KV –IIT CHENNAI

Science Teaching & IIT Madras . Science teaching has been supplemented to various

degrees by the expertise and resources of IIT Madras.

VISIT TO THE IIT M LABS:Students have been taken to field trips to the Biotechnology lab of IIT Madras.

Demonstrations on various techniques were demonstrated by the research scholars under the guidance of Prof. Suraishkumar.

Science Teaching & IIT Madras . Lectures by the faculty of IIT M in topics of

Biotechnology, Physical chemistry, Gravitation

and many more have been delivered to the

students of XI & XII on several occasions.

Series of Guest lectures during breaks have been planned with the support of the IITM

faculty who are PTA members too.

Science Teaching & IIT Madras . Judging of Projects & Exhibits:

Valuable inputs have been provided time and again by the Professors of IIT M by judging exhibits at the vidyalaya and regional level competitions and providing critical inputs for the development of projects for the Inspire award,National Chidren’s Science Congress,KVS Science exhibitions and so on.

Prof. Edamana Prasad was the judge for the latest vidyalaya level NCSC,from which two of our five projects got selected to the National level competition

Science Teaching & IIT Madras . Demonstrations of Science expeiments for both

high school and middle school children have been given by the faculty on occasions like Sciene Day,Childrens day wherein Science was portrayed as a fun activity and therefore motivated students to try a hand at it!

Science Teaching & IIT Madras . NSS students of IITM have been providing voluntary

coaching in Maths and Science to students of class X enrolled for NTSE

Science Teaching & IIT Madras . Research scholars of IIT M have shared their ideas

on Innovative projects that could be taken up by students of class XI & XII.

Science Teaching & IIT Madras . 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

Science Teaching & IIT Madras . 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 .

5 E Lesson Plan TR:- R.NANDHINI,K.V.IIT, CH-36 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.

Lesson Plan -5E sample 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

Lesson Plan -5E sample .LLEAF:- 1. Lamina 2. Stalk 3. veins→mid rib TYPES- Reticulate venation Parallel venation. 5.FLOWER: 1.Sepal( green colour) 2.Petal( coloured- joined / separate) 3. stamen ( filament/ anther) 4. pistil ( style, stigma.ovary) LEARNING RESOURCES:- PLANT SPECIMEN THERMOCOL CUTTER HAND LENS LEAF FLOWER.

Lesson Plan -5E sample 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.

ROOTS-

a).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

.http://questgarden.com/29/62/5/0

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.

1.which type of root does a plant have

which are easy to uproot?

2. What type of a root does a parallel

venation plant have?

EVALUATE:

Students are asked to complete the exercise

1 given in text book.

Students in a pair complete the exercise.
