Objectives
Essential Concepts
Plants are classified into moss, fern, cone-bearing and flowering
plants.
Moss Plants are the tiny, low-lying plants which thrive on damp and
shady areas. They have no true leaves and roots. Instead, they have
tiny, root-like structure called rhizoids which anchor them on soil,
rocks, decayed woods and fractures of floors. They are flowerless and
don't produce seeds. They reproduce through spores.The spores are
dust-like structure produced in spore capsules held in thin stalks that
grow from the moss plant.
Fern Plants are the leafy, non flowering plants which grow in moist/
wet areas under the shade of forest. They vary in sizes. Some grow as
high as 24 meters, others are just very small. They have true roots,
leaves and stems which allow the flow of water and nutrients to all its
parts. They reproduce by spores. These spores are held in tiny sacs
called sporangia. The sporangia clump together into what are called
sori and appear like small clumps of spots or patches on the underside
of the fertile frond (leaves).
Cone-bearing Plants are the plants which produce seeds arranged in a
cone. They are also called Gymnosperms because their seeds are not
Organizational Strategies

Set safety/precautionary measures in handling breakable and pointed/
sharp objects.
Specific Vocabulary
