A. Engage

Good morning class.

Are you ready to listen to our lesson this

morning?
Yes, Ma’am.

I will show you a pictures.All you need to do is

to observe what the picture is all about. After
that I will ask some questions about the
picture.

Do you understand, class?

Now observe the picture

what have you seen from the picture?
There is an aloevera and mosses, and different
plants, Ma’am.

What did you observed?

They are green and no flower.

Do you think this is a kind of plants?

Yes, Maam.

good.

Have you wonder how these plant grow and

reproduce or disseminate?
Yes, Maam.

Who among you here experience planting

such and gardening?
Me. ( student are sharing their experience)

In your opinion, how these plant can

reproduce or dissiminate?
 For me, the plant grow and reproduce through their
okay , Let see. roots or stem.

B. Explore

I have here a malabar spinach or alugbati. If I

am going to plant an alugbati which part of
this should I plant?

What should I do in the stem?

The stem, Ma’am.

After cutting the stem, what should I do next? Cutting it Ma’am.

Good.
Plant it in the soil, ma’am.
What do you think will happen when the stem
are already planted?

.
Wait for several days until it will sprout and reproduce
Alright!
again.
When I plant the stem of a malabar spinach it
will sprout and wait for several days to grow
and reach its maturity level.

C. Explain

Do you have any idea on what our topic will

be?

Our topic for today is all about ‘’Asexual

propagation in non-flowering plants.’’But,
Let’s read first our learning objectives.

objectives:
At the end of the lesson the students are able to do
the following with at least 75% level of accuracy.

a. identify and explain the process and methods

of asexual propagation in non-flowering plants.
b. Appreciate the importance of plants
propagation for agriculture and the
environment.
c. Demonstrate the skill of propagating non-
flowering plants asexually

Do you have any idea about asexual

propagation?

Alright!

Propagation means reproduction, producing

or breeding. Maybe,its about plants reproduction, Ma’am.

When we say asexual is a reproduction

produces plants that are genetically identical
to the parents plant because no mixing of
male and female takes place.

Therefore, when we say asexual propagation

it is where the seed is not needed.

Now, based on our activity earlier.How can

plants propagate again?

Plants can be propagate through roots, leaves and

Very good. stem and even when the stem will have a sprout and
grow mature ready to transfer to the soil.

Planting through roots, leaves and stem of a

plant is called Vegitative reproduction. It is
an asexual form of reproduction and yield to a
new plants that are identical to the parent
plants.

Give an example of a plant that will propagate

through a stem?

How it will propagate?

Ginger Ma’am.

It will grow from rhizome which is underground stem

Very good! that store food for a young plant and eventually grow
as a new plant.
How about plants that will propagate through
leaves?

Very good, Class. It mostly occur in the green plants like miracle plants.
Wherein It will produce through cutting leaf.
And there are a lot of methods of growing
plant by people who wants to raise plant for
food or ornament. These are by stem cutting,
layering, air layering and grafting.

Instruction: Given the picture below. Identify

the correct methods of plants Asexual
propagation.
 stem cutting-includes a piece of stem plus any

new roots to be a complete, independent plant

Very good.

Once it’ll be cutt out from the stem it will form

another new roots to complete and grow.

Layering- It is where the new plant remains at

When is it the new roots formed at this
method? least partially attached to the mother plant while
forming new roots and can occur naturally through
modified stem structures. And it is the easiest
methods.

Give an example of a this plant.

It is when the branch of a plant is pulled toward the

ground and the part of it is covered with moist
soil.After that the new roots develop from the part of

Like roses and jasmine.

Very good.

It will propagate a new trees from stem when the

roots to form.

Mostly Lemonsito, Ma’am.

Grafting- is the act of placing a portion of one

plant (bud or scion) into or on a stem, root, or
branch of another (stock) in such a way that a
union will be formed and the partners will continue
to grow.
Aside from this plant, Which plant perfect and
applicable for this method, class?

How can this propagate again?

Very good.

And also this technique is used to propagate It can be in fruiting trees like mango and guava

utilize superior roots or to maintain
production.

When two different plants joined together so they will

heal and grow as one.
Did you understand now the methods of
propagating asexual non-flowering plant?

Again, What are the 4 methods in

propagating non-flowering plants?

Alright!.
yes , Ma’am.
For you as a student, among all of these,
which method is the best to use when
planting non-flowering plants?
The four method are stem cutting,layering, air
layering,and grafting.

Now, How important is it to use these various

methods for agriculturists?
The stem cutting ma’am because it is so easy to cut
and whenever it is planted already it will grow and
produce roots that will propagate.

Very good!

Does planting non-flowering plants help the

environment? It is very important for agriculturist to used these
 various method because through this asexual
propagation the resulting plant will reach maturity
faster.
Very good!

Now, As you observed all the methods of

propagating asexual non-flowering can you
differentiate it from sexual flowering plants?
Yes, Ma’am. Because aside from it will reach maturity
faster some plants are used for decoration, ornaments
and even to make food.

Exactly!

In the sexual propagation Ma’am it is an organism that

parents and is genetically unique. Whereas, in
Now we will have a group activity. I will group asexual propagation one parent copies itself to form

you will be given 3 minutes to do your
respective task. .
Instruction: Choose at least one method of
propagating non-flowering plants and
demonstrate it in front of the class.

Before we start our activity, I will share first

the criteria for scoring.
