Methodology:


Activities:

● Study of the characteristics of Spirogyra / Agaricus, Moss / Fern, Pinus (either with male or female cones) and an Angiospermic plant. Draw and provide two identifying features of the groups they belong to.

● Study of the external features of root, stem, leaf and flower of monocot and dicot

plants.

● Classify plants depending on their ability to bear seeds and if seeds are enclosed within fruits to gain the skills of classification of species.

● Observing the given pictures / charts / models of earthworm, cockroach, bony fish and bird.

For each organism, drawing of their picture and recording:

a) one specific feature of its phylum.

b) one adaptive feature with reference to its habitat.

Resources:

Textbook, reference book, PPT, Mind maps, charts, models.

Board work:


● understand the concept and importance of diversity

● explain the method of classification

● classify organisms into various groups on the basis of five kingdom classification

● correlate different plant groups

● identify different types of animals based on characters

● differentiate chordates from non-chordates

● classify chordates based on features

● learn the method of nomenclature of organisms

● understand naming of organisms

Application: Students will be able to-

● Understand and analyse that most monocots are small herbaceous plants, whereas

dicots come in all shapes and sizes. One of the reasons for this is that

large plants need a good support system, which is provided in dicots by the

woody stem and root.

● Also, monocots do not often grow into trees, because they do not have any woody tissue.
