Unit                     :  Movement and Locomotion                                 Period :II nd

Topic                   : Wonders of locomotion in the                              Time :45 min

                                Microscopic world                                            Average age :14 +

Curricular Statement

                       The pupil develops different dimensions of knowledge on the locomotion of microorganisms through videos, pictures, experiments etc. and evaluation by reporting,presentation, participation in group work etc.

Terms

Amoeba, Paramecium,Cilia, Pseudopodia, Euglena, Locomotion, Locomotory organ,Cytoplasm, Cytoplasmic filaments, Flagellum

Facts

1.      Amoeba is anunicellular microscopic organism.

2.      Pseudopodia are the locomotory organs in amoeba.

3.      There is an extension towards the direction of movement of paramecium.

4.      The extensions of cytoplasm are the pseudopodia.

5.      Cilia is the locomotory organ of paramecium.

6.      Cilia are hair like cytoplasmic filaments.

7.      Cilia is seen on the surface of the cell.

8.      Flagella is the locomotory organ of euglena.

9.      Flagella are the long cytoplasmic filaments.

10.   Euglena moves by whipping flagella in a fluid medium.

Concepts

Major Concept

Locomotion in the microscopic world.

Minor Concept

1.      Pseudopodia are the locomotory organs in the unicellular organisms like amoeba and it is the extensions of cytoplasm towards the direction of movement.

2.      Cilia is the hair like cytoplasmic filaments seen on the surface of the cell of paramecium and this rhythmic movement makes locomotion possible.

Process

Locomotion

Learning Outcomes

To enable the pupil,

-        recognizing terms such as amoeba, paramecium, euglena etc.,

-        classifying organisms on the basis of locomotion,

-        explaining different organisms based on locomotion,

For developing factual knowledge

-        recognizing organisms based on different types of locomotion,

-        classifying organisms based on locomotory organs,

-        explaining organisms based on locomotory organs,

-        producing the role play of different organisms,

For developing conceptual knowledge

-        differentiating the locomotion of various organisms with different locomotory organs,

-        executing group work on the locomotion of organisms,

For developing procedural knowledge

develops process skill such as observing the locomotion of different organisms, classifying the organisms, inferring the importance of locomotory organs, to develop positive attitude towards locomotion in man.

Pre- requisites

All living organisms can move

Teaching –Learning Resources

Soliloquy –amoeba, video- paramecium, microscopic view -euglena

Classroom interaction Procedure

Expected Pupil’s Response

Introduction          Teacher talks friendly with the students and asks some questions to check their previous knowledge.      Can you move from one place to another?      Is the humans can only move from place to place?      Then which are the other organisms that are able to move?    Let us learn about the locomotion in microorganisms. Presentation Activity I     Teacher presents a soliloquy of amoeba and told the students to read it. Discussion Hints 1.      Name one unicellular organism?      2. Which is the locomotory organ of amoeba? Activity II  Teacher present a video showing the locomotion of paramecium. Discussion Hints 1.      Which is the locomotory organ of paramecium? 2.      What is cilia? Activity III  Teacher told the students to observe the movement of euglena under a microscope. Discusssion Hints 1.What is the locomotory organ of euglena? 1.      How does euglena moves in a fluid medium?  Summarization                       Students understand the locomotion of organisms through videos and observations through microscope. Amoeba (CB)           Pseudopodia (CB) Cilia (CB)                 Paramecium (CB) Euglena (CB)              Flagella (CB)

Yes No Animals Amoeba Pseudopodia    Cilia Cilia is a hair like cytoplasmic filaments seen on the surface of the cell. Flagella By whipping the flagella

Formative Evaluation Procedure

Review

Arrange the flash cards on the basis of the locomotory organs of organisms.

Enrichment Activity

Collect the locomotory organs of other organism and note it down in your science diary.
