Anticipatory Set/Introduction/Motivation/Interest Approach: Review Yesterday’s Lesson: Yesterday we discussed plant parts and functions, specifically we talked about seeds and trees. We went outside and planted trees and we looked at trees relative to photosynthesis and pruning. The teacher will do a verbal check for understanding from the previous lesson. 1. Explain the functions of a seed beginning of new life, starts new plant 2. Identify the major parts of a seed see the pages before, cotyledon, epicotyl, etc 3. Prepare soil for seed germination and discuss germination of seeds in growing medium 4. Describe the major function of root system to support the entire plant support and nutrient uptake for plants to be able to live, provide oxygen and water to plant 5. Describe the necessary functions of trees relative to photosynthesis and pruning leaves take in photosynthesis and the importance of trees is to know when and where to prune trees so as not to ruin the natural shape on accident Set: Students will look at diseases and issues from cuttings taken from the resource center. The issues will be from improper pruning techniques, but students will be asked to guess why these problems arise. The results of the problem are from improper pruning. Many problems and issues arise from leaving too much plant material above the node or bud of a plant. By pruning stems close to that bud we remove the problem of that stem rotting between the bud and the cut. Transition (Use Objective): 1. Justify the science and art behind pruning. 2. Apply knowledge of plant parts to determine proper pruning cut placement. 3. Explain the importance of maintaining a strong central leader to maintain tree vitality. 4. Sketch pruning cuts pertaining to various types of plants including evergreens, fruit trees, roses, and shrubbery 5. Prune Natural Resource Center plants using knowledge of proper pruning techniques Strategy Includes – Teacher Activity, Student Subject Matter Outline/Problem and Solution (Application Activity, Points Lace in Throughout Lesson) (Modeling, Guided Practice, Questions/Answers and and Content)
