2. Pictorial Self Learning Module (Science)
Life In The Plants
Class VI
Previous Knowledge:-
(1) Students have studied the science up to the class V.
(2) They have studied about both the plants and trees.
Objectives:-
(1) Students will know about the growth in the plants.
(2) Student will know about the regeneration in the plants.
(3)Students will know about the response to the stimuli in the plants.
(4) Students will know about the respiration in the plants.
Material Required:-
Plants used in the activities were grown in Botanical garden. And will
be used in the classroom by the teacher while teaching.
ii

3. 1. Students are taught with the help of the plants which were grown in the school
garden. With the help of the plant they are taught about the growth in the plant.
In the picture students observe day to day growth in the plant and understand what
growth in the plant is?
2. Students are asked questions from the picture shown to them.
Students answer the questions from the picture.
iii

4. 3. Teacher & students observe the plants for fifteen days and teacher discusses the situation
before and after 15 days Do plants grow/or not.
According to picture: - Plants grow.
4. Teacher & students observe the plant in the garden for one year, note down the changes h in
the plant and asks the questions.
i. Do the number of leaves multiply?
ii. Do flowers come on the plant/or not?
iii. Do flowers become fruits/or not?
iv. Do plants shed leaves /or do not ?
v. On the whole there is growth in the plant/or no growth.
Students after seeing picture know about the growth in the plant.
iv

5. 5. Teacher with students studies the plant with broken branches for few days. After few
days when another branch comes he tells the students that this process of coming out
the branches again is called regeneration in the plant.
According to the picture: - Students learn regeneration.
6. Students are taught about regeneration in the plants.
v

6. According to the picture: - Students learn about regeneration.
7. Teacher with students studies the plant in the garden. He teaches that new
branches have come again and bud has become flower so in the plant there is
regeneration with the growth.
vi

7. According to the picture: - Students understand the growth and regeneration.
8. Teacher kept a plant from the garden on the table of the classroom such that
sunlight from the window falls on it. After few days the plant bents towards the
window. This process of bending the plant towards the light is called response to
stimuli.
According to the picture: - Students understand response to stimuli.
vii

8. 9. Teacher brings the touch me not plant from the garden and shows it to students. In
the picture touch me not plant is green and blooming when it is touched, it shrinks.
This process is called response to stimuli.
According to the picture: -Students understand response to the stimuli.
10. Teacher showed the children Portulaca plant in the night that time all its flowers
were blooming. Similarly students saw the Sunflower plant and its leaves in the day
light carefully. Both Sunflower and its leaves remain bent towards the Sun during the
day. This is also response to stimuli.
According to the picture: - Students understand response to stimuli.
viii

9. 11. Teacher took two plants. (a) He kept one plant in the open. (b) Other covered with
vacuumed gas jar and observed the plants after some time saw that i. First plant was
green. ii. Other which was covered, was about to die. iii. Now he removed the gas jar
and again observed the plant after some time it became green.
According to the picture: - Students understand the process of respiration.
ix

10. 12. Teacher took one plant and showed to the students: - See the plant leaves from the
lower side there are small holes, through these holes plants take oxygen and leave the
carbon dioxide. It is a complex process and is called respiration.
According to the picture: - Students understand the process of taking oxygen and
leaving carbon dioxide i.e. respiration.
x

11. 13. Teacher blows the lime water. It turns milky. It means the air which comes out
through breathing has carbon dioxide. Now, according to the picture students put
soaked gram seeds in one beaker and boiled in the other. Cover both the beakers.
After some time put lime water in both the beakers and were asked to see i. In the
soaked gram seeds the lime water turns milky ii. In the boiled gram seed does not turn
milky. In soaked gram seeds, it turned milky because during germination, the process
of respiration took place; grams absorbed oxygen and released the carbon dioxide.
According to the picture: - Carbon dioxide from the breathing turns lime water milky.
The process of respiration is understood by the students.
14. Teacher is teaching respiration in the plant. Living plants absorb carbon dioxide
and leave the oxygen this process is called respiration/is not it?
xi

12. in the end teacher asks the questions that in plant
i. There is growth/is not it?
ii. There is regeneration /is not it?
iii. There is response to the stimuli/is not it?
iv. There is respiration /is not it?
Students understand respiration and give answer to the questions asked by teacher.
