Welcome back, kids, once again. Now, we saw that two ladies were fighting with each other for the shawl and they went into physical violence. Now, let’s see to Charnu, this maid says. Let’s see what she says to him.
She says, “Come here, you boy. What’s your name?” She asks for his name. He says, “Charnu Fatehsingh,” he says that. She asks, “Did you see her push me down. You are a witness. Remember how she pushed me down.”
Alright, kids, now he says, “Yes.” Now she says that you are going to be my witness, he hesitates and he says, yes and says, “I will. Yes, I will.”
Queen Tara’s maid asks Charnu whether he witnessed the incident of the other maid pushing her down, did he see that. Then the second maid gets up and pulls the shawl. They fight again. You can see that image that’s funny. But they fight, the second maid pulls the first one hair. “I won’t leave you and I won’t spare you.” And they are fighting, kids.
Here she says, the other one. “Why you!” she says to Charnu, “Why you! Did you see how hard she pulled at my hair? Look here, boy, you were a witness to that, an eye witness. Remember this woman’s uncouth behaviour, Charnu Fatehsingh.” Now, she says to Charnu, that you are going to be my witness and she throws away the shawl. Both the maids leave in huff. Anger right huff. He smiles and says, “I have kept the promise that my father gave to the wisdom seller. I stood witness to the quarrel between the queen’s maids but I did not participate.”
Right, now kids, Queen Roopa’s maid asks Charnu, whether he witnessed the incident of the other maid pulling her hair. But Charnu remembers the promise he made to his father that he will just witness the quarrel and not be part of it and he is very proud about it.
So, here now, scene three the king’s palace, what happens there, the maid goes to Queen Roopa. Now, Queen Roopa enters followed by the first maid. And now they talk, she says, “Your Highness, Queen Tara’s maid chose the same shawl that I had chosen for you. It was gorgeous you would have looked even more beautiful.” And now she adds, “Really, why didn’t you insist on buying it?“ The queen says, why didn’t you insist? “I did but the maid was rude and grabbed it from my hands and even pulled my hair.” She is complaining, kids. Queen Roopa’s maid narrates the entire incident that took place in the bazaar to Queen Roopa. Now, she listens to everything and she says, “We shall complain to the King. Was there any witness?” What is a witness, kids? A person, who sees an event or is a proof of the event taking place, okay, so if you see something an event you are witness to it. Okay, if you see two kids fighting and you look at them, you are a witness that something went wrong there, exactly. Now, “Yes, a boy called Charnu Fatehsingh. We do have a witness Charnu Fatehsingh.” Now, Queen Roopa gets angry over the entire incident and wants to complain about it to the King. She asks the maid who witnessed the scene. The maid names Charnu Fatehsingh as the witness. The queen says, “Send for the boy and tell him that if he doesn’t speak in our favour, he shall be sent to the gallows.” Okay, gallows – a structure for hanging criminals. Hanging means he will be killed. That is what she says. She says, “Yes, your highness.” She agrees to that.
Both exit. Enter Queen Taro followed by the second maid. Now both of them exit and now Queen Taro enters along with the maid.

Hello, students, today we are going to learn about the sun, the earth and the moon.
Students, from the earth the sun is the nearest star whereas the moon is the nearest celestial body. Students, celestial body means natural objects visible in the sky. Even, students, many of the biotic and abiotic processes on the earth are influenced by these two celestial bodies. Students, biotic mean living things whereas abiotic means non-living things. Students, our life depends on the energy we get from the sun therefore sunlight is a visible manifestation of solar energy. Here, manifestation means an object that clearly shows.
Students, at night when the sun is not there in the sky, the moon reflects the sun’s light on the earth that is what we call moonlight. And, students, the moon is the only satellite of the earth. Satellite means celestial body orbiting the earth or another planet.
Students, let us learn now about the motions of the moon. The moon, while spinning around its axis revolves around the earth. This means that like the earth, the moon also have two motions namely the axial motion and orbital motion. Students, axial motion means rotary motion of an object around its own axis whereas orbital motion means motion of an object in an orbit around a fixed point. Students, the earth also spins around its axis and revolves around the sun. As a result, though the moon does not revolve around the sun independently, it indirectly keeps revolving around the sun. And, students, the moon’s axial motion is quite slow as compared to that of the earth. The earth completes its rotation within one day whereas the moon takes 27 and half days to complete its rotation. However, in almost the same period it completes its revolution around the earth. As the axial and the orbital motion of the moon are the same, you know, students, only one side of the moon always remains towards the earth and hence, the other side never becomes visible from the earth.
Students, as the moon revolves around the earth, the earth is also revolving around the sun. Hence, during a period of 27 and half days, the earth moves ahead along its orbital path. Therefore, the moon has to travel more distance to complete its revolution around the earth. And one revolution of the moon around the earth takes 29 and half days. Students, the moon’s orbital around the earth is elliptical in shape. Therefore, its distance from the earth is not the same. Position, when the moon is along the orbit farthest….

Hello, students, today we are going to start with the new chapter of science that is Food and Nutrition.
Now, living things need food to survive. Some living things can make their own food. They are called as Autotrophs. Auto it means self, trophs it means nutrition. It means autotroph means the one who can make their own food. Now, animals cannot make their own food because they lack chlorophyll. They have to depend upon other living things such plants or animals for their food. Hence, animals are called as heterotrophs. Hetero it means other, trophs means nutrition. So, students, heterotrophs are animals which depend on other animals for their nutrition. Now, some plants like the dodder and the funguses are heterotrophic too. Now, dodder, it is nothing but it is a parasitic plant. It lives on other plants and obtains the nutrients from it. Funguses, these are the plants which grow on dead decaying matter and obtain the nutrients from them.
All living things students, need food for growth and to repair the wear and tear of their bodies. Now, what is wear and tear? Wear and tear, it means damage. Carbohydrates, Proteinaceous substances. Proteinaceous substances it means the substance which contains proteins like milk, meat, eggs, they are proteinaceous substance. Next, fatty substances, fatty substances they are the substances which contain fats like cheese, butter, ghee etc. So, students, carbohydrates, proteinaceous substances, fatty substances and also minerals and vitamins, they are present in the items of our daily diet. Now, minerals like calcium, potassium, magnesium etc. Vitamins like A, B, C, D, E and K. Now, these are the various items in our foods such as rice, then we have bhakaris, chapattis etc. Now these, that is rice, bhakaris, chapattis they are all starchy foods. Now, starchy food is nothing but it is a type of carbohydrates, students. So, carbohydrates form a major part of these foods. Now, we also have protein foods such as dals, now dals, in dals we have different types the first one is tur also called as arhar, the next one is udad that is black gram, next we have moong that is green gram and masoor that is lentils. Now, protein foods it also include pulses. In pulses, students we have chana that is Bengal gram, the next pulse is rajma also called as red kidney beans, the next one is matki commonly called as moth beans, the next one is chavali that is black eye beans. Now, let’s see other protein foods. In that we have fish and meat. So, these are all your protein rich foods that is dals, pulses, fish and meat.
Now, let us study the second thing that is, we get salts and vitamins from food items like cucumber, leafy vegetables and carrots. We get fats from oil, ghee and butter and we have many more. Now, students, for good nourishment, it is important that carbohydrates, proteins, fats as well as minerals and vitamins are provided in the proper proportion. So, your diet should include everything that is carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals and vitamins.
Now, we get energy from carbohydrates, proteins as well as from fats. Vitamins they are necessary for ensuring that all the life processes are carried out smoothly. And while the elements such as salts they are necessary for bringing about the functions of enzymes, students. So, here we have completed your carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals which are which are essential in your diet, students. So, students….

Welcome back, kids, this is Ranjeet sir once again with you. In the first module, I introduced the pitcher plant to you. And now let’s go to the second module and know more about that plant.
The pitcher or the jug has a lid, they also have a lid. You see that on top. Exactly, that’s how our jug looks like. Haven’t you seen that in hotels? They have lid on top of that. Even this plant has it. Here you see that in the picture, right kids. The lid usually has attractive colours and there is a sweet smelling liquid inside the pitcher. There is sweet smelling liquid inside the pitcher. Both these are useful in attracting the insects. Both of them attract the insects, on top the colour and inside the smell that attracts the insects. Kids, these pitchers or jug like structures have a top covering which is of different colours. We call it as lid, top covering. Also, there is sweet smelling liquid inside each pitcher. The different colours and the sweet smell is used to attract the food of the plant, that is, insects and flies. So, insects and the flies are the food of that plant. And the smell and the colour of lid, it attracts the insects, their food. The edge or the rim of the pitcher is slippery. When an insect, attracted by the lid or the sweet smell, settles on the edge, it slides into pitcher, oh dear. The pitcher has stiff hair inside, pointing downwards which prevent the insect from coming out. The insect then drowns into the liquid and get digested. You see the interior part of the pitcher, kids. Yes, there is a hair like structure. So, when the insect slips inside it, it is difficult for it to come out. And it keeps going down into the liquid and there it gets digested. Kids, the border of the pitcher is slippery, very slippery, so when an insect sits on it, it slips into the pitcher. The pitcher has stiff hair pointing downward which does not allow the insect to come out and it gets digested inside the pitcher. Oh, wow isn’t it interesting, kids, that’s really interesting.
Another carnivorous plant is a Venus flytrap. It is found in North and South of Carolina in the United States. North Carolina, South Carolina, that’s where it is found. It grows best in damp atmosphere but needs sunshine. It grows to about 1 foot, quite big. Now, kids, Venus flytrap is another example of a carnivorous plant. The name is Venus flytrap. It needs sunshine but also grows well in a wet atmosphere, where it is wet. Mainly it is found in North Carolina and South Carolina. It grows till one foot, kids. That is how it looks, yes. The Venus flytrap uses its leaves to catch its prey. The open leaves of the plant appear just like an open book. You can see that in the image, can you see there, yes kids. There are hair in the middle of each leaf and they are very sensitive to touch. You see this hair on top, yes, there are hair and they are very sensitive to touch. Explanation, kids, the plant catches it prey with its leaves. The leaves open like a book and have sensitive hair in the middle of the each leaf. When a fly or an insect comes and settles on one of the sensitive hair, the two leaves snap shut. Sensitive, kids, quick to respond, they respond immediately. Snap shut, kids, suddenly shut, right, that’s interesting. The insect is now trapped inside. Trapped – caught inside, kids. The plant

Hi, kids, we are going to do chapter number 19, India: Cities and Development. Here we go.
What is a city? A city is a large and densely populated urban area. Let us learn about the factors which lead to the transformation of settlements into cities. Man began to settle in places where conditions for living were favourable. What do you mean by favourable? Favourable is convenient. Along with the development in the agriculture small settlements grew into large ones. So, you see here a small settlement which have today grown into large cities.
So, let us find out exactly what happens in the cities? Industries based on supporting agriculture started to develop here. For example, the sugar industry which is based on sugarcane. People from the nearby areas or what we call as, neighbouring areas started migrating to these places. Now, what is migrating? Migrating is moving from one place to another. So, people from the neighbouring areas started migrating to these places. Let us find out why, on account of the agricultural, and second, on account of the industrial development. The population of the original settlement grows. Oh my god, you can see so many number of people there. Along with this other services also developed like roads, hospitals, transports, communications, administrative offices, shops, hotels, banks, markets and so many more.
All the settlements do not necessarily develop into big cities. The functions which gives rise to a city does not remain the same till the end. It changes with the passing of time.
A city is formed for different reasons such as religious, historical, commercial, commercial means business purpose, trade purpose, educational etc.
Let us learn some of the cities in India according to their distinguishing features.
