Substitution class and foldscope&#8230;.

Class.. 10 practical class started with the study of stomata. Stomata are the openings found on the surface of leaf which help in gaseous exchange. More number of stomata are distributed on the lower surface of leaf compared to the upper surface to prevent excess transpiration. Each stomata has two bean shaped guard cells surrounded by numerous epidermal cells. The opening is called the stoma or stomata pore through which gaseous exchange takes place.

 A team from our school,Jnana Vijnana Vidyapeetha,Bangalore comprising of the Principal,Mrs Lakshmi Murthy,PI,Mrs Kavitha Sebastin and Science teachers Mrs Shobha,Mrs Sailasri and Mrs Suma M N visited a Government high school at Nagargere,Gowribidnur taluk on 7th september,2018 to conduct activities using the foldscopes as an educational tool.The following activities were conducted:
 
 1.Introduction of foldscope using PPT presentation by Principal,Mrs Lakshmi Murthy.
 
 2.Assembly of foldscope by Mrs Kavitha Sebastin and Mrs Shobha.
 
 3.Demonstration of temporary slide preparation by grouping students into small groups by 4 teachers.
 
 4.Conduction of Science quiz for class 10 based on the concepts shown using foldscope.
 
 The students were very much excited and enjoyed the program.There were around 200 students and everyone got the chance to use the foldscopes and explore the scientific world.We used 20 foldscopes.

 Jute is obtained from stem of jute plant.The stems of harvested plants are immersed in water for few days.The stems rot and fibres are separated by hand.The fibres are first converted into yarns and it is made into carpets,ropes etc.

Jute fibres &#8211; class 8

Bracts are modified leaf especially associated with a reproductive structure such as a flower. The bracts of Bougainvillea are thin and papery and surround the tiny true flower.
 
 Each bract has a central vein with several veinlets.However they do not undergo the process of photosynthesis. The bracts too show reticulate venation.

Bougainvillea -Coloured bract

Coriander leaf shows reticulate venation as it is a dicot plant.When coriander leaf was observed under the foldscope the number of veinlets seen was very less compared to other leaves.This may be because coriander is a herbaceous plant and the veins need not carry water to longer height as in shrubs and trees.

 Class-7
 
 Topic-Transportation in plants
 
 Like human beings plants also need to transport substances.They have vascular tissues called Xylem and phloem for transportation.Xylem is a water conducting tissue and phloem is a food conducting tissue.While teaching the above topic the students observed the Xylem and phloem tissue under the foldscope and got first hand experience.They could understand the concept clearly as they observed the tissues simultaneously along with the theory part in class room setting.

 The  muddy water sample with bits of leaves was kept stagnant in a beaker in lab for almost a month and a tiny worm moving was noticed.It had jointed legs and antennae and may belong to annelida.This worm was observed under the foldscope.

Observation of muddy water along with some small bits of leaves under foldscope

Class-7


 Topic: Sexual reproduction in plants – Parts of a typical flower


 While teaching the above topic, Hibiscus flower was used as a teaching aid and each part of  the flower was observed under the foldscope like the cells of sepal,petal cells, stamen,anther releasing pollen grains, pollen grains ,ovule and stigma.It was very easy for the students to understand the concept and also to understand the process of pollination and fertilization which would be taught in the next class.
