose and the
byproduct of it is what?
Yes, Jeffrey?
The byproduct of
photosynthesis is Oxygen,
ma’am.
Very good.
From the sun it will travel about
499.1 or 8.3 minutes long going
here on earth passing through
this school and now in plant. It is
through radiation.
And after that, what will be the
next? Where the energy goes
now?
Yes, Sheryl? It will now go in the leaves
 primarily in the chloroplast.
Very good!
And inside the chloroplast, we
have the green pigments which
we called what?
Yes, Jesus?
We called it chlorophyll.
Exactly!
And the chlorophyll now will
absorb the photon which is a
pack of energy.
This absorb energy will cause
an ejection of an excited
electron carrying energy. This
electron ejection process is what
we called photo excitation. And
this occurrence is what we
called what?
It is photosystem II.
Very good!
This absorb photon also cause
the disruption of the bond
between water molecule and
carbon dioxide present in what
cell of plant?
It is present in chloroplast,
ma’am.
Very good!
In this process, oxygen might
bond together creating oxygen
as the byproduct, which we now
breathe at this very moment.
The carbon, hydrogen and the
remaining oxygen will be used in
the creation of the glucose. This
process of making glucose is
what we called what system?
We called it as the
photosystem I.
Very good!
It will be used by the plant in
their growth, production of
flowers and fruits.

With that, let us watch first a

short video about
photosynthesis. It will take about
3minutes.
(students will watch the

without photosynthesis? Why or
why not?
Yes, Kirsten?

No, ma’am because it gives

us oxygen to breathe.
Without it, we cannot live
Very good! here on earth.
How about plants? Do the plants
 live without photosynthesis?
Yes, Khen?

No, ma’am because

photosynthesis is very
important to plants for their
Very good! growth, it serve as their food.
Thank you!
Is there any questions?

Since you don’t have questions. None, ma’am.

Let us see if you really
understood the lesson.
