SAMPLE LESSON PLAN
General Objectives:
1. To know about the importance of environment.
2. To execute various steps for keeping environment clean.
3. To identify the importance of living organisms in the
environment.
4.
Specific Objectives:
1. To define the term ‘Environment’.
2. To enumerate the living and nonliving components of
environment.
3. To explain the relationship between the living beings of
the environment.
4. To exemplify the importance of various components of
environment for one another.
AV Aids: Blackboard, Chalk, Textbook, Chart, Pictures of living and non-living things.
Previous Knowledge:
1. What is the difference between living and non-living
things?
2. How many types of living things are there?
3. Give examples of non-living things?
4. What do we obtain from the sun?
5. What is the nature of light and energy?
6. Can life exist without water?
7. What do living things need to live?
Introduction:
Give two minutes to students to notice and tell various living and non-living things in the
classroom and the school. Write down the names told by students on the blackboard.
22
Are all these things present in our home? Yes, nearly at all places, the various living and
non-living things together make up the environment.
Presentation:
Now show a chart to students with the following main elements and pictures of living and
non-living things.
Now tell about the importance of plants in the environment. Plants prepare food on which
other living things depend. Plants are called producers. Now draw the diagram of food
chain and explain to students about the inter-dependence of various living things on each
other. In the environment, energy travels from green plants to herbivores (animals eating
plants) then to carnivores (animals eating animals) and finally to omnivores (animals
who eat both plants and animals).
Now, explain the importance of green plants (producers) that they produce oxygen and
regulate the temperature of the environment. Also tell about the importance of water in
the environment for all the plants and animals and without it, life is impossible. Also
mention the importance of soil for the living things in the environment.
Partial Recapitulation:
➢ What benefits we get from plants?
➢ What are the sources of energy in the environment?
➢ What are the man-made sources of energy?
Class work: Activities and exercises at the end of the lesson will be discussed and
done in the note books. Pictures of Living and Non-Living things will be drawn or
pasted.
23
Final Recapitulation:
1. What do you mean by environment?
2. Give some examples of natural elements.
3. Is human being a producer or consumer?
4. Who are the producers? What do they do?
5. How carnivores depend on plants?
Homework:
1. Draw and describe food chain.
2. Write down the benefits of sunlight.
3. How increased plantation can influence the environment?
