thing. It gives a common name to a person, place, animal or thing of the same

class or kind. Examples: words like book, pen, pencil, boy, river, mountain, town,

village are common nouns.

PROPER NOUNS i. Nouns that name particular places, persons or objects are called proper nouns.

Chapter – 2 The River Valley Civilisations

(Part 1 Summary)

Dawn of Civilisation

The rise of cities in the Bronze Age ushered in the dawn of civilisation. City life requires

efficient administration, language and script, and forms of worship and cultural

expression. The sum total of such aspects of organised life in a society is called

civilisation.

The earliest civilisations developed along river valleys. This was because of the

following reasons.

The rivers provided an ample supply of water, which could support large settlements.

The lands near the rivers were fertile and various crops could be grown with ease. Rivers were important means of communication because long roads did not exist.

The first civilisations are hence called river valley civilisations. They developed

in Africa and Asia between 3500 BC and 2000 BC. Their sites are located in:

1. Mesopotamia in the valley of the river Tigris and Euphrates

2. Egypt in the valley of the river Nile.

3. Harappa and its surroundings in the valley of the river Indus.

4. China in the valley of the river Hwang-Ho.

MESOPOTAMIAN CIVILISATION

In ancient times, the land between the rivers Tigris and Euphrates, now in Iraq, was

known as Mesopotamia, meaning ‘land between rivers’. Mesopotamia included three regions – Sumer, Akkad and Assyria .Around 3000 BC, some of the towns of Sumer emerged as powerful city-states ( independent states each consisting of a city and the area

around it).Thus, Sumer became the seat of the earliest civilisation of the world.

SOURCE MATERIALS – The literary source materials include clay tablets bearing cuneiform script. The archaeological sources are the following.

Remains of buildings such as ziggurats, temples, administrative buildings,canals and reservoirs.

Inscriptions on a pillar bearing Hammurabi’s code of laws. Artefacts and other goods like bronze tools, weapons and vessels.

TOWN PLANNING A Sumerian city usually consisted of -

A sacred area A walled city An outer town

SOCIAL LIFE –

The king, the priests and the king’s officials formed the highest class in society. They lived in the sacred area. The king made the laws and was also the

chief priest.

The middle class, mainly landowners, craftsmen and merchants lived within the walled city.

The slaves formed the lowest class and lived in the outer town.

THE ZIGGURAT at Ur, now in ruins, once looked like this.

OCCUPATIONS – The Sumerians were mainly farmers. They were probably the first to grow wheat. To control the annual floods, they built dykes, dug wide canals and created

artificial reservoirs. They mastered skills such as metallurgy, pot making, cloth making

and glass making. The Sumerians were the world’s first traders. They were also the first to use wheeled transport. Carts on roads and rafts on canals were the chief modes of

transport.

RELIGION – The Sumerians were nature worshippers. The main temple of each city was built on top of a stepped pyramid called ziggurat. It was usually dedicated to the

patron god, representing a natural phenomenon. The Sumerians believed in life after

death. Things of daily use were buried with the dead.

SCRIPT – The Sumerians were the first to develop a script for keeping records. The letters were wedge shaped and hence the script is called cuneiform.

CUNEIFORM SCRIPT

DEVELOPMENTS IN MATHEMATICS AND ASTRONOMY –

The Sumerians counted using the sexagesimal system.It was a numeral system with 60 as its base. We still use this system for calculating time

.By observing the movements of the sun and the moon, the Sumerians calculated the length of the day. They divided the day into 24 hours and the sky into 12 parts

coinciding with the zodiac signs.

They devised a lunar calendar based on the movements of the moon. Their year fell just 11 days short of the solar year and provided fairly accurate

information about the seasons. This was important to the people as most of them

depended on agriculture.

BABYLONIAN CIVILISATION

A few centuries after the decline of the Sumerian civilisation, another great civilisation

arose in Mesopotamia. This was the Babylonian civilisation, covering both Sumer and

Akkad. It was in many ways a continuation of the Sumerian civilisation. Hammurabi was

one of the Babylon’s greatest rulers. He ruled from 1792 BC to 1750 BC. He is remembered for his code of laws. The laws covered every aspect of life, and punishments

were based on the principle of ‘tit for tat’. However, justice was in favour of the rich and the upper class.

A REPLICA OF HUMMARABI’S CODE

Answer the following questions

1. What is the meaning of the name ‘Mesopotamia’? Which regions did Mesopotamia include?

2. Why did early civilisations flourish in river valleys?

3. What led to the emergence of a civilisation in Sumer around 3000 BC?

4. How did the Sumerians control floods?

5. What were the chief modes of transport used by the Sumerians?

6. Mention two main features of Sumerian religious beliefs.

7. What was Hammurabi’s greatest contribution to world civilisation?

Fill ups

1 The Sumerians were probably the first to grow ________.

2. A ziggurat was built in honour of _______

Class 6 Science Worksheet-3 (Biology)

Topic: Cell

Cell is the basic structural and functional unit of all living beings. It was discovered by

Robert Hooke. M.SChleidon, Theodor, Schwinn and Rudolph Virchow gave cell theory.

Main points of this theory are:

1. All living beings are composed of cells.

2. Cell is the basic structural and functional unit of all living beings.

3. All cells come from the division of pre-existing cells.

Living organisms are divided into three types based on number of cells present in them:

1. Unicellular - made of single cell. Eg. bacteria, paramecium

2. Few celled- Eg. volvox, spyrogyra

3. Multi cellular - eg. Human beings and plants

CELL SIZE

Cells are very small in size. Can be seen under a microscope only. Smallest cell is

of bacteria. Largest cell is of ostrich's egg. In human body smallest cell is of RBC present

in blood and largest cell is of nerve cell.

CELL SHAPE

Cells vary greatly in shape:

1. Biconcave or circular - RBC are biconcave so that they can easily pass through the

blood capillaries and transport oxygen

2. Amoeboid-white blood cells have this shape so that they can squeeze through the

capillaries.

3. Long - nerve cells are long to conduct messages from receptor cells to brain.

4. Bean shaped-guard cells in stomata of plants, so that they can open and close to allow

entry and exit of water.

ANSWER THE FOLLOWING:

Q. 1 fill ups

1. ________ are the longest cells.

2. ________ is the example of unicellular organism.

3.________ have biconcave shape.

Q 2 Give reasons

1. WBC are amoeboid in shape.

2. Nerve cells are very long.

Q. 3 Answer in brief

1. Define cell

2. Give three points of cell theory

TOPIC- KNOWING OUR NUMBERS

ESTIMATION OR ROUNDING OFF

To round off a number to the nearest tens, we follow the given steps:-

1. Look at the digit at ones place of the given number.

2. If the digit at ones place is less than 5, then replace the ones digit by 0 and keep all

other digits of the number as they are.

3. If the digit at ones place is 5 or greater than 5, then increase the tens digit by 1 and

replace the ones digit by 0.

For example (i) 68=70

(ii) 534=530

For rounding off to nearest hundreds, we will see digit at tens place and to round off to nearest thousands place, we will see digit at hundred’s place and will follow the above mentioned steps.

for example: 4759 = 4800 (Nearest hundreds’) = 5000 (Nearest thousands)

Q 1 Round off each of the following numbers to their nearest tens:-

a) 77 = 80 b) 913 c) 12052 d) 999

Q2 Estimate each of the following to their nearest hundreds:-
