| + | # To observe and record characteristics of living beings (this topic is already introduced in lower classes) |
| + | # To develop skills of observation and classification |

| + | ===Notes for teachers=== |
| + | #All organisms reproduce |
| + | #There are patterns of responsiveness and behavior |
| + | #There are geographic areas in which organisms live |
| + | #Organisms try to maintain order through self regulation |
| + | |
| + | An organism is any contiguous living creature which is capable of breathing, response to stimulus, reproduction, excretion, growth and development and maintenance of homeostatis as a stable whole. An organism may be unicellular (single celled) or multi cellular( many cells). The surrounding where the organisms live is called habitat. |

| + | *'''Estimated time''' - 80 minutes |
| + | *Materials required: Pen and work sheet (Note book). |
| + | *Process" - Group work |
| + | Raksha and Tilak had visited many places with their parents |
| + | during vacation. During their stay in grandparents house in Ankola, |
| + | they could visit sea shore, and collected sea shells. They saw |
| + | variety of fishes, crabs, aquatic plants, mountains nearby with |
| + | plants of different structures and shapes. They also saw thick |
| + | forests on their way to their uncle's place -Dandeli. In another trip |
| + | to Rajasthan, they came across very less plants and the structure of |
| + | these plants were different compared to plants in their native place |
| + | . They traveled on camel on hot sand and collected various cactus |
| + | plants. They felt very hot in this area. But during their visit to |
| + | northern part of India, they felt very cold, and found trees with |
| + | very thin leaves and also the animals here were different . They |
| + | wondered and discussed about the various living beings they came |
| + | across during their travel. They were more surprised when they saw |
| + | small creatures like spider and silver fish between books in their |
| + | cupboard. Raksha started thinking why so many varieties of living |
| + | beings are there on this earth? and started collecting information |
| + | of these living beings. These are called organisms. She found that |
| + | there are tiny organisms also and all these living creatures are |
| + | grouped by different scientists on the basis of their habitat (place |
| + | they are found), their shapes structure and functions. She started to |
| + | ask more questions about the organisms and discussed with her brother |
| + | Tilak and also with elders about diversity of living organisms on |
| + | this earth. Her teacher told her that she cannot understand all the |
| + | types of organisms, their classification , structure and functions at |
| + | a stretch and as she proceeds to higher classes she can study in |
| + | detail about them. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | *Developmental questions - Ask the students to document living organisms |
| + | |
| + | With a narrative like this, the teacher can develop a lesson using |
| + | the inquiry-based approach. Some of the questions that could guide |
| + | this inquiry are: |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | # There are many living things around us. Are they all alike? Do you find them only on land? |
| + | # Which are the places they grow? What are these living creatures called ? |
| + | # How are they different from non-living things? |
| + | # How do these living things interact with non-living things and each other? |
| + | # What is the behavior of each of these? |
| + | # How do they grow in size? How do they become more or less in number? |
| + | |
| + | |
