 Interschool Competitions organized by the
Metallurgical department, chemistry department for
schoolchildren have seen the participation of our
students in Quiz, debates,paper presentations and so
on.
 Several workshops eg. Robotics organized by IITM
saw the participation of our students too wherein they
got an exposure to the latest and current trends in
science

 Summer Residential Camp :
 Our students have been given opportunities to enroll
in Summer camps where they had a chance to work
with Professors and be guided in small Research
projects.
 This hands on experience got by the students has
been of immense value to motivate them towards
scientific research.
Science Teaching & IIT Madras .
 Invitation to be part of several techno-fests organized
by various departments wherein the student teams
could represent their school and present papers,
designs etc –a unique platform for a school student .

GETTING TO KNOW PLANTS
SUB TOPIC:- PARTS OF PLANT
LEARNING OBJETIVES:
Students will be able to question
1.the two systems of a plant
2.The various parts of a plant.
3. The leaves showing parallel and reticulate venation.
4.The detail parts of a leaf, flower.

MAJOR CONCEPTS:
Root system and shoot system
Root-i)types →a) tap root→main and lateral roots
b)Fibrous root
ii) parts→roothair,root cap, root nodules.
Stem→tubular structure→1. Green and tender-herbs
( may or maynot have branches)
2. Hard not thick – shrubs( many branches near the base)
3. thick and brown stem – tree (have branches in the upper
part)
 4.weak stem -creeper
5. weak stem needs support to grow-climber

TEACHER INITIATIVE
STUDENTS ACTIVITIES
ASSESSMENT
ENGAGE:- Recap ( 1 to 3 lesson). Teacher
starts the class by showing the plant
specimen and the students that which
parts are seen above and below the
ground.
Students recall the name of the parts
which is present below and above the
ground
Which part of the plant holds it upright?
Name the system which is above/below
the ground?
EXPLORE:- Then the teacher introduce the
topic shoot system and root system. In
today’s class let us explore what are the
different parts present in the root and
shoot system in detail
Students will explore using hand lens.
ROOTSa).tap root- main root and lateral roots.
b) fibrous root
STEM- tubular structure.
LEAF- green colour,veins
FLOWER-sepal
Coloured –petal
Which part of the plant is tubular in
nature?
What is the difference between the two
plants in case of the root system explain
using the plant specimen?
Lesson Plan -5E sample
EXPLAIN:- JIGSAW
The teacher calls one student from each
group and will ask that student to
explain the structure and function of a
particular part of a plant.
Each student in a the will become an
expert. Root experts will form a group
and read the information card or web
quest

60713115757/process.htmgiven by
the teacher and return back to the
parent group and explain the details to
other group members.
The teacher will tabulate the points
explained by each group.
Group 1- will explain about the root
Group 2:- about stem
Group 3:- leaf
Group 4:- fruit
Identify, paste and label the parts of a
flower specimen neatly in a black chart.
Make a collage of the parts of a flower
using the colour paper.
Draw the types of root system.
Lesson Plan -5E sample
ELABORATE: The teacher will ask to look
the two plants specimen to find out the
relation between roots and venation.
The students perform the activities in
group and give response to the
questions and finding the inner parts of
a flower using a cutter and a hand lens.
EVALUATE:
Students are asked to complete the exercise
1 given in text book.
Students in a pair complete the exercise.
HOT POTATOES EXERCISE:MATCH
MCQ
