This document contains an innovative lesson plan submitted by Vidhya Vijayan for teaching biology to 9th standard students. The lesson plan focuses on the topic of respiration in humans. It includes several hands-on activities such as observing breathing by holding one's breath, identifying pictures related to respiration, and feeling vocal vibrations in the throat. The goal is for students to understand concepts like the role of the nasal cavity in filtering air, the epiglottis preventing food from entering the respiratory tract, and gas exchange occurring in the alveoli of the lungs. Formative assessment questions are included to check student understanding.

(lesson in an activity mode)
Name of the teacher : Vidhya Vijayan Standard : 9th
Name of the school : ST. Thomas School Strength :
Subject : Biology Date :
Unit : For obtaining energy Period :
Topic : Importance of Respiration Time : 40 min
Curricular Statements a. To attain knowledge about respiration in man
b. To attain the conceptual ideas regarding respiration
Learning Outcomes
Factual Knowledge
The learner recalling the term lungs
The learner recognizing the mode of respiratory organs
Conceptual Knowledge The learner understands how respiration takes place
Procedural Knowledge The learner gives reason for “while eating don’t talk or laugh ?
Metacognitive level The learner analyses the role of epiglottis
Process Skill The learner develops observation skill through observing the human
respiratory system
The learner communicates with others about the role of epiglottis.
Content Analysis
Terms : Nostrils, nasal passage, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchus, lungs, alveoli,
epiglottis
Facts: 1. Lungs are a pair of respiratory organ of present in the thoraxic
cavity
2. Respiratory gases enter and expel out of the lungs through nostrils
3. Mucus and hair are present in the nasal cavity which filters air and
nakes it germs free
4. Pharynx acts as a common paasage for air and food
5. Epiglottis prevent entering the food to the respiratory tract by
closing glottis
6. Alveoli which give surface for gaseous exchange

3. Concept :
Major Concept : Importance of Respiration
Minor Concept : Gaseous change in alveoli
Pre-Require sites : The learner already know that the lungs is the respiratory organ in main.
Students already know that air get in and expelled out through a pair of
nostrils.

TEACHIING LEARNING INTRACTION PUPIL RESPONSES
Introduction :
As part of awakening process, the teacher
conducts a discussion with the students.
Do you like all subject ?
Which subject do you like most ?
Pupil say ‘yes’
Pupil say ‘Biology English, Maths
Which is the subject that deals with life? Why is it
so ?
Students responds “Biology”. It is related with life
activities
Can you suggest some vital life activities ?
OK
Students responds respiration, circulation
Teacher says,
Look I am standing still, which life activity is
going on as you can see? Teacher says which
process is helping for this ?
Do you want to know more about respiration
in man ?
Today we are going to study about it
Importance of Respiration (BBH)
Students responds as breathing respiration

4. Presentation
Teacher starts the class with different activity]
Activity No : 1
Teacher ask the students to sit straight in the class
and hold their noise and mouth together with their
palm and ask them to observe that.
Pupil listen the class
Students observed as breathing
Ask one or two students to explain he how long they
could hold their breath
The student explained breathing
Activity No : 2
Teacher shows a picture and ask to identify Teacher
ask as a student why it is caused ?
Student explained as it is due to the lack of oxygen and
also explained the importance of oxygen in human
body
Activity No : 3
Teacher shows another picture and ask the
students to identify
The students identified as a human body which is
blue in colour.
Others pupil listen carefully.
The students identified as person sneezing while
clearing
Teacher ask the students why is it caused so ? A student came forward and explained them
Students explained that in nasal cavity, there is the
presence of hairs and mucus. Hair help to filter the air
and mucous help to keep the cavity germ free. The
presence of moisture makes the air purify and the
presence of chemical substance in mucous skill the
germs
Students listen carefully
Activity No. 4
Teacher shows a picture and ask them to identify
the picture
The students identified as a person taking food
while laughing
Teacher ask one or two students to explained why is
it so ?
A students came forward to explain

5. The student explained that pharnyx is the common
passage of food and air. It prevents food entering
through glottis
Other students listen carefully
Activity No : 5
Teacher asks the students to keep the finger’s on
the throat and say I like biology ? What do you feel
now ?
From where the vibration comes ?
Pupil says “Kind of Vibration felt”
Students say “trachea”.
Activity No : 6
Teacher show a picture and ask to identify it
Can anybody explain why is it so ? the student
explained that:-
Pupil identified it as “a suffocating person”
A student came forward to explained
There are parts of trachea, bronchus, bronchioles,
each bronchioles ends in a balloow like structure called
alveolus and also a double layered covering of lungs
protect lungs from external shocks
Students listen carefully
Formative Assessment
Review Question
1. What are the special features of alveoli and that help in gaseous exchange ?
Follow-up-activity :
“Don’t talk or laugh while eating”. What is your opinion given to other about this ?
