    • Introduction
    • Data
    • Bar Graph
    • Line Graph
    • Pie Graph
      Introduction Everyday we come across a lot of information in the form of numerical figures, tables and graphs. These are provided by newspapers, televisions, magazines and other means of communication. These may relate to cricket batting or bowling average, temperatures of different cities, etc. The graphs are prepared with the help of data. Data are collected through survey or other means. Then data are arranged in ascending or descending order using a table. In this chapter, we will study about graphs, how to make the graphs and how to extract information’s contained in by the graphs.   Data Collection of information’s in the form of numerical figures in a survey is called data. The initial data that observer collects himself is called raw data. To extract the information’s contained in by the data are arranged in ascending or descending order using tables. The raw data that have been arranged or organized by constructing a table are called grouped data. Data can be represented graphically to give dear idea of what it represent, it is easier to interpret and organise data using pictorial representation. Some of the ways data can be represented pictorially are:
    • Bar Graph
    • Line Graph
    • Pie Chart
      Bar Graph A bar graph is a chart that uses bars to show comparisons between categories of data. It is an another type of graph used for showing data or information in a quick way. The bars can be either vertical or horizontal. Bar graph with vertical bars are sometimes called vertical bar graphs.  
    • Example:
    Following bar graph represents the number of tickets sold by each class for a secondary school staged play to raise funds for its institution. Read the graph carefully and answer the following questions:  
  • How many more tickets are sold by class 10 than by class 8?
  • (a) 400                          (b) 450        (c) 500                          (d) 550 (e) None of these Answer: (b) Explanation: Number of tickets sold by class \[10=650\] Number of tickets sold by class \[8=200\] Difference \[=650200=450\] Therefore, 450 more tickets are sold by class 10 than class 8.  
  • By which two classes, the number of tickets are sold equally?
  • (a) Class 8 and class 10 (b) Class 6 and class 7 (c) Class 7 and class 8                 (d) Class 6 and class 9 (e) None of these Answer: (d) Explanation: By seeing bar graph, we find that the number of tickets sold by class 6 and class 9 are equal which is 450.

    PLANT LIFE     FUNDAMENTAL
    • Paddy, wheat and maize are monocot plants, belong to grass family.
    • Pea, gram and other pulses are dicot plants and belong to leguminous family.
    • Monocot plants have one cotyledon whereas dicot plants have two cotyledons in their seeds.
    • Gymnosperms are group of plants bear which naked seeds, e.g., Pinus, Cycas
    • Angiosperm plants are highly developed flowering plants, e.g., Mango, Neem.
    • Mushrooms are grown in dark places; it doesn't undergo photosynthesis rather it feeds on dead and decayed organic matter.
      Types of plant on basis of habitat
  • Terrestrial
  • Aquatic plant
  • Epiphytes (Air plants)
  • Marshy plant

    ANIMAL LIFE   FUNDAMENTAL
    • Habitat is the surrounding in which animal lives.
    • Animal has to adapt by undergoing changes in body structures so survive in changing environmental conditions and the habitat. These changes are called adaptation, which are slow and gradual and take place over a period of times.
    • Body coverings in different animals, help them in many ways
      Different Body Coverings and Their Functions
    Types of Plants on the basis of habitat
    A. Terrestrial Plants grow on the land e.g. mango, pine, coconut 1. Desert Plants: Leaves reduced into spine, swollen stem to store water, long roots etc. e.g. Cactus 2. Plants in hot and damp places remain evergreen and never shed leaves e.g. coconut, neem. 3. Plants of plains: They have branches and leaves shed leaves in autumn e.g. maple tree 4. Platns of hilly areas: Tall plants with lots of branches of flowers e.g. pine, cycas
    B. Aquatic Platns grow in water e.g. Lotus, vallisneria
    S. No. Animals Functions Body Coverings

    HUMAN BODY AND FOOD     FUNDAMENTAL             Human body is a complex machine, made up of different organs and organ systems,   HUMAN BODY:             Different organ systems perform a specified function of the body in co-ordination with each other.   RESPIRATORY SYSTEM:              It is concerned with carrying oxygen from air to the tissue level for functioning.   DIGESTIVE SYSTEM:              Breaks the complex food into smaller substances after digestion which can be used for producing energy.   NERVOUS SYSTEMS             It controls and co-ordinates different organ systems with input from sensory organs.   MUSCULAR SYSTEMS             Helps in movement.   CIRCULATORY SYSTEMS             Helps in transportation of nutrients and other substances.   EXECRATORY SYSTEMS             End products or toxic products removal from the body. SKELETAL SYSTEMS             Frame work of bones which gives support to the human body. Skeleton has 206 bones in adult.   SKULL: Skull consists of 28 bones which protects the brain. All bones of skull are immovable except the lower jaw which helps in eating and talking. In lower and upper jaw, we have teeth for cutting and chewing food.     RIB CAGE: It is formed by the vertebral column, ribs, and sternum and encloses the heart and lungs. In humans, the rib cage, also known as the thoracic cage, is a bony and cartilaginous structure which  surrounds the thoracic cavity and supports the pectoral girdle (shoulder girdle), forming a core portion of the human skeleton.   BACK BONES It protects the spinal cord. It is not a single bone but made up of 33 small bones, called vertebral column. Higher animal e.g., Tiger, Frog, etc. have back bone and called vertebrates. Whereas lower animal e.g., snails and earthworms do not have a backbones and are called invertebrates Thigh bone (Femur) is the largest bone of the body.   STAPES             Stapes is the smallest bone of the body which is found in ear.   JOINTS            The place where two bones meet is called a joint. Joint can be movable or immovable. Except the lower jaw all other skull bones are connected through immovable joint. Movable joints provide a wide variety of movement at the joint. There are four kinds of joints in our body.
    • Hinge joint: - These joints work like the hinge in the door. This kind of joint only allows back and forth movement in different directions. Bones in the knee, elbow, fingers and toes have these types of joints.
    • Pivot joint: - This type of joint is found between the first two vertebrae of our back bone. It more...

    SOIL ROCK AND MINERALS     FUNDAMENTAL Lithosphere of the earth is mainly made up of rocks and soils (natural resources).
    • Rocks are made up of grains called minerals. One or more than one minerals are present in one kind of rock.
    • Minerals can be seen or can't be seen with naked eyes. Minerals contains ores, from which metals and non-metals can be obtained profitably.
    • Rocks are formed
                (i) Inside the earth under very high temperature.             (ii) From mud and sand under high temperature and pressures.
    • There are three kinds of rocks.
                (i) Igneous                      (ii) Sedimentary                          (iii) Metamorphic   Comparison between different types of rocks
        Figure
    Igneous Rock Formed as a result of volcanic eruptions when magma reach the surface of the earth due to high pressure and gets solidified e.g., Basalt.  
    Sedimentary Rock Formed from materials swept into rivers, lakes and seas and deposited there. e. g. sandstone is formed from sand.  
    Metamorphic Rock more...
    AIR AND WATER     FUNDAMENTAL Air and Water
    • Atmosphere is the blanket of air that surrounds the earth.
    • Part of atmosphere nearest to the earth is troposphere layer, beyond troposphere is
    • Air is a mixture of gases containing 78% of nitrogen, 21% of oxygen and 1% of other gases including carbon dioxide. It also contains dust, smoke and water vapour.
      The Layers of the Atmosphere             
    • Air has weight; it occupies space and exerts pressure in all the directions.
    • Water is very important to all living things. The substances that make water unfit for consumption are called impurities. Harmful impurities of water have to be removed to make it fit for drinking.
    • Sedimentation, decantation and filtration are used for removing insoluble impurities of water. Distillation is used to remove soluble impurities, chlorine is added to kill germ and help to make the water safe for drinking
       

    WORK, FORCE AND ENERGY     FUNDAMENTAL FORCE A force is a push or pull. It can help us to do the work. It brings the change or tries to bring the change in the state of motion. Force may be of various types, e.g. mechanical, gravitation, magnetic, frictional, electric and buoyant force. WORK Whenever an applied force is capable to move an   object on which the force is applied, the work is done. No change in position means no work. Work is measured in joule, which means the object is displaced by one metre with one Newton Force. SIMPLE MACHINE             It is a tool that makes the work easy. For example
    • Lever
    • Pulley
    • Wheel and axle
    • Inclined plane
    • Screw
    • Wedge
      LEVER A lever is a simple machine. It is a rigid rod that turns around a fixed point called fulcrum. It consists of fulcrum (f), load (w) and effort.                        Levers classified into three kinds according to the position of fulcrum, load and effort.     Type of Lever
    1st Class Fulcrum between load and effort E.g. Scissors Claw-hammer
    2nd Class Load between fulcrum and effort E.g. Nutcraker Wheel barrow
    3rd Effort between load more...
    OUR UNIVERSE     FUNDAMENTAL
    • Universe is all of space and everything having stars, planets & galaxies etc.
    • Astronomy is branch of science that deals with the study of celestial bodies.
    • A star is luminous sphere of plasma held together by its own gravity, the nearest star to Earth is the Sun.
      SOLAR SYSTEM-SUN IS THE NEAREST STAR. Planet is a celestial body made up of rocks, metals and gases, which revolve around a star. Sun has 8 planets orbiting around it. OUTER PLANETS These are four planets in solar system which are very far from Sun. These are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.   INNER PLANETS             These are four inner planets which are closer to the sun. These are mercury, Venus, earth and mars.   SOLAR ECLIPSE This occurs when moon (which revolves around the earth) comes directly in between the earth and the sun and hides he sun partially or fully from the earth view. Solar eclipse can only happen during a new moon. Two to five solar eclipses occur in a year.   LUNAR ECLIPSE              It occurs when moon passes in the shadow of the earth. The moon may remain eclipsed for about an hour. MOON                          The moon is the only natural satellite of the earth,   so revolves around the earth. It does have any light of its own, it shines by reflected light of the sun. We see different part of the moon while it orbits around the earth. The changing shapes are called phases of the moon. There are five major phases of the moon. Moons gravitational pull is (1/6th) of the earth. So it is very difficult to walk on moon. As the moon has no air or wind the astronaut's foot prints will remain there forever. METEORS AND METEORITES A meteor is a bright streak of light in the sky (a "shooting star" or a "falling star") produced by the entry of a small meteoroid into the Earth's atmosphere. If you have a dark clear sky you will       probably see a few per hour on an average night; during one of the annual meteor showers you may see as many as 100/hour. Very bright meteors are known as fireballs. ASTEROID Asteroids are rocky worlds revolving around the sun that are too small to be called planets. They are also known as planetoids or minor planets. There are millions of asteroids, ranging in size from hundreds of miles to several feet across. In total, the mass of all the asteroids is less than that of Earth's more...

    MATTER AND MATERIAL     FUNDAMENTAL     Anything that has mass and occupies space is called matter. Amount of matter present in a body is called mass of the body. Volume is the amount of space which is occupied    by the body or an object.
    • Whole universe is made up of only two things matter and energy.
      Classification of Matter
    On physical basis Chemical basis
    1. Solid e.g. 1. Element\[\to \]sodium, potassium.
    2. Liquid and water 2. Compound\[\to \]water, CO2
    3. Gas-Hydrogen, oxygen 3. Mixture\[\to \]sugar solid, salt, solution
    Matters exist in three states-solids, liquids or gases.
    • Matter is made up of tiny particles called molecule.
    • In solids, attraction between molecules is very strong solids have fixed shape, size and volume.
    • In liquid the attraction between molecules is not very strong. Liquids don't have a fixed shape and can flow freely.
    • In gas, the attraction between molecules is very week so gas molecules move freely. They don't have a fixed shape or size and volume.
    • One form of matter can be changed to another form. Solid melts to form liquids change into gases.
    • When a solute is dissolved in a solvent a solution is formed
    • Water is one of the few known substances which expand when it freezes. Thus ice occupies more space than water.
    • The increase in size of the more...
