WEEK ONE & TWO

 

TOPIC- DOMESTIC ANIMALS

 

Domestic animals are animals we keep in and around our homes. Animals we keep in our homes are called pets.

 

Different animals can be found in different homes because people differ in the choice of animals they want as pets. Many people like to keep dogs, cats and parrots as pets. These are common pet animals.

 

 Pets are not the only animals found in the home. Some other animals such as goats, chickens, are kept around our homes. We keep such animals to eat them later. Many kinds of domestic animals are kept in a animal farm. 

 

Examples of domestic animals are hens, goats, dogs, pigs, cattles etc

  BASIC SCIENCE PRIMARY 5 SECOND TERM LESSON NOTE

Domestic animals can be classified into

Per

Farm Animals

BENEFITS OF DOMESTIC ANIMALS

We make money when by selling them to people.

They are used as securities (dog)

They are source of food to human.

Rearing of domestic animals provides employment.

 

WEEK 2

REPRODUCTION IN DOMESTIC ANIMALS

In animal’s reproduction occurs as result of union of male and females. The male fertilized the female Ovule and zygote or egg is produced. The zygote then turns into a foetus or embryo.

Hen, female adult insects like mosquito and termite produce larva or nymphs from egg. Mammals like dogs, cats and human being gives birth to their young ones alive.

FEEDING AND HABIT OF DOMESTIC ANIMALS

Feeding means what they eat while HABITAT is where the animal live whether inside or outside the house.

HERBVOROUS ANIMALS are animals that feeds on plants e.g. goat while CARNIVOROUSANIMALS are animals that feeds on other animals e.g. cats eats rats.

WEEK 3&4

 

 

TOPIC: THE HUMAN BODY (THE SKELETAL SYSTEM)

PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES

At the end of this lesson, Pupils should be able to:

Identify the major bones in the body.

Identify the major joints in the body.

State the functions of bones and joints

LESSON CONTENT

 BASIC SCIENCE PRIMARY 5 SECOND TERM LESSON NOTE

THE SKELETAL SYSTEM

The skeletal system can be called the skeleton. The skeleton is made up of all the bones in human body. Without the skeleton, we as human will not be able to work, walk, eat etc. the skeleton gives our body shapes, support, movement and protect some parts of our body. Any hard materials apart from finger nails, teeth and cartilage in human body are known as bones. A doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating disorders and injuries related to the muscular skeletal system (especially in children) is called an ORTHOPEDIST.
































TYPES OF BONES

The skeleton is made up of three major types of bones the long Bones: these are the thigh bones called femur, the upper arm bones known as humorous and the lower arm bones known as ulna and radius and the leg bones called tibia and fibula. These are small pieces of bones that are arranged to form the back bones or vertebral column (protecting the spinal cord).The bones around the neck regions are called the CERVICAL VERTEBRAE while the backbones around the chest region are called the THORACIC VERTEBRAE.

Animals with back bones are called vertebrates.

Phalanges: these are bones of the fingers and toes. They are pieces of jointed short bones. Eight carpals arranged in two rows of four each are connected to the phalanges.

THE JOINT

The joint is the place in human body where two or more bones meet. Muscles are attached to the bones at the joints to make movement possible. Joints are found in the following places of our body: neck, shoulders, waist, fingers, toes, elbows, wrists, knees, toes, etc.

TYPES OF JOINTS

There are two types of joints in human body; these are

Movable joint

Immovable joints or fixed joints

Movable joint

These are joint where bones meet together, it can slide on each other or move over each other.

 BASIC SCIENCE PRIMARY 5 SECOND TERM LESSON NOTE

Examples of movable joints

Ball and Socket Joints: these are found in the shoulder and hip. It allows movement in all directions.

Hinge Joints: these are found on toes, fingers, knees and elbow. It allows forward and backward movement like a book.

Pivot Joints: these are found on the neck. Used for nodding.

Gliding Joints (articulation planar):  these are found on ankles and wrists.

IMMOVABLE JOINTS

These joint are two or more bones fixed together with little or no movement. They are fixed by ligament. These are skull, joints in the pelvic girdle.

FUNCTIONS OF BONES AND JOINTS

They provide support for the body.

They give shapes to our body

They muscles are attached to them for movement.

They protect delicate organs like lings, heart, the spinal cord and the brain (skull).

They help to store certain minerals like calcium and phosphate in the body.

They help to produce some of the body blood cells.

LESSON EVALUATION

Teacher ask the learners to:

Mention the major bones in the body.

Mention the major joints in the body.

State three functions of bones and joints.

CONCLUSION: the teacher summarizes the lesson.

 

 

WEEK 5&6

 

TOPIC: REPRODUCTION IN PLANTS

PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES

At the end of this lesson, Pupils should be able to:

Identify part of a flower.

Explain type and agent of pollination

Identify parts of a flower that are concerned with pollination and fertilization.

Distinguish between pollination and fertilization.

Describe stages of development from flowers to fruit.

LESSON CONTENT

REPRODUCTION

Reproduction is the ability of living things to reproduce young ones of their own kind. Reproduction is one of the characteristic of living things. Without living thing reproducing it young one, then there would be no living things on earth anymore.

.

Way by which plant reproduce their young ones.

Sexual reproduction: flowering plants make use of seeds.  In most plants, the seedlings are developed from their seeds, which are obtained from flower when the male and female parts of flower meet to form union, seeds are obtained from flower.

Asexual or Vegetative Reproduction: the use of vegetative parts of plants (leaves, stems, buds and roots). Some plants part can also reproduce young ones without seeds, plants like cassava  can reproduces by planting of the stem and  yam can reproduces by planting the  tuber.

PARTS OF A FLOWER

Flower is the organ responsible for producing fruits in flowering plants. So, the male and the female reproductive parts of a plant are in the flower.













 BASIC SCIENCE PRIMARY 5 SECOND TERM LESSON NOTE

The two (2) major parts of flower are:

The Stamen or the Male part: it consists of the anther and filament.

The pistil or the female part: it consists of the ovary, stigma and style.

FUNCTIONS OF EACH PART OF A FLOWER

Part of a flower

Function

Anthers

It produces pollen grains

Stigma

Receives pollen grains during pollination

Sepals

Protects the floral parts in the bud

Petals

Attracts insect because of the possession of sweet smell and bright colors.

Style

It is the pollen tubes that carries the male gamete into the female gamete (ovary)

Ovary

It houses the egg or the ovule

Filament

It holds the anther

POLLINATION

Pollination is the transfer of pollen grains (Yellow dust) from the anther into the stigma (sticky section) of a flowering plant during reproduction.

The pollen grains are the yellow dust which contains the male sex cell or sperm while the stigma is the sticky section. So when the pollen grains from the male flower drops on the stigma of the female part, the process is called pollination.

TYPES OF POLLINATION

We have two types of pollination. These are:

Self-Pollination: pollen grains from the flower are transferred from the anther into stigma of the same flowering plant.

Cross Pollination: the pollen grains from one flower is carried to the stigma of another flower of the same kind.

AGENT OF POLLINATION

The agent of pollination are man, wind, insect, birds, snail, etc

POLLINATION BY INSECT

Insects like butterfly, moths, bees are the most common agent of pollination because they visit flowers regularly to suck the sweet liquid called NECTAR. After sucking the nectar the pollen grains stick to their body and when they touch the stigma of the same plant or other plant of same kind, the pollen grains then drop into the stigma and pollination will occur without the insect knowing.

FERTILIZATION AND FRUIT DEVELOPMENT IN PLANT

Fertilization in plant occurs after pollination, the male sex cell or sperm (male gamete) in the pollen grain unite with the female sex cell, or ovule in the ovary to form seeds (zygote and embryo), which  develop  to form the fruit.

Differences between pollination and fertilization

Pollination

Fertilization

It is the transfer of male part into the female part.

It is the union of the male gamete and female gamete.

It occurs outside the plant

It occurs inside the plant

Agents are needed for pollination to occur

Fertilization occur without  any agent

LESSON EVALUATION

Draw and identify the part of a flower.

State the functions of parts of a flower.

What is pollination?

What is fertilization in plants?

Explain the type and agent of pollination

Identify parts of a flower that are concerned with pollination and fertilization.

Distinguish between pollination and fertilization.

Describe stages of development from flowers to fruit
