HOLIDAYS HOMEWORK Grade-VII Session 2015-16 Dear Parent Keeping in mind the emerging viewpoint in higher education and thorough understanding of today’s real life problems, an interdisciplinary approach is required and students who are regularly exposed to classroom conversations and assignments that tackle real-world problems in an interdisciplinary way engage in significant learning. The Holidays Homework has been designed with the same objective in mind. Please note that students should do the home assignments of all subjects in one scrap book only. Kindly ensure that the students do a presentable assignment as it will be assessed. Principal Note:  All the work should be hand written.  In case of any query, kindly contact the Class Teacher through E-mail. Grade – VII TOPIC: WEATHER, CLIMATE AND ADAPTATIONS (Interdisciplinary approach) ENGLISH: As the temperature rises, you are feeling uneasy and irritable. The blazing sun does not permit you to play outside for a long period of time. All you want is an escape to some place cool. At night, when you fall asleep, Mother Nature answers your prayer and whisks you off to a Faraway Land, where the climate is exactly the opposite of where you live. Write a short story in about 300 words centering around this Faraway Land, exploring the reasons why their climate is pleasant unlike yours. Give a suitable title to your story. GUIDELINES 1. Draw/Paste relevant pictures to make your story interesting. 2. Highlight how human beings’ irresponsible actions have resulted in drastic climatic changes and also suggest measures to preserve the planet. fgUnh 1- vki ,d izfrf"Br daiuh ds O;olk;h gSaA vkidh daiuh ds mRikn dh fcØh gsrq fuEu esa ls fdlh ,d ij foKkiu rS;kj dhft, & 1- BaMk&BaMk dwy&dwy ^talcum powder* fØdsVj ;k fQ+Ye txr dk lqij LVkj dks ysdj½ 2- xjeh Hkxk, nwj ^cknke rsy* 3- Ropk esa yk, fu[kkj] ^Qs;j Øhe* 4- 'kjhj dks j[ks ^Fresh Nature Deo’A 2- xzh"e@ 'khr@o"kkZ fuEu esa ls fdlh ,d _rq ds [kkuiku] os’kHkw"kk ij nknh ;k ukuh dk lk{kkRdkj yhft,A muds rFkk vkt ds le; esa D;k ifjorZu vk;k gSA og Hkh fyf[k,A ml _rq esa gksus okys jksxksa dh jksdFkke gsrq mudh jlksbZ ls rS;kj ?kjsyw uqL[kksa dks Hkh fyf[k,A lk{kh % nknh] vkt cgqr xehZ gSA nknh % gk¡ lk{kh lk{kh % nknh D;k vkids le; esa Hkh bruh xjeh gksrh Fkh vkSj rc rks ,-lh- vkSj dwyj Hkh ugha gksrs Fks rks vki D;k djrs Fks\ bl izdkj izR;sd ik= ds okD; ds 8&10 okD; fyf[k,A MATHEMATICS: a) b) i) ii) c) Survey an analysis of temperature patterns (minimum and maximum) across a town /city from (Jan – May 2015) i) Find the average of minimum and maximum temperature. ii) Find the range of minimum temperature iii) Plot a double bar graph for the maximum and minimum temperature for the month.
