Free 12th Grade Angiosperms Morphology And Evolution Lesson Plan (Science)

Topic: Angiosperms morphology and evolution and the use of angiosperms for humans and how humans bring harm to plants

Objectives & Outcomes

• Students will be able to describe the basic structure and functions of angiosperms.
• Students will be able to explain the evolution and diversification of angiosperms.
• Students will be able to describe the importance of angiosperms to humans and their impact on the environment.

Materials

• Angiosperms anatomical diagrams
• Angiosperms evolutionary tree diagrams
• Angiosperms use in humans PowerPoint
• Handouts with questions on angiosperms structure, function, evolution, and importance
• Whiteboards and markers

Warm-up

• Begin the class by showing a slideshow of images of angiosperms. Ask students to observe the images and draw what they see on the whiteboard. After a few images, introduce the term "angiosperms" and ask what they think it means. Allow students to share their thoughts and add any additional meanings to the term.

Direct Instruction

• Present the basic characteristics of angiosperms, including their flower and fruit structures. Use handouts and visual aids to help explain the structures and their functions.
• Discuss the evolution of angiosperms, including the major groups and how they are related to each other. Use the phylogenetic tree to show how the different groups of angiosperms are related to each other.
• Discuss the importance of angiosperms to humans, including their use in agriculture and as ornamental plants.

Guided Practice

• Have students work in pairs to identify different types of angiosperms based on their flower and fruit structures.
• Have students use the phylogenetic tree to show how the different angiosperm groups are related to each other.
• Have students explain the importance of angiosperms to humans.

Independent Practice

• Have students work in small groups to research a specific type of angiosperm and create a presentation on its characteristics, habitat, and uses for humans.
• Have students present their findings to the class.

Closure

• Review the main points of the lesson, including the characteristics and habitat of angiosperms, the importance of angiosperms to humans, and the ways in which humans can threaten angiosperms.
• Ask students to share something they learned during the lesson.

Assessment

• Collect and grade the presentations from the independent practice.
• Use a quiz or test to assess students' understanding of the characteristics and classifications of angiosperms and the importance of angiosperms to humans.
• Use this assessment to inform the wrap-up discussion during the closure.
