7 STAGES ACTIVITIES LIVING AND NON-LIVING THINGS Notes Lesson 1 Activity 1 1 hour Divide the class in groups of 4 children. Give them Topic8/Lesson1/Activity 1/Worksheet 1, they must cut out all the pictures and classify them following the criteria they decide in the group, after a few minutes, the teacher asks them which criteria they have used and writes them on the blackboard. Tell them that all the criteria are good but Homework: Topic7/Lesson1/ Activity1/worksh eet 4 now we are going to learn something that helps us to classify them following a different criteria (if a group has used this criteria teacher tells them that we are going to learn why they classify the objects in that way)give them Topic8/Lesson1/Activity1/Worksheet2 and Topic 8/Lesson1/Activity1/Worksheet3 PLANTS OR ANIMALS? Activity 1 1 hour Lesson 2 Teacher sticks on the blackboard two pictures, one of a plant and one of an animal. He/she points to the picture of the plant and asks the children: Can it run? Can it make noises? Can it see? Does it have legs? Does it need water? Does it move? Does it have green parts? (Explain to the children that plants move towards the light produce seeds and feed on nutrients from the soil. They also produce food by photosynthesis.) Then the teacher points to the animal s picture and asks the same questions Divide children in groups of 4 and give them Topic8/Lesson2/Activity1/Worksheet1 THE LIFE CYCLE OF A PLANT Start the lesson watching the video about the life cycle of a plant After watching the video give students Topic8/Lesson3/Activity1/Worksheet1 Resources book : Recycling-Water-Plants-Animals-Food Pagina 87

8 Lesson 3 PARTS OF A PLANT Video life cycle of a plant: ube.com/watch?v=zcybwis2tw M Activity 1 1 hour Lesson 4 Activity 1 Watch the video about parts of the plant. Video parts of a plant: ube.com/watch?v=cx2m2n2ud AE For homework Topic(/Lesson4/ Activity1/worksh eet2 Take spinach, a carrot and sun flowers seeds. 1 hour After watching the video give students Topic8/Lesson4/Activity1/Worksheet1. Using the digital whiteboard or a ceiling projector, we can play together using the two activities you can find following this link: Pictures to help Start the lesson reviewing the homework. Ask students if they eat plants. It s possible that they say yes but if not, you show them some spinach and ask them if they know this plant. Tell them we call this kind of plants vegetables and when we eat vegetables, we eat different parts of a plant, we eat the leaves (as in the spinach), show them a carrot and ask them which part of a plant it is (a root) and finally show them a sunflower seed and ask them the same question (a seed) You can use pictures to explain. Activity 2 Give students Topic8/Lesson4/Activity2/Worksheet3, then we Resources book : Recycling-Water-Plants-Animals-Food Pagina 88

9 1 hour correct this activity using questions with the verb to be: - Is the onion a stem? Yes, it is/ No it isn t - Is the lettuce a root? Yes, it is/no it isn t If we have time, they can ask about more fruits and vegetables GROWING PLANTS First we watch the video of the song: the needs of a plant. After that we write on the blackboard the 5 things that plants need to grow: Water, soil, space, light and air. We ask students if they think that it s possible to grow a plant without any of these elements. To observe this: we are going to do some experiments. We divide the class into 5 groups and give each group one of the research instructions. Tell them that they are going to do a fair test. A fair test is when you use the same things and you change only one thing each time. After two weeks (it doesn t matter if we have finished the unit, we will put together all the results and we will sing the needs of a plant song. Song and video: ube.com/watch?v=oqt6pizox7 c Researching worksheets Lesson 5 HOW PLANTS WORK Ask students if they know how plants make food, keep a dialogue with them about their hypothesis. Activity 1 Watch the video about photosynthesis. 1 hour for explaining and 2 weeks for the results Write on the blackboard the word photosynthesis and ask them what it means. Photo = Light; synthesis = Mixing (so mixing together with light) You can choose video 1 ube.com/watch?v=1gla5ewn9o Ior video 2 Resources book : Recycling-Water-Plants-Animals-Food Pagina 89

26 Topic8/Lesson6/Activity1/Worksheet1 Write inside each rectangle the correct word related to the photosynthesis process: OXYGEN, WATER, SUNLIGHT, CARBON DIOXIDE Do you remember the name of the tubes that take water through the stem to the leaves? Circle it XYLOPHONE, XYLEM, XYLUS Do you want to see them? We are going to do an experiment: - Take a glass - Put some water in the glass - Add some food coloring - Stir well using a tea spoon - Place a stem of celery in the glass - Leave the celery in the water all day - Cut the celery across the stem and you will see the tubes that carry the water Resources book : Recycling-Water-Plants-Animals-Food Pagina 106

27 Topic8/Lesson6/Activity2/Worksheet1 This takes place in chloroplasts, which have chlorophyll in them. Chlorophyll absorbs the sunlight. From sunlight, green plants combine carbon dioxide and water to make sugar and oxygen. Green plants use sugar to make starch, fats, and proteins There are tiny pores called stomata. Carbon dioxide and oxygen enter and leave through the stomata respectively. Do you know why green plants are green? Do you want to see what this pigment looks like? We are going to do an experiment. - Some spinach or chard - Scissors - A mortar - 30 ml of alcohol 96º - 2 glasses - A funnel - - A tea spoon of sand - A test tube - A syringe - 2 ml of petrol - A pencil - Filter paper (you can use one from a coffee machine) - Adhesive tape - Filter paper Whatman 3MM for the chromatic test Resources book : Recycling-Water-Plants-Animals-Food Pagina 107

28 PROCESS: - Cut the spinach or the chard using the scissors - Put the cut spinach into the mortar - Add the sand - Add 5ml of alcohol using the syringe - Crush the spinach and when you have a dark green paste add the rest of the alcohol - Mix it - Put the filter paper on the funnel - Put the funnel in the glass - Pour the paste through the filter paper and through away the remains - Now you can see a dark green solution that contains different kinds of pigments. Now if you want to separate the chlorophyll from the other pigments follow these instructions - Put in a test tube 10 ml of alcohol and add 2ml of petrol. - Shake the mixing - Wait some minutes and you could see on the top of the test tube the chlorophyll and in the bottom the other pigments. Now if you want to see the colour of all the pigments try this experiment: - Put 20ml of alcohol in a glass - Cut a rectangular piece of Filter paper Whatman 3MM as long as the glass - Take a piece of adhesive tape and stick the filter paper from one of the thinner parts to the centre of the pencil. - Put the pencil on the glass and the filter paper in the glass - The alcohol goes up and separates the pigments. - Wait about 30 minutes and take the filter paper out - Wait until the filter paper is dried and you could see four different colours for the four different pigments. - HOPE YOU HAVE ENJOYED IT!

29 Topic8/Lesson7/Activity1/Worksheet1 HOW DO PLANTS REPRODUCE? Not all the plants reproduce themselves in the same way. We have to distinguish between plants with flowers like the poppy and plants without flowers like a fern or moss. So plants can reproduce in two different ways: 1.- ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION: When plants use a part of themselves to create a new plant. 2.- SEXUAL REPRODUCTION: It happens from another flower ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION: It can happen in three different ways: - Tubercules - Bulbs - Stolons Do you think that potatoes can have babies? And what about onions? Try these experiments Materials: - Some small potatoes (better if they are old) - A tray - Some sheets of kitchen paper - Water in a spray bottle - A plant pot - Soil and gravel 1. - Put some soaked kitchen paper on the tray 2. - Put the potatoes on the paper 3. - Put the tray in a warm place (next to a window) 4. Daily use the spray bottle 5. A few days later should see some shoots 6. - Wait until these new shoots are 1 cm long 7. - Prepare a plant pot by putting some gravel at the bottom and adding some soil to it. Don t totallyfill up the plant pot 8. - Put the potatoes in the plant pot with the new shoots down and cover them with the soil 9. - Put the plant pot in a sunny place Water the plant every day until the flowers appear You can add a stick to support the plant About 20 days after the flowers appear you should see growing on the roots new potatoes. Resources book : Recycling-Water-Plants-Animals-Food Pagina 109

30 ONIONS: Onions are bulbs. If you leave an onion in a dark and wet place you should see that after some days the onion has new stems. If you plant this onion you could get a new plant Stolons are stems that grow parallels to the ground and from time to time they create roots and grow a new plant. You can see this with the strawberries. Topic8/Lesson7/Activity1/Worksheet1 HOW DO PLANTS REPRODUCE? Not all the plants reproduce themselves in the same way.

Animals such as bees,..., moths, flies, and hummingbirds pollinate plants. When they move to another flower to feed, some of the pollen falls off onto the new plant s stigma. Another way plants are pollinated is by the... The wind picks up pollen from one plant and blows it onto another. Plants that are pollinated by the wind often have long stamens and pistils. Since they do not need to attract animal pollinators, they can have...colours, be unscented, and have smaller or no petals, since no insect needs to land on them. So we have two different kinds of pollination: Cross-pollination and self pollination. Look at the pictures below and write down the kind of pollination that each represents.
