PRACTICAL : Basic needs of plants
Objectives : To determine the basic needs of plants : sunlight, air and water
Problem : Do Plants need Sunshine?
Aim : To investigate the basic need of plants : sunlight
Tools/Apparatus :
Growing plant with large leaves, 2 pots of plants, Black construction paper, paper
clips
Procedure A.
1. Gave each group of students a healthy plant.
2. Four squares pieces of the black construction paper were cut out.
3. Covered up two leaves on the healthy green plant with the black construction
pieces, one on top of the leaf and one below the leaf.
4. Secured the papers on the leaves with paper clips.
5. Ensured that the entire leaf area, on the top and on the bottom was covered and
wouldn’t be able to get sunlight.
6. After several days, removed the construction paper and observed the results.

Conclusion: Plants needs sunlight to produce its own food by process of
photosynthesis
Questions:
1. What do the leaves look like?
The leaves which are covered with black construction paper and the
plant which placed in the cupboard have changed in colour.
2. What colour are they?
They are turned into yellowish and looked drop.

Discussion :
1. The result not showing any changes on the leaf which placed under the sun
but a few changes can be seen to the leaves covered with black construction
paper on top and below of the leaf.
2. It is because:
A) Need long duration to get the best result.
B) The species covered with special layer of cuticles
C) The weather during the experiment is not same, sometimes raining and
cloud.
3. The pattern of the leaf that covered topside were droop or die but nothing
change if half leaf covered at bottom of the leaf.

PRACTICAL : Basic needs of plants
Objectives : To determine the basic needs of plants : sunlight, air and water
Problem : Can Plants Live Without Water?
Aim : To investigate the basic need of plants : water
Tools/Apparatus :
Two beakers, water, soil, humus, bean seeds
Procedure A.
1. Planted some bean seeds in each of the plastic cup.
2. Placed both plants in the sunshine.
3. Watered plant “A” lightly each day.
4. Did not watered the plant “B”.
Results :
Observation Inferences
Plant “A” Grow well Plants need water to live
Plant “B” Not growPlants without water will not live or grow
8
Conclusion: Plants needs water to stay alive because plants cannot live without
water or they will dehydrate.

Picture 9: After several days (without water)
10
Ouestions :
1. Would the same results be possible with different kind of seeds?
Yes because plants need water. Water is essential to all life on earth. No
known organism can exist without water. Plants use water to carry
moisture and nutrients from the roots to he leaves and food from the
leaves back down to the roots.
2. How can farmer tell if a plant is receiving enough water? Not enough water?
Too much water?
The plants grow very well and stay healthy if they received enough
water. If plants are given no water, or not enough water they will start go
Brown and go limp. This is known as shrivelling or wilting. Too much
water is bad for plants. The leaves of an over-watered plant generally
turn yellowish.

PRACTICAL : Basic needs of plants
Objectives : To determine the basic needs of plants : sunlight, air and water
Problem : Can Plants Live Without Air?
Aim : To investigate the basic need of plants : air
Tools/Apparatus :
Two plastic cups, water, oil, cotton, bean seeds
Procedure.
1. Two cups are filled with water.
2. On one place a cotton pad on top and some beans on the cotton. This will keep
the seeds moist.
3.The seeds are dropped in to the water of second cup thus eliminating the air and
some oil was putted on the top of the water.
4. The temperature and light for both cups are keep the same.
12
Results :
Observation Inferences
Cup “1” Seed grow wellPlants need air to grow
well
Cup “2” Seed not growingPlants need air to grow
well
Conclusion : Plants needs air for respiration
Appendices:
Picture 10 : Day 3 (covered with oil) Picture 11 : Day 3 ( not covered with oil)
13
Picture 12 : Day 7 (covered with oil) Picture 13 : Day 7 ( not covered with oil)
Questions :
1. What other ways might air be eliminated from the cup?
Adding sodium chloride hydroxide.
2. Plants make their food but they do not need supply minerals. Choose three
minerals and describe what happens to plant growing without them.
Plants need minerals such as; nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium &
magnesium for a healthy growth.
3. Plants make their food but they do not supply of minerals. Choose three
minerals and describe what happen to plant growing without them.14
Their growth is stunted, the plants are weak, plant death could occur.
Potassium, nitrogen and phosphorus are neccesary for groth repair and
photosynthesis. Without these minerals the plant will not be able to
photosynthesize and eventually DIE!
4. Animals and plants need food. Give two reasons why animals and plants
need food.
Plants and animals need food in order to survive. The nutrients the food
gives off into the animal and plant keep its energy level up, and
maintains the animal or plant. Humans as well need food, for the same
reasons. That also goes for oxygen, water, and sunlight.
PRACTICAL 2: Observation of animals cell: Check cell and plant cell: Leaf
epidermis cell
15
Objectives: To prepare slides of animals cell and plant cell using the correct staining
technique
Aim: To investigate animals and plant cell
Tools/Apparatus:
Microscope, microscope slides, cover slip, dropper, forceps, blade, toothpick,
methylene blue, Iodine solution, Onion
Procedure A. Observation of check cell
1. Mouth is rinsed.
2. A thin layer of cell from the inside of check is gently scraped off using a
toothpick.
3. The scrapings are mounting in a drop of methylene blue solution on a slide.
4. The cover slip gently lowers over it.
5. The specimen is examined under low power objective lenses followed by high
power objective lenses.
6. The check cell is draw and the following parts is labelled: nucleus, chromatin
material, cell membrane and cytoplasm.
Result :
16
Picture 14 : Picture of cheek cell under the microscope
(Magnification: 10 x 4mm)
Picture 15: Picture of cheek cell under the microscope
(Magnification: 10 X 40mm)
Procedure B.
17
1. The epidermis layer of onion scale leaf is peel off using a forceps.
2. The epidermis layer was cut off a small piece and mount in a drop of iodine
solution on a slide.
3. Cover slip was gently lower over it.
4. The specimen was examined under low power objective lenses followed by
high power objective lenses.
5. The onion leaf epidermis cell was draw and the following parts were labelled:
nucleus, chromatin material, cell membrane, cytoplasm and vacuole.
Results :
Picture 16: Structure of onion leaf cell
(Magnification : 10x4mm)
18
Picture 17: Structure of onion cell
(Magnification: 10 X 40mm)
Conclusion: The plant cells of the onion are a regular shape and held together
by the cell wall. The animal cells are not bound to each other and independent.
Onion cells are living and the cheek cells are sloughed off remnants of the
epidermal lining of your mouth lining.
19
Questions:
1. Name the types of cell which lines inner cheek.
Epithelial cells
1. State the similarities and differences between animal cells and plat cells.
- Plant cells have a cell wall surrounding the cell membrane, and animal cells
only have a membrane.
- Plant cells contain chloroplasts which are used for photosynthesis.
- Plant cells have a large vacuole (it's like a fluid sack), compared to an
animal cell which has multiple vacuoles.
- Animal cells are 'blobby', but cells in plants are more structured due to the
cell wall, and form a lattice like structure which helps with rigidness.
2. Why the nucleus is called the ‘control centre’ of the cell?
The nucleus is like the brain of the cell.The other reason why nucleus is
called the control center is that- It has genetic material called DNA which
undergo different functions such as replication, transcription,
translation i.e. formation of different enzymes and proteins necessary
for the development of whole cell Another reason is that-the cell which
lac nucleus during abnormal cell division known to be dead cell.
3. What is tissue? What word means collections of tissue doing one particular
jobs?
Tissue is a collection of cells then, collections of tissue call muscles
