WEEKLY LESSON PLAN
Week (Date): 27 (28-02-2016 – 03-03-2016)
2015-2016
Teacher: Muhammad Usman Farooq
Subject: Biology
Grade: AS
Unit: 2 Development, Plants and the Environment
Topic 4 Biodiversity and Natural Resources
4.1 Plant structure
Lesson Objectives & Details (WALTs) in
Chronological Sequence
Day
Students will be able to:

Compare the ultrastructure of plant cells
(cell wall, chloroplasts, amyloplasts,
vacuole, tonoplast, plasmodesmata, pits
and middle lamella) with that of animal
cells.
1
Learning Activities
Setting the stage:
Students will be asked about the
types of cell and link will be made
to plant cell to continue the lesson.
Focusing event:
Students will be shown videos
related to ultrastructure of
organelles present in a plant cell.
Then they will complete the
worksheet labeling the organelles.
The students will be explained
each organelle in detail with the
help of flash player and PPT.
The students will roughly draw
each organelle diagram to practice
for the exam.
Closure: (Exit Question)
Students will be able to:
Solve the Practical paper questions including the one
based on scientific report of any latest topic but related
2
to exam. (June 2015)
Students will answer the exit
question and a link will be made to
the next lesson.
Setting the stage:
Students will be explained about
the basics of exam and every
student will be having his/ her own
past papers to make notes on it.
Focusing event:
The students will open June 2015
paper and every single part of it
will be discussed and solved.
Closure:
Complete solution of the paper.
(Continue overleaf if necessary)
Instructional Strategies
Piaget deductive way:
Students will take help from videos
shown and book to complete the
worksheet for the identification of
ultrastructure of the organelles.
E3R.R:
Students will complete worksheets and
evaluate their work by cross checking
with peers. The students with all
correct answers will be given a good
news report and he/she will be
appreciated.
Short Practice Sheet for drawing the
organelles and writing major points
about each.

INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY SCHOOL
Students will be able to:
Compare the structure and function of the
polysaccharides starch and cellulose including the
role of hydrogen bonds between β-glucose
molecules in the formation of cellulose
microfibrils.
3
Explain how the arrangement of cellulose
microfibrils in plant cell walls and secondary
thickening contribute to the physical properties of
plant fibres, which can be exploited by humans.
WEEKLY LESSON PLAN
Setting the stage:
Students will be recalled about the
organic molecules studied in unit 1
including Starch and Glycogen.
Focusing event:
This lesson will be divided in two
discussions.
1. Students will discuss the
basis of polymerization
for the formation Starch
and they will make a link
to the formation of
cellulose from β-
glucose including the
detail of bonds.
2.
2015-2016
Baby and the Cup:
The students will be explained each
and every point related to the plant
fibres.
Think-Pair Share
The students will be asked to read
about the polymerization of the beta
glucose from book page number 202
and discuss it between the groups to
complete the tasks.
Worksheet Solution
A comparison table will be made for
different polysaccharides.
The same polysaccharide
concept will be used to
explain how cellulose
microfibrils can make
fibres.
Closure:
Students will be able to:
4
Compare the structures, position in the stem and
function of sclerenchyma fibres (support) and
xylem vessels (support and transport of water and
mineral ions).
Identify sclerenchyma fibres and xylem vessels as
seen through a light microscope.
(Continue overleaf if necessary)
Students will answer the exit
question and a link will be made to
the next lesson.
Setting the stage:
Students will be asked to define
tissue and discuss the types of
tissues in plants.
Focusing event:
Students will be asked to make a
table to compare for the three
major types of the plant tissue
including parenchyma,
sclerenchyma and collenchyma.
Sclerenchyma will be selected to
explain the function in support and
then xylem for the support and
transport.
Piaget deductive way:
Students will read and discuss pages
207-209 to discuss the major types of
the tissues.
E3R.R:
Students will be given a sheet with
some hints to explain the adaptations
of the tissues to their functions. These
tissues will be discussed, evaluated
and the best student answer will be
rewarded with the GNR.
Baby and the Cup:
The students will be explained each
