Name of the School : MMRHSS, Neeramankara Strength : 45
Name of the Subject : Biology Average age : 13
Name of the Unit : Circulatory Pathways Duration : 40 minutes
Name of the Lesson : Structure of Villus Date :13-08-2014

Curricular statement:
Develop factual, conceptual, procedural, meta cognitive knowledge , process skills and attitude on structure of villus through
lecture method, group discussion and evaluation by questioning in group work.

Content analysis:

New terms: Capillaries, villus, lactials, lymph vessels, vein, artery

Facts:
The small intestine helps in the absorption of nutrients.
The structure of intestine is very suitable for this purpose.
The inner side of small intestine forms many foldings.
These foldings provided with finger like projections.
These finger like projections are known as villus.
40-50 villi are seen within each square millimeter.
Villus helps in the absorption of nutrients in small intestine.
Concepts:

Minor concepts:
The small intestine helps in the absorption of nutrients.
The structure of intestine is very suitable for this purpose.
Major concepts:
Villus are the finger like projections seen in the small intestine helps in the absorption of nutrients.


Learning outcome in terms of specifications:

Enables the pupil to develop,
1. Factual knowledge on the structure and function of villus through,
A) Recalling the new terms like villus, artery, capillaries, lactials, lymph vessels etc.
B) Recognising different parts of villus.
C) Explain the structure of villus.
2. Conceptual knowledge about the structure of villus through,
a) Recalling the structure of villus.
b) Recognising the different parts of villus.
c) Eplain the function of villus.
3. Procedural knowledge on the structure of villus through,
a) Differentiating the different parts of villus.
4. Meta cognitive knowledge on the structure of villus through
a) Recognising the structure of villus.
5. Different process skills like
a) Observing the different parts of the villus.
b) Communicating through presenting the group work.
6. Scientific attitude towards the structure of villus
Pre requisites
Pupil knows that there are finger like projections in the small intestine helps in the absorption of nutrients.
Teachinng learning materials
Model of villus, picture of the internal structure of villus
Reference book
Text book of standard IX by SCERT in Kerala
Classroom interaction procedure Pupil response
Teacher makes a rappot with the students and teacher begins the
class by asking questions for checking the previous knowledge.
1) What is the peculiarity of small intestine?

2) Name the finger like projection seen in the inner side of
small intestine?

Pupil interacts with the teacher.
Small intestine is helps in the absorption of nutrients, and its
structure is very apt for this purpose.
Villus.


3) Which part is responsible for the absorption of nutrients in
the small intestine?

Activity 1
Teacher shows the model depicting the structure of villus and
asks the pupils to identify it. Also asks the pupils to write the
charecteristics you should notice in the model shown by the
teacher.
Consolidation
Villi are the finger like projections seen in the infoldings of
small intestine and helps in the absorption of nutrients. Its
number ranging from 40- 50 in each square millimeter. Villus
is the main part which helps in the absorption process of small
intestine.


Activity 2
Teacher show the chart with the picture of villus depicting its
internal structure and divide the pupil into groups and ask them to
write the internal parts you would see in the chart.
Consolidation
A small branch of the lymph vessel seen at the centre of
villus is called as lacteal. The arterioles present in the small
intestine will enter into the villus and divides into smaller
branches called capillaries. These are the main parts of we can
see inside the villus

Activity 3
Through group discussion teacher will interacts with students
about the function of villus and ask them to record the
informations regarding the function of villus generated through
the group discusssion. Teacher gives clue for this.

Villi.





The pupil idenified the model as villus and write the characters of
villus such as its shape Finger like, it is seen as the infoldings of
small intestine and are numerous in number.










Pupil writes capillaries, lacteal and lymph vessel are internal
parts seen in the picture of villus.












Hints
Which are the nutrients absorbed by the villus into the
blood?
Which are the nutrients absorbed into the lymph?
What is the function of blood capillaries and lacteals?
Pupils reads the findings and the teacher consolidated
the topic
Consolidation
The branches of lacteals are the lymph vessels and it helps
the absorption of fatty acids and glycerol. The blood vessels
help in the absorption of glucose and amino acids.The
absorption takes place through the process of diffusion,
osmosis and active transport.

Then the teacher concludes the lesson by explaining the
structure of villus through lecture method.


Glucose and amino acids

Fatty acids and glycerol
Absorb the nutrients and conduct it to the cells.



Review questions

1. What is villus?
2. What is the function of villus?
3. Which are the internal parts of villus?
4. What is the function of lacteals?

Follow up activity

Prepare a model of villus depicting its structure.
