Teaching Points and Learning Objectives
Crite ria of Good Handwriting
1. It should be distinctive – each letter should have a characteristic of its own.
2. It should be simple with no unnecessary flourishes.
3. Letters and words should be evenly spaced, neither too far apart nor crowded together.
4. There should be uniformity in size of letters, spacing, alignment and direction of slant.
5. The script should be such that it can be executed at a reasonable speed. It should not be laboured. It
must however be emphasized that speed should not be aimed for in the earlier stages of writing. It
should be kept in mind as a goal to be achieved by older pupils.
Spelling
1. Direct the children‘s attention to the appearance; sound and structure of the words and to irregularities
among the words and so help them to acquire a feel for the underlying rules of spelling.
2. Give children a lot of practice so that good spelling becomes habitual and automatic.
3. Help pupils develop strategies for discovering correct spelling when they are in doubt. Help them in the
correct use of the dictionary for this purpose.
4. Effective teaching of spelling must be geared to individual needs. Each child will have different needs
and teaching spelling to a class as a whole or from word lists may not always be a satisfactory answer to
individual problems. The pupil needs to practice those words, which he himself spells incorrectly.

Compilation of Dictionaries
1. One-way of creating an interest in spelling is to encourage pupils to compile their own dictionaries. The
dictionary of each pupil will consist of words which he has used in writing work, or which he has misspelt.
It should also include words which have aroused his interest and which he has come across in
reading and which he would like to use.
2. Teachers can help their pupils to increase the vocabulary in their dictionaries by going through written
work carefully and compiling lists of words, which are most commonly used in the class. To this may be
added lists of words, which are commonly mis – spelt.
3. The active (writing) vocabulary given in Appendix II is to be used as a ―check‖ list. It should be
regarded as the writing vocabulary to be acquired by the end of Standard V.

6. Skeletal and muscular system, respiratory system, digestive, circulatory system, their organs and briefly
mention their functions.
Suggested Activities
1. Working in pairs, students can explore reflex actions like blinking at sudden movements/noises, the
reaction of the pupils in the eye to bright light etc.
Simple Rules for Health, Hygiene and Accident Prevention
1. Revise briefly, need for balanced diet, good posture, adequate exercise and rest.
2. Cleanliness of the body/clothes/food and water/ surroundings prevents sickness – examples of problems
arising out of luck of cleanliness.

4. Preventing accidents – through actual examples and discussion – avoiding use of fire, sharp objects,
careless storage of dangerous items like tools, using electricity with care. Safety measures on the
playground and on roads.
Plant Reproduction
1. Plants, like all living things reproduce more of their own kind – most new plants grow from seeds.
2. Some plants grow from other parts of a plant – potatoes, onion, ginger, carrot, from cutting of stems
(money plant/ jasmine/Hibiscus etc.), bananas etc.
3. Parts of a flower – draw /label (e.g. lily or hibiscus).
4. Pollination – how seeds are formed.
5. Germination of seeds (brief revision).
6. Dispersal of seeds – through air, water, animals or explosion
Suggested Activities
1. Grow carrot tops, potatoes, onions, and money plant cuttings.
2. Students should actually observe the parts of a flower and draw them
3. Discuss the varied uses of flowers – as food, medicine, dyes and perfumes; in religion/culture.
4. Collect seedpods of local trees to see how they disperse the seeds.
5. Find out names of seasonal flowers and learn to identify them.
Solids, Liquids, Gas
1. Revision of general properties studied in class III.
2. Solids can have many other properties – find examples from everyday life – powders, can be bent,
broken stretched, can catch fire, edible/inedible.
3. Liquids – sticky, sweet, edible, can burn.
4. Gases – can burn, found all around, needed for breathing etc.
5. Crystals of salt/sugar seen with a magnifying glass have tiny particles.
6. Substances are also made up of tiny particles – too small to be seen – called molecules. All molecules of
one substance are exactly alike and different from those of another substance. How molecules are
arranged in solids, liquids and gases. What happens during a change of state?
Suggested Activities
1. Role – play (analogy) to understand molecular arrangement – students in a classroom – what happens
when the teacher leaves – what happens when they are let into playground?
2. Sand in a jar full of marbles goes into the interior – marble spaces.

Air
1. Air can exert a push (called pressure) – used to move and lift things. When air is compressed into small
spaces it exerts pressure – e.g. car and cycle tyres.
2. The atmosphere also exerts pressure. This helps us to use droppers, drinking straws, pour juice out of
cans etc.
3. Warm air is lighter and rises; cool air is heavier and sinks – together they form convection currents –
land and sea breezes. During summer, warm air above the land rise; moisture – laden winds blow in
from the sea (monsoon).
4. Uses of Ventilators
Suggested Activities
1. Use inflated balloons to lift books, glass etc.
2. See air lift cars at petrol pumps.
3. Find out why we make two holes in a can of juice.
4. Watch how air pressure helps you use a drinking straw/dropper.
5. Find out about hot air balloons.
Soils
1. Sand, clay, loam – which is best for plants?
2. A good garden soil contains humus (dead plans/animals) moisture and air. Plants use water and minerals
from soil.
3. Dead leaves, twigs, vegetable peels decay to make compost/manure (bio – degradable). Litter like
plastic, glass metal etc will not decay and enrich soil - should be disposed off separately.
4. Soil erosion – caused by flowering water, wind. Prevention – terracing, plant trees/grass.
5. Animals in the soil: earth worms – turn the soil and make it fertile.
6. Tetanus germs in the soil van cause dangerous disease – how to look after wounds to avoid tetanus.
Suggested Activities
1. Observe different soils under a hand lens.
2. Compare quantity of water retained by equal amounts of different soils (Demonstration).
3. Soil in closed jar, in the sun, releases water vapour.
4. Observe the effect of a fan on bare/soil/soil with seedling in trays.
5. Anti – litter campaigns.
6. Looking after Planet Earth
7. Living things are inter – dependent – plants are the only producers – all others living things are
consumers – simple food chains – scavengers and decomposers.
What happens if there is an imbalance in nature?
1. Simple examples: forest fires, hunting by Man…… .Man uses the earth – air, water, and soil – how do
they get polluted?
2. Wate r: sewage, chemicals.
3. Air: Dust, fumes.
4. Soil: Garbage does not decay, chemicals, oil, DDT etc.
5. Noise pollution.
6. Pollution after affects the health of human beings.
7. Preventing pollution is everybody‘s responsibility.
8. Conservation – use all resources with care and avoid waste.

Keeping Warm
1. All living things need heat – germination – we get heat form burning fuels – from electricity.
2. Excess heat can kill (e.g. pasteurization kills germs in milk, boiling purifies water for drinking.)
3. Some materials like metals get hot quickly – others do not – hence utensils have handles of
plastic/wood.
4. Some things catch fire easily – paper./matches.
5. Burns – first aid.

higher classes, to take up greater responsibilities like captainship, oral pro jects and literary events which
require addressing a crowd.
- If Value education is taught to a small group, every child will get individual attention so students will be
able to overcome their inhibitions and be interactive in academic sphere.
- All round development through the various activities stated will help to make the students more focused in
academics, increase power of concentration and make them more dedicated.
