REENA, THE MAGICIAN

SECTION 1

One day, Reena was coming back home from school. On the way, she saw a magician.

There was a big crowd around him.

Magician: Now I’ll cover this glass of water with a red cloth and say the magic words …

Magician: Butter and mallow I’m a good fellow, Afternoon showers. Give me some …

Crowd (Man): Amazing!

Magician: Flowers!

Crowd (A boy): How did he do it?

Reena: Wow, what a wonderful trick!

Reena was thrilled. She looked inside her bag and found some coins.

She counted the coins – she had only ten rupees. She offered the money to the

magician.

Reena: Please take this and teach me how to change water into flowers.

Magician: Ten rupees is not enough for that. Why do you want to learn the trick?

Reena: My grandfather is sad. He never smiles. I’ll show him this trick. I’m sure the

flowers will make him smile.

Magician: All right, I’ll teach you.

Magician: Take a glass of water. Cover it with a piece of red cloth. Then close your eyes

and say …

Reena: I must write down the magic words or I’ll forget.

Reena: Butter and mallow I’m a good fellow, Afternoon showers Give me some

flowers!

Magician: Then pull the cloth away and shower the flowers on your grandfather. He will

laugh again.

Reena: Here’s ten rupees. Please take it.

Magician: Your grandfather’s smile will be my reward.

Reena: Oh, thank you very much.

SECTION 2

The next morning, Reena woke up very early. Her grandfather had already gone for a

walk. She stood at the door, waiting for him to come back. Next to her, was a glass of

water and a piece of red cloth. Her mother was puzzled. As the sun rose behind the trees,

Reena’s grandfather returned.

Reena: Dadu, Dadu! I’ve learnt a magic trick.

Dadu: What is it?

Reena’s Mother: Reena, what is the water for?

Reena: Butter and mallow I’m a good fellow, Afternoon showers Give me some

flowers!

Reena’s Mother: Reena, no! stop!

Reena opened her eyes and swung her arm with all her strength. Her

mother tried to stop her. In the confusion, water splashed everywhere.

There were no flowers – only water! Both Reena and her mother were

thoroughly wet. Reena’s grandfather, who had jumped away, started

laughing. Seeing him laugh, Reena and her mother started laughing too.

The magic had worked, but in a different way.

Reena: Dadu! You are laughing! Oh, I’m so happy!

WEATHER AND CLIMATE

Weather- Weather is defined as the condition in which the air temperature, air pressure, wind,

humidity and rainfall in the atmosphere changes at a given place and time.

Weather changes everyday. It may be hot and dry today but tomorrow it can be rainy and wet. The

weather conditions in the morning may be different from that in the evening.

In India we enjoy three seasons: -

Summer Season-

Rainy Season-

Winter Season-

Our lifestyle varies according to seasons. It influences what we eat, what we wear and even the type

of houses we live in. It also determines the crops that the farmers grow.

Different crops grown in different seasons:

What is a Climate? The weather conditions that prevail over a large area and for a long period of time is called a

climate.

Climatic Regions of the world

The climate of a place remains more or less the same, year after year. Different parts of the world

have different types of climate on the basis of the prevailing climatic conditions, the world can be

divided into seven major climatic

regions. They are-

1. Equatorial Zone

2. Subequatorial Zone

3. Tropical Zone

4. Subtropical Zone

5. Temperate Zone

6. Subpolar Zone

7. Polar Zone

CLASS -5 Science Worksheet – 7

L -1 PLANTS: INCREASING THE NUMBERS

Our life depends on nature. Plants are a major part of nature. Plants

give us food. Cereal, pulses, vegetables and fruits come from plants.

Sugar and oil too are obtained from plants. Plants provide us with

wood, fibre, rubber, gum, tea and coffee.

Plants supply us with life-giving oxygen. Plants help to bind the soil

together. Planting trees increases forest wealth and makes the

surroundings cool and fresh. Forests bring us rain. Life on earth

cannot exist without plants. We need more and more plants since we depend on them.

More plants would mean a continuous supply of plant products to our needs.

NEW PLANTS FROM SEEDS

Why does a plant produce so many seeds? They do so because most new plants grow

from seeds. Yet, all seeds do not grow into new plants. Some seeds are not fully grown

when they are separated from their parent plants. Some seeds are destroyed by strong

winds or heavy rain or are eaten by insects or birds. Some do not get the right soil or

enough air and water. Such seeds do not grow into new plants. Seeds that survive and get

favorable conditions for their growth grow into new plants.

Food for the baby plant is stored in the seed leaves. As long as the baby plant does not

grow green leaves, it depends on the food stored in the seed.

Seeds of some plants like grams, peas and beans have two seed leaves and are called

dicot seeds. Seeds of some plants like wheat, Maize and rice have one seed leaf and are

called monocot seeds.

SEED GERMINATION

The development of a seed into, seedling is called

germination.

DISPERSAL OF SEEDS

A plant produces so many seeds. Plants are fixed to the ground and cannot move from

one place to another. So, if all seeds fall and germinate near the mother plant, they would

not get enough sunlight, water and space to grow. Because of this, many seedlings would

not survive. Hence, there are some agents in nature to scatter the seeds. This process of

scattering of seeds or fruits away from their parent plant is called dispersal of seeds.

AGENTS OF DISPERSAL

Dispersal is carried out by wind, water, animals and by the explosion of fruit. These are

called agents of dispersal. The special structures of certain seeds and fruits help these

seeds in dispersal. Seeds of cotton, madar and hiptage are light and have hair or wing,

so they can be easily carried by the wind. The lotus fruit has a spongy part and the

coconut has a fibrous outer covering to enable them to float on water. Human beings

and animals eat fruits like cherries and mangoes and throw away their seeds. Some

seeds have hooks spines or stiff hair. They get stuck to the furry skin of animals,

feathers of birds, or even to our clothes and are carried away. Birds often swallow some

seeds which come out unchanged in their droppings. Some fruits like peas in a pod

burst open or explode when dry. The force of explosion helps to scatter the seeds.

NEW PLANTS FROM OTHER PARTS OF PLANTS

Besides growing from seeds, new plants also grow from certain other parts such as roots,

stem and leaves of the parent plant. Some plants like rose, sugarcane and hibiscus grow

from stem cuttings. Potato is a stem that grows underground and has

buds on it that can grow into a new plant. Onion and ginger are also underground stems

from which new plants grow. Sweet potatoes and carrot are examples of plants whose

roots can grow into the new plants. The leaves of plants like bryophyllum can grow into

new plants.

CROPS AND VEGETABLES

When a plant is grown in large quantities at a place for food, it is called a crop. Farmers

grow different crops in different seasons. Crops like wheat and grain grown from

November to April (winter) are called rabi crops. Crops grown from June to October

(summer) are called kharif crops. Rice, maize, jowar and bajra are kharif crops.

Vegetables like cabbage, cauliflower, radish, bean and pea grow during winter.

Vegetables like brinjal, pumpkin and gourd grow in summer.

Different plants not only grow in different climates and seasons but also require different

kinds of soil. Rice and jute grow in clayey soil which holds plenty of water. On the other

hand, jowar and bajra are grown in sandy soil. Cotton grows well in black soil. Tea plants

need moist soil and grow on the slopes of hilly areas. Coconut trees grow in coastal areas.

Maize grows well in the dry soil of the plains or hills. Onion and groundnut need well-

drained, sandy soil.

How do farmers grow good and healthy crops?

Plants need to be grown on a large scale to feed the entire population of a country. For a

good and healthy crop,

Farmer knows about the soil, climate and season for growing it.

They plough and prepare the soil.

They choose the healthy and ripe seeds for sowing.

They add manure or fertilizers to the soil. Manure is added to soil to

increase production. Fertilizers like urea, super phosphate, ammonium

sulphate and nitrate are also added to the soil. However, overuse of

chemical fert ilizers can be harmful for the soil as well as the crops.

They irrigate the soil.

Protection of crops

Farmers protect the crops against

Grazing animals like cows and goats. This is done by proper fencing.

Pests such as locusts, grasshoppers and caterpillars by using pesticides.

These are chemicals that are sprayed on standing crops. If sprayed

properly, they protect the crops from being destroyed by pests.

However, too much of pesticide can be harmful to our health.

Diseases

When the grains are ripe, the crops are harvested and stored. After harvesting, grains

need to be protected against moisture. They have to be kept safe from rats, moles, birds

squirrels and insects. So, they must be stored in airtight, sealed containers. Plants, like

other living things, need love and care. Under favorable conditions they grow well. A

good crop adds to the wealth of a country.
