BIOLOGY LESSON NOTE ON IRRITABILITY

January 14, 2023

Subject: Biology

Topic: Irritability

Class: SS1

Sex: Mixed

Instructional Materials. Textbook, specimen, pictures, 

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.

Differentiation Method/Multiple Intelligence: The teacher uses different teaching technique


such as discussion, role playing, questioning and use of picture to ensure all the learner benefit
from the lesson.
IRRITABILITY
Irritability is the ability of a living organism to response to stimulus

CELL REACTION TO ITS ENVIRONMENT


All living things are capable of responding to internal and external stimuli. Plants and animals
are able to detect and respond to changes in their environment.

TYPES OF RESPONSES

There are different types of responses or movement.

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.

Examples of tropism or tropic movements are:

1. Phototropism (Light).

2. Geotropism (Gravity).

3.Hydrotropism (Response to water)

4.Thigmotropism (Touch)

5.Chemotropism (Chemical)

6.Thermotropism (Heat)

The instrument for measuring tropism in plants is called Klinostat

Assessment plan. The teacher uses the following to assess the learners

Class work

1. Define Irritability
2. List the types of response

Home work
Write note on positive and negative tropic movement

Multiple choice questions.

1. Tropic movement in response to touch is known as

A. Phototropism
B. Geotropism
C. Hydrotropism
D. Thigmotropism

2. Tropic movement in response to gravity is known as

A. Phototropism
B. Geotropism
C. Hydrotropism
D. Thigmotropism

3. Tropic movement in response to light is known as

A. Phototropism
B. Geotropism
C. Hydrotropism
D. Thigmotropism

Evaluation

1. Define irritability
2. State the types of response
3. Give examples of tropic movement

Glossary

Phototropism: response to light

Geotropism: response to gravity

Hydrotropism: Response to water

Conclusion: Irritability is the ability of a living organism to response to stimulus
