=== Lesson plan 2 ===
Methodology : Using drawings for detailed study of entities.
==== Session 1: ====
# Draw an insect looking at any insect picture and label the parts .
# Collect insects and arachnids (dead ones ) near sun shades, under light source etc Look at insects , draw and label.(Make sure children observe and draw details like proboscis etc

# Use sentence table to describe the parts of the insects and functions (Snapshot of a child's notes )
==== Session 3 ====
Make labeled boxes of insects, arachnids , birds , plants etc. As children observe , children can add chits of names once they observe an insect , plant etc.
This will be the material for the next session. Based on their observation and collections , classification of insects/birds/plants can be introduced.
==== Session 4 ====
Classify the chits collected as vertebrates /invertebrates , flowering /non flowering .
Discussion points :
What are the different ways of classification emerging out of this lesson?
==== Session 5 ====
1. Choose an ecosystem eg. Pond life (Snapshot of the picture board )
2. Write under different classifications from the picture board.
3. If possible visit a nearby pond and connect to what ever one observes. Revisit classification , food chain .
Discussion points :
What are different kinds of similar habitats around you?
