Activities

[Contributor - Kripa S]

1. Take a little soil. Break the clumps with your hand to powder it. Now take a glass tumbler, three quarters filled with water, and then add a handful of soil to it. Stir it well with a stick to dissolve the soil. Now let it stand undisturbed for some time. Observe the layers of soil and take notes.

2. Make a group of five students and discuss the uses of water in your daily life. Write down the uses. Classify the above uses of water in three

groups, uses in a house or family, for agricultural purposes and others.

3. Form groups of 4 to 5 students and discuss the following topics in each group. Prepare points and share. The topics to be discussed are :

a) What will happen if rainfall this year is less than last year?

b) What would happen if there was no rainfall for five years?

c) What could be the possible reasons for water scarcity in a particular place?

d) What problems can arise due to water scarcity in a particular place?

Lesson Plan version 1.1 activities

1. Ask the students to suggest some remedies for water scarcity.

2. Obtain specimens of soil from various places in your surroundingssuch as your own yard, a garden, hills, river banks, fields androcky ground. Note the differences in the specimens with respectto colour, feel, texture and the size of the particles.

3. Engage all the students in to a quiz competition to revisit all the topics of the chapter. Divide them into groups and ask about each natural resource

You may ask the class assistant to keep the scores
