Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)
Experiential Learning: conduct experiments to demonstrate the effects of the various factors on the growth and development of flowering plants. Learn ways of managing new and stressful experiences as an individual while respectfully consulting peers and teachers when in need. Teaching and Learning Materials: - * Three different species of the different groups of mammals (e.g., rabbit, albino rat, guinea pig, cat, etc.), dissection kits such as dissecting scissors, forceps or tweezers, scalpels, hand gloves, a dissecting board, etc. * Young monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants (e.g., mango/orange seedling, maize seedling), dissecting kits, microscope, slides, etc. * Flowering plants (monocotyledons and dicotyledons) with flowers, shears, trays and scalpels * "TV/LCD projector, * Monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants * Blade/scalpel * Board * Light microscope * Petri dish * Microscope slide * Coverslip * Eosin stain * Water * A young monocot and dicot plants (e.g., mango/orange seedling, maize seedling) * Dissecting kits - YEAR TWO - * Microscope * Slides, etc." - Computer/Projectors/TV/Smart phone * Pen drive * Pictures * Simulation device * Yam tissue * Concentrated salt/sugar solution * Water * Crystals of potassium permanganate * Source of water * Source of light * Nutrients * A temperature-regulated environment. Assessment (1.4.2.AS.3). The document marks these depth-of-knowledge levels for this indicator: Level 1 Recall; Level 3 Strategic reasoning; Level 4 Extended critical thinking and reasoning.
