In science, particularly biology, diagrams and drawings are a crucial component of communication. Keep in mind that it is neither a painting or a sketch! Instead, it is a precise illustration of what you see that you may use to interpret what you observed.
Observation of Living Things
Before collecting, observe the plant or animal in its natural environment.
• Determine the exact location: on the ground, beneath a boulder, on a tree trunk, or on branches.
• What kind of food does it eat?
•How does it interact with the surrounding environment and other animals?
• How many of that plant or animal species are there in that location?
Plant specimens placed on the bench and divided into:
seeds/stems/roots/leaves/fruits
•Transparent polythene bags can be used to store animal specimens.
Dead animals are placed in petri dishes.
Examine small creatures' exterior traits using a hand lens.
Providing the Findings From the Observations
• Organisms are observed, and significant characteristics such as color, firm or soft texture, and hairiness are noted.
Size is determined or measured.

it is necessary to draw some of the organisms.
•When creating a biological drawing, enlargement (magnification) is noticed.
• Indicate the magnification of the drawing.
For instance, how often is the drawing larger or smaller than the actual specimen? MG is the "length of drawing/length of specimen."

How does it engage with the environment and other animals?
• To depict all of an organism's traits, it could be necessary to create multiple drawings of it, like as
• The grasshopper's anterior view clearly displays all of its mouthparts, but not all of its limbs.
•A view from the side (lateral) reveals all the legs.
Organism Collection, Observation, and Recording
Recommend
Collection
• Using nets, bottles, and gloves, collect plants and animals from the surrounding area, close to the school, or inside the school compound.
• Arthropods, earthworms, and tiny vertebrates like lizards, chameleons, and rats are among the animals collected.
• Put items in plastic bags, and transport to the lab
• Ether kills stinging/poisonous insects
• Other creatures are seen in real time and then released into their natural habitats.
• Among the plant specimens gathered are leaves, blossoms, and complete plants.
• The following observations are made to demonstrate:
Plants have stalks, leaves, flowers, roots, and stems.
Animals have limbs, feathers, eyes, mouths, hard exterior coverings, hair, and other appendages.
The distinctions between plants and animals were gathered.
