Multimedia Lesson Plan: Nutrition in Plants Integrated Science | Class 7 | Duration: 40 Minutes
Learning Objectives • Understand the concept of nutrition in plants • Identify types of nutrition • Explain the process of photosynthesis • Differentiate autotrophic and heterotrophic nutrition
Experiment Demonstration Test for starch in leaves: • Boil the leaf in water, then in alcohol. • Add iodine solution – blue-black color indicates starch.
Heterotrophic Nutrition Plants that depend on others for food. Types: Parasitic, Saprophytic, Symbiotic.
Parasitic Plants Examples: Cuscuta (dodder), mistletoe. They derive nutrients from host plants.
Saprophytic Plants Examples: Fungi, mushrooms. They feed on dead and decaying matter.
Interactive Quiz 1. What are the raw materials of photosynthesis? 2. Name one parasitic plant. 3. What color does a leaf turn when iodine is added to starch?
ICT / Multimedia Integration Use of animations, videos, and digital simulations to explain photosynthesis. Interactive quizzes via smartboard or Kahoot.
Class Activity Students draw and label parts of a leaf. Observe local plants and identify nutrition modes.
Assessment Methods • Oral questions • Quiz and worksheet • Observation of participation
Integration with Other Subjects • ICT: Using digital simulations • Art: Drawing plant structures • Math: Measuring growth rate
Real-Life Applications • Understanding food production in plants • Importance of green plants in oxygen balance
Recap • Nutrition is vital for plant growth. • Photosynthesis: key process for food preparation. • Some plants depend on others for food.
Learning Outcomes Students will be able to: • Describe photosynthesis clearly. • Identify various nutrition types in plants. • Relate concepts to real-life examples.
Homework / Assignment Write short notes on: 1. Autotrophic nutrition 2. Heterotrophic plants 3. Importance of chlorophyll
Teacher’s Reflection Lesson effectiveness: • Students showed interest through interactive videos. • Most could answer quiz questions accurately.
Conclusion Plants are essential for life on Earth as they prepare food and release oxygen. Understanding plant nutrition helps us appreciate nature’s balance.
