Class: 7th Subject : Life Sciences
Duration : 45 minutes Topic : Photosynthesis
General Objectives
After the completion of the topic ,students will be able to:
● acquire knowledge about the essential requirements for photosynthesis.
● understand the process of photosynthesis.
● develop understanding about the products of photosynthesis
● acquire understanding about the autotrophic plants.
● develop the skills of observation and experimentation.
Specific Objectives
▪ define the term photosynthesis
▪ describe the process of photosynthesis.
▪ experiment to show process of photosynthesis.
▪ explain the essential requirements for the process of photosynthesis.
▪ give the products of photosynthesis.
Instructional Aids
1) Blackboard. duster, Coloured chalks
2)Green leafy plants, construction papers, clips, bowl of water
Previous knowledge assumed
Pupil teacher will assume that students have the basic knowledge about the basic requirements for the
survival of living organisms including plants.
Previous knowledge testing
Pupil teacher will ask the following questions to students to test the previous knowledge of students.
Question 1 - What are the essential requirements for the survival of living organisms?
Expected answer - Food and Oxygen
Question 2- From where do we get food ?
Expected answer- From plants
Question 3- What are the basic requirements for the growth of the plants ?
Expected Answer - Water, minerals, sunlight..etc
Question 4- How do plants make the food?
Expected Answer - No answer
Announcement of the topic
The pupil teacher will announce the topic that plants make their food through the process called as
Photosynthesis.
Let us study Photosynthesis and the requirements as well as the products of photosynthesis.
