This lesson plan is for an 8th standard Biology class on spore formation. It involves teaching students about key terms like fungi, bread, spores, and reproduction through fungi. Students will learn facts about how fungi grow on bread from spores in the air, and how spores are light and can travel long distances. They will develop conceptual understanding of spore formation through class activities, including reading about spore formation and completing a conversation about finding fungi on bread. The goal is for students to understand that spores are asexual reproductive bodies and how plants like moss reproduce through spores.

Duration : 45 mints
Curricular Statement
Develop Factual, conceptual, procedural, metacognitive, process skills and attitude on ‘spore formation’ through
lecture method, group discussion, exclamation by questioning, participating in group work and group discussion
Content Analysis
New terms : Fungi, bread, spores, floating, asexual, low humidity, moss, ferns, reproduce
Facts :
1) The fungi on as bread piece grow from operas which are present in the air.
2) Observe the spares in the cotton like mesh on the bread
3) When spores are released they keep floating in the air

2. 4) They are very light they can cover long distance
5) The spores are asexual reproductive bodies
6) Each sporeis covered by a hard protective coatto with stand unfavourable condition such as high temperature.
7) Under favourable conditions, opera germinates and develop unto an new individual.
8) Plants such as moss and years above reproduce by means of spores.
Concepts
Minor concepts
 Plants such as moss and joins also reproduceby means of spores
 Each sporeis covered by a hard protective coat to with stand unfavourable condition such as high temperatures.
 When spores are released they keep
Major concepts
 Sporeformation
Learning Outcome in terms
of Specifications
1) Enable the pupil to develop
a) Recalling the new terms like spore, reproduce, bread, mesh, light, cotton etc facts, concepts mentioned in the content
analysis
b) Recognising the term spore formation
2) Conceptual knowledge about the sporeformation through
a) Recalling the terms in spore formation

3. b) Recognizing the term spore formation
3) Procedural knowledge on the sporeformation through

4) Metacognitive knowledge on sporeformation through
a) Recognising the term in sporeformation
b) Describing the terms sporeformation
5) Different process skills like
a) Identifying the term sporeformation
b) Communicating through presenting the group work
6) Scientific attitude towards the study of sporeformation
Pre-Requisties

4. Class room Interaction Procedure
Introduction
Teacher makes a supportwith students by asking questions
related to contexture situation them teacher asks following
question for checking processes knowledge
1) Have you excretion a bread?
2) What happens to bread while keeping it some days
Teacher says Todaywe are going to study about the topic
sporeformation
Presentation
Activity – I
Pupil Response
Teacher gives the handout containing the points related to
spore formation and ask the students to read the point one
by one.
1) The fungi on a bread piece grow from spores which
are present in the air
2) Observe the spores in the cotton like inserts on the
bread
3) When spores are released they keep foaling in the air.
4) As they are very light they can cover long distances
5) The spores and asexual reproductive bodies.
6) Each spore is covered by hard protective coat to
withstand unfavourable conditions such as high
temperature and low humidity so they can survive for
a long time.

5. 7) Under favourable conditions, a spore generates and
develops into a new individual
8) Plants such as more a terms also reproduce by means
of spores.
Consolidation
Spores are asexual reproductive
bodies, each spore is covered
by a hard protective coat.
Activity : II
Teacher tells to the students that today I am going to
teach about spore formation by showing a conversation
between mom and son and complete the conversation
teacher ask the students to listen the mars ?
(Mom in the kitchen making tea son returned home from
school)
Son : Mom, M back where is the bread and jam am
feeling hungry
Mom : Son kept them outside two days back
Son : OK mom let me search
Mom : Yeah, fine
Son : Mom, ………… what is this? a black thing in
bread piece

6. Mom : What happened? a black things?
Son : Yes, in bread piece as full of black things are
spreaded
Mom : Son don’t eat that, it is a fungus
By reading this conversation what your came to know
and complete
the conversation in your thoughts?
Consolidations
Plant such as mom and
term also reproduce
by means of spores

7. Review
Questions.
1) What is sporeFormation?
2) Give examples for sporeformations?
Follow up activity
1) Explain how the Sporeformation take place in
fungus?
