chloroplast in photosynthesis by
using flashcard.
5) Teacher asks the students if they
do understand what have already
being explained and teacher also
answers to the students questions
if any.
6) Teacher continue the lesson to
the next learning outcome and
explains thoroughly about the light
reaction in photosynthesis by
using a diagram.
7) Teacher asks the students if they
do understand what have been
explained and make a clear
explanation if the students do not
fully clarify.
8) Teacher proceed to the next
learning outcomes which is the
dark reaction of photosynthesis
that also by using diagram and
also gives some lecture.
