LESSON 5

 Lesson 5: Buzzing through the plant cycle: 

Objectives: Consolidate knowledge about plants life cycle through drawings and the creation of presentation.

ACTIVITY 1

Key competences:  Mathematical competence and competence in science, technology and engineering, digital competence ,social and learning to learn competence.

Materials: tablets, Canva and a app that enable them to draw (such as Drawing Pad)

A growing plant will be observed by the students during a week. Each day , they should draw in the tablet the life stage of the plant using Drawing Pad. Once the plant life has finished , they will be organized in groups of 5 to collect all the pictures of each member. After that, each group will create a presentation in which they should classify their pictures in the different plant life cycle ‘‘stages’’and include a brief description of what happened in each tier.

ACTIVITY 2

Key competences: Linguistic communication competence, digital competence, personal, social and learning to learn competence.

Materials:  Podcast and filling gaps worksheets

The teacher will give the students an explanation about the process of

photosynthesis the teacher can develop the explanation with this website Illuminating Photosynthesis | NOVA | PBS(15 minutes) .In order to consolidate the knowledge, the teacher will play a podcast (material 8, annex 1)  about photosynthesis. While listening to it, students will receive a paper on which they will have to complete sentences filling the gaps by writing down key words (material 3, annex 2). The podcast will be played twice. This way, we can guarantee not only that students are paying attention, but also that they are comprehending the process. (30 minutes).

After that, students will have to complete a crossword puzzle (material 4, annex 2) on their computers (15 minutes).
