1. To identify and describe the basic parts of a plant, including roots, 1. To understand how plant processes, such as
stems, leaves, and reproductive structures. (Bloom's Taxonomy: photosynthesis, influence environmental conditions and
Remembering) contribute to ecosystem health, including impacts on air
quality and soil fertility.
2. To explain the process of photosynthesis and understand the role
played by each part of the plant. (Bloom's Taxonomy: 2. To appreciate the wide variety of plant species and their

biodiversity.

based on their characteristics. (Bloom's Taxonomy: Analyzing and 3. To recognize the everyday significance of plants,

materials, and other daily necessities.
Assessment Criteria: Students will accurately label the main parts of a plant on a diagram, clearly explain the process of
photosynthesis, and analyze pictures of different types of plants, evaluating their characteristics and classifying them into appropriate
categories.
