Biology Practical Book for Class 9th
Biology Practical Book for Class 9th Sindh Board Science Group According to New Examination Pattern. Practical Journal includes 20 different Practical Activities which are listed below:-
- To study different types of bacteria with the help of permanent slides. Also study of Amoeba, Paramecium and Volvox from slides / fresh cultures / charts.
- To study of external morphology of mustard plant and microscopic examination of root, stem, leaf, flower, fruit and seeds.
- Identification of major organs and organ system in a dissected frog (dissection by demonstrator / teacher).
- Observation of the apparent distinguish taxonomic characters from fresh and preserved specimen and recognition of plants and animals on the basis of their taxonomic characters.
- Examination under the microscope an animal cell (frog’s blood cells) and a plant cell (epidermal cells of onion) using an appropriate temporary staining technique, such as iodine or methylene blue.
- Identify from fresh preparations, (1) the cell membrane, nucleus and cytoplasm in an animal cell and (2) the cell wall, cell membrane, sap vacuole, cytoplasm, nucleus and chloroplast in a plant cell.
- Preparation of the wet/ mount tissue from the flowering plants or study of plant and animal tissues from charts / prepared slides.
- Data collection on the number of stomata per unit area on various plant leaves that grow in areas of differing humidity and compilation of data in a spread sheet and graph it to determine whether is a relationship between the variable.
- Observation of various stages of mitosis and meiosis by slides / models / charts.
- To test the enzyme action (how diastase (amylase) enzyme hydrolyse the starch into disaccharide).
- Demonstration of the process of photosynthesis using an aquatic plant, like Hydrilla.
- Investigation of the necessity of chlorophyll, light and carbon dioxide using appropriate controls. (a) Importance of chlorophyll in photosynthesis, (b) Necessity of light for photosynthesis and (c) CO2 is necessary for photosynthesis.
- Investigation of the release of carbon dioxide and heat during aerobic respiration in germinating seeds.
- Food tests: Benedict’s test for reducing sugar, iodine test for starch, spot and emulsion tests for fat and burette test for protein in solution.
- Microscopic examination of a transverse section of the small intestine to show Villi.
- Observation of root hairs on growing root of onion, carrot etc.
- Investigation of transpiration in potted plant under a bell jar.
- Investigation of path way of water in a cut stem, using a suitable stain.
- Identification of red and white blood corpuscles under the light microscope on prepared slides and in diagrams and photomicrograph.
- Experiment to show the capillary in a fish tail or in frog’s web.
