For the educator:
THIS PAGE MAY HELP YOU TO SET UP:
1.1 Display PLANTs in a beaker/conical flasks in front of class, in the following
order:
A- Flower plant 7
B- Moss plant | label the
C- Fern plant i beakers- A, B, C and D
D- Pine plant
1.2 Give learners flowers of grass, and equipment (as per test) to help them
dissect the reproductive parts. Look for a grass that you can see parts and that
you can dissect. Try out first.
21 Set up the practical in front on class as per the diagram in question as demo.
Label the test tubes A, B and C.
2.2 Arrange the equipment mentioned in front of class, as per the list in question.
Learners can visualise.
3.1 Set up the bell jar. You will need to demonstrate the inhalation.
3.2 Mention to learners as pre-practical instructions, to bring ALL necessary
stationary, including protractors, compasses, even tweezers, if your school
don’t have, for the dissection, in question one.
4A You will need to dissect all the kidneys. Use tooth picks cut in half. Puta
label on the broken end. Pierce the parts of the kidney using the pointed end,
as follows:
A- Cortex region
B- Calyx
C- Pelvis
D- Pyramid
