SCIENCE
The first step toward change is awareness. Let us work towards
creating self-awareness about WATER, its availability and its
conservation.
1. A lot of water can be saved by following a few simple habits like
keeping the tap closed while brushing teeth etc. List down at least 5
ways by which you can conserve water at home.
2. DO YOU KNOW!!!
Only1% of water on earth is available for our use. Observe the pie chart given alongside &
carefully analyse it in terms of the given questions.
 Do you think that we are making wise use of Nature’s gift to us?
 Will it be available in sufficient amount for our future generations?
 If we do not start using this precious natural resource carefully and wisely one day will
come when there will be less fresh water available for us.
Now, make a project on the topic- ‘Scarcity of Water’ with the help of the
hints given below:
 Importance of water & its availability status.

Reasons for scarcity of water. (geographical, population or natural)

Combating strategies used by the people of these areas.

Steps taken by the government to overcome the situation.

Measures which we should use to conserve water.
3. Write two slogans/ quotes related to save water. The best one will be displayed in school
washrooms/ tap area. (write them neatly on colored A 4 size sheets)
4. Collect two leaves for each of parallel venation and reticulate venation and take out veins from it.
Paste the veins in your scrapbook and label them. Follow the given procedure to get the skeleton of
the leaves of your choice.
 Gather few leaves.
 Place them in a vessel large enough to accommodate them.
 Add 3/4 cup of washing soda and 4 cups of water to thevessel of leaves. Heat the mixture for
about 15 minutes.
 When the water comes to a boil reduce the flame.
 The washing soda will crystallize on top.
 Gently remove your leaves from the vessel.
 Place leaves in shallow baking dish with cool water and use a small blunt brush to remove the
remaining pulp.
 You will be amazed to see the veins of the leaves.
