Biology Lesson Note On Irritability
Subject: Biology
Topic: Irritability
Class: SS1
Sex: Mixed
Aim of the Lesson: To help the learner understand the concept of irritability
Anticipated Problems: Because of advancement in class, most themes might be new to the
learners and might result to difficulty in understanding
Possible Solution: The teacher explains the concept in details using illustrations and real objects.
Content Objectives: By the end of the lesson, learners should be able to;
1. Define irritability
2. State the types of response
3. Give examples of tropic movement
Time Table fit/ previous knowledge: The learner learnt about growth in their previous lesson
Set Induction: The teacher asks the student to observe the object on the table.
TYPES OF RESPONSES
1. Taxis or Tactic movement: This is a directional type of response in which the whole
organism moves form one place to another in response to external stimuli e.g. light, temperature,
water e.t.c.
2. Nastism or Nastic movement: This is a type or response in which a part of a plant moves in
response to non-directional stimuli such as changes in light intensity, temperature and humidity
e.g. folding of leaflets of the mimosa plant when it is touched.
3. Tropism or the Tropic movement: Tropism is a type of response in which a part of a plant
moves in response to a directional stimulus. The direction of the response is related to that of the
stimulus. It may be positive if the plant part grows towards the stimulus and negative if the plant
grows away from the stimulus.
1. Phototropism (Light).
2. Geotropism (Gravity).
4.Thigmotropism (Touch)
5.Chemotropism (Chemical)
6.Thermotropism (Heat)
