Duration : 1 hour 30 minutes

Theme : Investigating Living Things.

Learning Area : Living things undergo life processes.

Learning Objectives : Understanding the life processes in plants

Learning Outcomes : At the end of the lesson, pupils should be able to:
(i) State that plants respond to stimuli.
(ii) Identify the part of plant that responds to water,
gravity, sunlight and touch.
