Theme 1: Tissue

Plant Tissues

  1. Definition of tissue.
  2. Classification of plant tissues: Meristematic and permanent (simple and complex).
  3. Meristematic tissues: characteristics (any two), simple structure, location, function, examples.
  4. Simple permanent tissues: parenchyma, collenchyma, sclerenchyma (simple structure, location and functions of each), examples.
  5. Complex permanent tissues: xylem, phloem- function only. (Elements of xylem and phloem not to be mentioned).

Animal Tissues

  1. Epithelial tissue: simple location, and function (types of epithelial tissue not to be mentioned).
  2. Connective tissue location and functions of bone, cartilage, blood, ligament, tendon.
  3. Muscular tissue: location and one function of:
    – striated (voluntary or skeletal muscle),
    – unstriated (involuntary/ smooth muscle),
    – cardiac (specialized muscle).
  4. Nerve tissue: parts of neuron (cell body, Dendron, axon).

Theme 2: Kingdom Classification

  1. Meaning and concept of classification
  2. Need and advantages of Classification
  3. Characteristics of each kingdom with suitable examples:
    (i) Monera: bacteria – shape; useful bacteria, harmful bacteria (applications related to daily life to be discussed);
    (ii) Protista: Amoeba – basic structure and life processes (nutrition, locomotion, respiration, excretion and reproduction – by binary and multiple fission);
    (iii)Fungi: basic structure of mould, nutrition and respiration in mould, useful fungi, harmful fungi (applications related to daily life to be discussed);
    (iv)Plantae: characteristics and examples (classification of plantae not to be discussed);
    (v) Animalia
    (a)Vertebrates.
    (b)Invertebrates: 9 major Phyla, Porifera, Cnidaria, Coelenterata, Platyhelminthes, nematoda, Annelida, Arthropoda, Mollusca, Echinodermata)

Theme 3: Plant Life

Photosynthesis

  1. Definition, basic process, factors affecting photosynthesis: (light, carbon dioxide, water, chlorophyll), significance of photosynthesis, setup.
  2. Experiment to demonstrate photosynthesis process.

Respiration

  1. Basic process, word equation; respiration as a process which releases energy; respiration in plants: two types (aerobic and anaerobic: basic concept, word equations for both, examples).
  2. Respiration and photosynthesis in plants, difference in both processes.

Theme 4: Human Body

Excretory System

Excretion: Definition.

  1. Organs and their excretory products (kidneys, sweat glands, lungs);
  2. Renal Excretory System – kidneys, ureter, urinary bladder, urethra (location and functions to be explained along with diagram);
  3. Role of kidneys infiltration of blood through millions of nephrons (details not required, structure of nephron not to be discussed); common disorders of the urinary system: Urinary Tract Infection, kidney stone.

Nervous System

  1. Main parts: brain, spinal cord, nerves.
  2. Brain: cerebrum, cerebellum, medulla oblongata (location and function).
  3. Spinal cord: location and function.
  4. Nerves: what are nerves; their general function.

Theme 5: Health and Hygiene

Allergy

  1. Concept of allergy.
  2. Allergens: Common allergens like dust, pollen grain, mites, strong sunlight, particular food items.
  3. Entry routes of allergens: mouth, nose, skin.
  4. Symptoms of allergic reaction.
  5. Types of allergies: seasonal and perennial with examples.
  6. Precautions and care to be taken by a person who is prone to allergies.
