b)explaining about the different features of organisms.

 2.conceptal knowledge about the different organisms through

a)recognizing the difference in the habitat of various organisms

b)comparing the different features distinguishing living organism through,

a)differentiating the organisms on the basis of shape, colour and habitat.

a)recognizing different classes of plants and animals.

5.scientific attitude towards the process of classifying organisms around us.

6.different process skills like,

a)observing different creatures around us.

b)classifying the features of different living things.

c)communicating through presenting the group work.

                                                        PRE-REQUISITES

CLASS ROOM INTERACTION PROCEDURE INTRODUCTION The teacher shows the picture of a beautiful scenory and ask the students to observe it.the teacher ask the students what are the things that they can see in the picture? Do you all love the nature? Do all living things have the same characteristic features? How can we classify these organisms? PRESENTATION Activity 1- The teacher calls three students to come forward.The teacher gives them three flash card depicting the conversation between three organisms.the teacher ask the students to read it loudly.          Consolidation. There is a wide variety of plants and animals around us.Each and every organism have equal importance on earth. Activity 2- The teacher ask the students to note down the names of some living things around us.Then the teacher ask them to list down 3 organisms on the basis of shape colour and locomotion in the science diary.then the teacher ask one of the students from each bench to read out the points they have noted.                     Consolidation All the living beings around us have different shape, colour, habitat and mode of locomotion. Activity 3- The teacher separate the students in to different groups and shows the picture of snake and an earthworm.Then the teacher ask to write down the difference between them in the science diary. one student from each group is asked to present it in the class. Consolidation Earthworm does not have eyes, snake has eyes; earthworm does not have teeth; earthworm consume soil but snake consume other organisms. CONCLUSION The teacher ask the student to consolidate the topic on classification and different features that distinguish organisms. REVIEW QUESTIONS 1.what are the features that distinguish living organisms? 2.Difine habitat? 3.Which organisms is know as farmers friend? 4.What does earthworm consume? 5.What are the features that distinguish earthworm from snake? FOLLOW UP ACTIVITY Note down some more examples of different living things in your surrounding and classify them according to their size, colour and habitat.

EXPECTED PUPIL RESPONSE Monkey, Elephant,Fish,Kingfisher,Tiger. Grass hopper,cow,ox,parrot,Tiger,leopard,cat,crow,cuckoo. Snake has teeth earthworm does not have teeth.snake eat small organisms earthworm eat soil.
