Lesson Plan of Introduction of Human Body (Teeth)
General Science Grade IV
Students’ Learning Outcomes
·
Identify major parts (Teeth)
of human body.
·
State functions of major
parts (teeth) of the body.
Information for Teachers
·
There are two sets of teeth
in our life. Babies have milk teeth by the age of three. The set of permanent
teeth completes between the ages of 17 to 21 years. Permanent teeth are of four
types i.e. incisors (for cutting food) canines (for splitting food), premolars
(for crushing and grinding food) and molars (for grinding hard food)Worm up Activity
·
Ask the students if they can
name different parts of their bicycle. Write students’ responses on the board.
·
Tell the students that as the
bicycle has many parts, our body is also made of many parts. These parts are
called organs.
·
Ask the students to name all
the organs of body which they can see and touch. Write students’ responses on
board.
·
Make them focus that these
are the external parts of their body e.g. ear, eye, teeth, and skin.
·
Explain that like these
external parts there are some parts inside the body which also perform variety
of functions.
Development
Activity:
·
Ask the students which part
of their body works like a chopper.
(Expected response: Teeth)
·
Ask each student to count the
teeth of his/her friend. Ask them the number of teeth.
·
Explain the concept of milk
teeth and permanent teeth and ask the students:
----Which sets of teeth you have? Milk
teeth, permanent teeth or both!
(Expected response: Both sets)
-----What was your age when your permanent
teeth appeared?
(Expected response: After 7 years
of age)
·
Tell the students that milk
teeth are 20 in number while permanent teeth are 32 in number.
·
Explain the basic structure
of a permanent tooth (root and crown) by drawing it on the board and ask the
students to see the diagram from book.
·
Demonstrate the shapes and
locations of incisors, canines, premolars and molars by using charts, pictures
or drawing.
·
Show the students a picture
of full jaw in which all types of teeth are shown and ask to count the number
of each type of teeth in the diagram.
·
Prepare teeth card (like the
one shown) to clear the types of teeth and reinforce students’ learning by
asking them to locate incisors, canines, premolars and molars.
Sum up / Conclusion
·
There are two types of teeth: milk teeth and
permanent teeth. Permanent teeth are of four types: incisors, canines,
premolars and molars.
Assessment
·
Draw following table on the board.
·
Instruct the students how to fill the table.
·
They will explain their understanding by
completing the table
