NO.OF PERIODS:10 (8+2)
EDUCATIONAL STANDARDSTO BE ACHIEVED

I. Underst anding the cont ent(explaining, classifying, differences, analysing, giving examples, telling the
reasons and forming psychological pictures.)

_ Explain the Difference between autotrophy and heterotrophy

_ Explain the reasons for photosynthesis happening in plantsand for not happening in animals.
_ Explain differencesbetween light dependent and light un dependent reactions.
_ Tell the contrasts and comparisons between photosynthesis and respiration.
_ Recognise the commonalities of food collecting methods in human and different animals.
_ Explain the nutrition in parasites and plantswith examples.
_ Explain actualise happensin different parts of human elementary canal.
_ Explain the ingesting systemof different food materials.
_ Tell the difficulties and reasons related to indigestion.
_ Explain the diseases due to mal nutrition with examples.
_ Explain the reasons and difference between kwashiorkor and marasmas diseases.
_ Explain vitamin deficiency diseases and the resources of vitamins with examples.

II. Quest ioning - Making hypot heses :

_ Questions the method of collecting the required materials for photosynthesis.

_ Questions the food preparatory methods in plant partswhich are not green.
_ Hypothesise the experimental results of green plant light absorption.
_ Questions the need of reutilising the food materials prepared in plants.
_ Try to know the reasons for some materials not digested in the stomach.
_ Guess the consequences of mal nutritious food.

III. Experiment s- Field t rips :

_ Conduct the experiment that determines the presence of carbohydrates.

_ Observe Priestley’s experiment and comment on the results.
_ Conduct the experiment that determines the necessity of sun light for photosynthesis. Test
todetermine oxygen.
_ Conduct the experiment that oxygen isproduced during photosynthesis.
_ Know the acidic and basic reactions in the alimentary canal through litmus test.

IV. Collect ing the informat ion :

_ Visit the health centre and collect the information on the diseases due to mal nutrition.
_ Visit the families in the habitat and collect the information of the people suffering fromthe
diseases due tovitamin deficiency and digestion related ailments and reasons for them.
_ Collect the information on low cost nutritious food materials, the children of different ages
through internet.
V. Drawing the diagrams - Making Models :

the diagrams of the structure of the chloroplast and internal structure of leaf. Explain
the importance.
_ Draw and label the diagramof human digestive system. Explain its functioning.
_ Draw the diagramof food collecting method of Amoeba. Tell the relation of excretion and
collection.
_ Make the flow chart of food movement in alimentary canal. Explain about peristaltic.
_ Make the model of human digestive system. Explain the role of enzymes in digestion.

VI. Appreciating, having aest hetic sense

_ Appreciate the process of making food by the green plantsfor the survival of the whole
living organisms.
_ Appreciate the efforts of the seen tests in photosynthesis.
_ Observe in their locality the dependence of some plants on other plants.
_ Appreciate the food collecting methods of the organisms.
_ Appreciate the structure of the alimentary canal and the role of enzymes.

VII. Sympat hy t owards biodiversit y :

_ Campaign on the importance of nutritious food. Put efforts that everyone should take
nutritious food.
_ Follow good, habitsin order tohealthy and makes others tofollow it.
_ Recognizes that different types of plantsand animals depend one on another for their
survival and identifiestheir maintenance in balancing the diversity. Prepares cartoons and
essays reflecting that..
