Name of the Teacher: Mrs.Hiral Name of the Chapter: 4. Getting to know plants.

Std- VI Subject:
Science

Learning objectives: Student will able to:

Students will be able to:

1. Identify Parts of a Plant: Students will be able to identify and label the basic parts of a plant, including roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits.
2. Understand the Function of Each Plant Part: Students will understand the functions of each part of a plant, such as roots absorbing water and
nutrients, stems providing support and transporting water and nutrients, leaves conducting photosynthesis, flowers producing seeds, and fruits
protecting and dispersing seeds.
3. Classify Plants: Students will be able to classify plants into different groups based on common characteristics, such as flowering vs. non-flowering,
vascular vs. non-vascular, and seed-bearing vs. non-seed-bearing.
4. Understand Plant Life Cycle: Students will comprehend the basic life cycle of plants, including germination, growth, reproduction, and death.
5. Identify Plant Adaptations: Students will recognize different adaptations that plants have developed to survive and thrive in various environments,
such as thorns for protection, deep roots for anchorage and water absorption, and waxy coatings to prevent water loss.
6. Appreciate the Importance of Plants: Students will appreciate the significance of plants in the ecosystem, including their role in providing oxygen,
food, shelter, and habitats for various organisms.
7. Conduct Simple Experiments: Students will conduct simple experiments to explore concepts related to plant growth and development, such as
observing the effects of different environmental factors (light, water, soil) on plant growth.
8. Develop Observation and Recording Skills: Students will develop their observation and recording skills by maintaining a plant journal or log,
documenting the growth and changes of a plant over time.
Previous Knowledge:
1. Basic Plant Awareness: Assess whether students already have basic knowledge about plants, such as knowing that plants grow from seeds,
understanding the concept of photosynthesis, or recognizing common plants in their environment.
2. Parts of a Plant: Determine if students are familiar with the basic parts of a plant, such as roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits. If not, you may need
to introduce these concepts from scratch.

 Analytical questions:
1. How do plants adapt to their environment, and why is this important for their survival?
2. Compare and contrast the structures and functions of leaves, stems, and roots in plants.
3. Explain the process of photosynthesis and its significance for both plants and animals.
4. Analyze the role of flowers in plant reproduction, and how different types of pollination contribute to biodiversity.
5. Discuss the importance of transpiration in the water cycle and its impact on ecosystem dynamics.
6. Evaluate the benefits and challenges of different types of plant propagation methods, such as seeds, cuttings, and grafting.
Value based Question:
1. How can understanding and appreciating the diversity of plants help us develop a sense of respect for the natural world?
2. Discuss the importance of responsible stewardship towards plants and the environment, considering the impact of our actions on future
generations.
3. 3. Reflect on the role of plants in providing food, oxygen, and habitat for other living organisms. How does this highlight the interconnectedness of all
life forms?

Learning Outcomes:

1. Understanding Plant Anatomy and Functionality:

 Identify and describe the basic parts of a plant, including roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits.
 Explain the functions of each plant part in terms of plant growth, reproduction, and survival.
2. Exploring Plant Diversity and Adaptations:
 Recognize and classify different types of plants based on their characteristics, such as herbaceous vs. woody, flowering vs. non-flowering, and
annual vs. perennial.
 Investigate and describe how plants have adapted to their environments, including specialized structures for obtaining water, nutrients, and
sunlight.
3. Understanding Plant Processes:
 Explain the process of photosynthesis and its significance in converting light energy into chemical energy for plant growth and development.
 Describe the role of transpiration in the movement of water and nutrients within plants and its impact on the water cycle.
4. Appreciating the Importance of Plants:
 Recognize the ecological importance of plants in maintaining biodiversity, stabilizing ecosystems, and providing habitats for other organisms.
 Discuss the economic and cultural significance of plants in human societies, including their roles in agriculture, medicine, industry, and culture.
