Discussion
If a teacher wants that students learn about the plant diversity, which of the following are the most suitable activities for this?
A. Ask students to look for objects which have patterns of leaves on them in their house.
B. Recite a poem to students written on different types of plants and their characteristics.
C. Blindfold students and ask the students to identify plants by smelling crushed leaves.
D. Ask students to collect the leaves of plants and make pictures of different animals using the leaves.
Choose the correct option.
Answer: D
The key gives C and D.
Identifying plants blindfold by the smell of crushed leaves (C) makes children notice that plants differ even in features they cannot see. Collecting leaves of many plants and arranging them into pictures (D) makes children handle and compare a wide range of leaf shapes, sizes, colours and textures. Both are first-hand activities with real plants.
Looking for leaf patterns printed on household objects (A) is about designs, not living plants, and listening to a poem (B) is passive, so options including A or B are less suitable.
