2nd GRADE : EVS :Air and Water

Air

Air is all around us but we cannot  see it. We can feel the air when it moves.

Take a newspaper and fan your face with it .You will feel air moving across your face. Moving air is called wind. When air moves gently ,it is called breeze.

Very fast moving air is called Strom. On a windy day , you will find the branches of tree bending and dry leaves flying about.


 AIR  OCCUPIES  SPACE

A bag which has more sand looks bigger.  This is because the sand has taken up space inside the bag and made it bulge.

In the same way , air also takes up space. When you blow air into a balloon, the balloon becomes bigger. This shows that air occupies space.

WHAT IS AIR MADE UP OF ?

Air is made up of different gasses , water vapour and dust. It also has very small living things.

USES OF AIR

.  All living things need air    to live.
.   We fill air in balloons , football and cycle tyres.
.   We need air to fly kites and sail boats.


CLEAN AIR

Clean air does not have any colour or smell. Plants and animals need clean air to live. Clean air keeps us healthy.

Smoke from cars , buses and factories makes air dirty. The smoke from fireworks also makes air unclean.

Unclean air can make us sick. Its also harms animals and plants.

English Story :Gulliver In Lilliput

 Gulliver was a great sea lover. He lived in England with his wife and children. Although he was a physician, yet his love for the sea often led him to long sea voyages In the year 1712, during one such voyage, his ship named " The Antelope " was wrecked being caught in a violent storm. Gulliver , not seeing any fellow sailor around, had no choice but to move alone where the destiny would take him. Floating day and night on a broken piece  of the wrecked ship, he reached a lonely island. Exhausted with constant labour, he fell fast asleep. When Gulliver came out of his slumber, he was feeling quite hungry. To fetch himself with something to eat, he tried to get up but he couldn't. 'Oh Good! Why can't I move myself?' said Gulliver to himself. As he looked around, he discovered that he was fastened tightly with many fibre ropes from head to toe. Suddenly, he saw some mini creatures crawling on his legs and hands. Some of them even climbed his chest. Gullive...
