LIVING AND NON-LIVING THINGS     FUNDAMENTALS
  •                      All living organisms have life e.g., human beings plants, animals Birds, insects.
  •                       The various characteristic of living things are as follows:
(i) They need food, air and water. (A boy eats ice cream, animals eat grass and flesh of other animals, birds eat grains and insects etc.) (ii) They can move, Human beings and animals move on their own, Plants cannot move but show movements. Example: Human beings, animals, plants. (iii) They can grow over a period of time. (Infants grows into adult, kitten grow to become a cat. (iv) They can breath            (v) They can reproduce (vi) They grow old and die.  
  •                          Both plant and trees are living things as they grow, breath and show movements.
  •                         Non- living things do not have life e.g., bed, pencil box, T.V. bottle etc.

Air and Water   Air and water are two very important things for our life. We can live for few days without food, but we cannot live for a moment without air.   Air Air is a mixture of gases. It is all around us. We can neither see it nor can touch it. Bid we can feel it's presence. You can understand this from one simple exercise. Take a balloon. Blow air into it. The size of balloon will increase. This shows that air causes the balloon to blow. Now take a pin and prick the balloon. All the air will come out and the balloon will fall flat.     Air makes the life possible on earth. Not only have human beings, even plants and animals also needed air to live.   Water Water is a liquid. It is colourless, tasteless, odourless and is very necessary for our life We need water for: (i) Drinking (ii) Cleaning (iii) Taking bath (iv) Various household works (v) Growing plants (vi) Our factories and industries and for many more purposes.   Sources of Water Rivers, lakes are the sources of pure water. Wells are the sources of ground water. Tap water that comes to our homes is collected from rivers but first purified in water plants and then supplied to us. Seas and oceans are the big water bodies. But we cannot use this water for drinking because water of seas and oceans is very salty. We should drink clean water. Because drinking unclean water may cause many diseases.

My Family and Relatives   We all live in a house with our father, mother, brother and sister. Our parents, brother and sister make our family.   Image result for family   A small family in which mother and father live with their children is known as a nuclear family. Again, in some families not only parents and children, but also their uncle, aunty their children along with grand parents live together. Such family is called a joint family. All the members of a family generally have common surname. Brother of our father is known as paternal uncle. Brother of our mother is known as maternal uncle. Our uncle's children are our cousins. Our family is our first teacher,                             A chart is given herewith to give you an idea of a family tree:    Related image Structure of family tree                                         If you count yourself, your mother, father, your sister and brother as a family, then other peoples shown in the diagram are your relatives. Every member of a family, whether it is a small one or a large joint family, has a very important role to play and needed by all the other members. Similarly a family has important role in the area in which it stays and other families depend on it. These families, when taken together, form a society. The members of a family have many things in common. They look similar, talk and behave in a similar way. Some members of a family are sometimes affectionately called by a short name, which is known as pet name or nick name. Some families follow certain practices which may not be followed by other families. Such practices are called customs of the family. Our family and relatives are the important part of our life. They help us in our physical and mental development.

Mental Aptitude   Introduction In mental aptitude, there are questions in which you have to think about the question in a logical way. The questions of mental aptitude may be based on numbering of alphabets, completing the patterns of drawings or shapes, finding the missing figures or finding the number patterns. There is a certain relationship between the things.   Given in the patterns. You can easily answer such type of questions by observing that relationship given in the questions.   Concept of Patterns In this chapter you will learn various patterns based on shape, size and number, patterns are particular arrangements.   Ascending Order Pattern It is the sequence of number from smaller to bigger. Let's see the following patterns of pencils shown below:     Here number of pencils in each consecutive figures is increased by a gap of 1. It's a forth counting from 1 to 6.                            Descending Order Pattern It is the sequence of numbers from bigger to smaller. Let's see the following patterns of pencils shown below:     Here, number of pencils in each consecutive figures is decreased by a gap of 1. It's a back counting from 6 to 1.   Pattern Based on Rotation Let us see another following patterns:     Here, each shape is rotated anti-clock wise direction in each next step. Or, we can say that each next figure is turned to its right.   Let's see another example:   H Here, in each figure, the shaded part is turned anti-clock wise by one step.   Number Series In the number series, numbers are arranged in a certain pattern. You have to find the missing number. See the following example:   Example: Find the missing number.   more...
