Explanation: About the poet

Ogden Nash (1902-1971) was an American poet known for writing light, comic verse. He wrote over 500

comic poems. From a young age, he loved to rhyme and would often make up or adapt words if he could

not find one that rhymed.

Explanation: About the poem

Isabel met an enormous bear,

Isabel, Isabel, didn't care;

The bear was hungry, the bear was ravenous,(very hungry)

The bear's big mouth was cruel and cavernous.(a large, dark, cave-like space)

The bear said, Isabel, glad to meet you,

How do, Isabel, now I'll eat you!

Isabel, Isabel, didn't worry.

Isabel didn't scream or scurry.(rush)

She washed her hands and she straightened her hair up,

Then Isabel quietly ate the bear up.

In the above lines, it says, that the girl comes across a huge bear with a big mouth. The bear was very

hungry, cruel and a flesh-eating animal. The bear wanted to eat Isabel, whereas Isabel did not get frightened

of it. Instead, she eats the bear, without creating any sort of noise like screaming or rushing from there.

Once in a night as black as pitch

Isabel met a wicked old witch.

the witch's face was cross and wrinkled,(crumpled)

The witch's gums with teeth were sprinkled.(irregularly dispersed; randomly)

Ho, ho, Isabel! the old witch crowed,

I'll turn you into an ugly toad!

Isabel, Isabel, didn't worry,

Isabel didn't scream or scurry,

She showed no rage(anger) and she showed no rancour, (resentment)

But she turned the witch into milk and drank her.

Next, Isabel meets a witch in the middle of the darkness, the witch’s face was scary with wrinkles. Her gums

with teeth were scattered. The witch shouted with delight that she will curse the little girl and turn her into

a toad. Again, Isabel was not scared instead, she turned the witch into milk and drank her up.

Isabel met a hideous giant,

Isabel continued self- reliant.(able to reply on and look after oneself)

The giant was hairy, the giant was horrid,(nasty)

He had one eye in the middle of his forehead.

Good morning, Isabel, the giant said,

I'll grind your bones to make my bread.

Isabel, Isabel, didn't worry,

Isabel didn't scream or scurry.

She nibbled(chewed) the zwieback(a toasted, crisp bread) that she always fed off,

And when it was gone, she cut the giant's head off.

Next, she comes across a very ugly giant. Isabel remained self-sufficient. The giant was hairy, horrible and

had one eye in the middle of his forehead. The giant told Isabel that he will grind her bones to make bread.

The giant wanted to eat her up for dinner. Isabel did not get scared instead, she made small pieces of that

toasted bread and ate it. After she finished eating the bread, she cut the giants head and moved further.

Isabel met a troublesome doctor,

He punched and he poked till he really shocked her.

The doctor's talk was of coughs and chills

Page 2: ST XAVIER’S SCHOOLS - CHANDIGARH, PANCHKULA ......ST XAVIER’S SCHOOLS - CHANDIGARH, PANCHKULA, MOHALI, ZIRAKPUR CLASS VII SUBJECT : ENGLISH WORKSHEET-14 Adventures of Isabel (Poem)

And the doctor's satchel(shoulder bag) bulged(swollen) with pills.

The doctor said unto Isabel,

Swallow this, it will make you well.

Isabel, Isabel, didn't worry,

Isabel didn't scream or scurry.

She took those pills from the pill concocter, (to prepare or make by combining ingredients)

And Isabel calmly cured the doctor.

In the end, Isabel comes across a doctor. The doctor himself was troubled. He punched and pocked himself

to make Isabel frightened. The doctor was suffering from coughs and chill and carried pills in his bag. He

offered some pills to Isabel to swallow. Isabel did not get scared even after seeing the medications and

treatments. She was completely alright and did not suffer from any kind of illness.

The doctor who himself suffered from different ailments, mixed different ingredients to make the pills.

Isabel took the pills from the doctor and treated him with her attitude.

CLASS VII SUBJECT : MATHEMATICS WORKSHEET-14

DEFINITON

COST PRICE

The price at which an article is purchased by a dealer is called its cost price.

SELLING PRICE

The price at which an article is sold by a dealer is called its selling price.

PROFIT

If the selling price of an article is more than its cost price, then the dealer makes a profit.

Profit = selling price – cost price

LOSS

If the selling price of an article is less than its cost price, then the dealer suffers a loss.

Loss = cost price – selling price

PROFIT OR LOSS PERCENTAGE

Often in business, instead of talking about what actual profit or loss is, we have to find out the profit or

loss percentage.

Profit or loss percentage is always calculated on the cost price.

Profit percentage = ( 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑓𝑖𝑡

𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 × 100 )%

Loss percentage = ( 𝑙𝑜𝑠𝑠

𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 × 100 )%

Example 1: Tell what is profit or loss in the following transactions. Also find profit percent or loss percent:

(i) Gardening shears bought for Rs. 250 and sold for Rs. 325.

Solution: C.P. = Rs. 250

S.P. = Rs. 325

Here S.P. is greater than C.P.

So it is a profit.

P = S.P. – C.P. = 325 – 250 = 75

P% =( 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑓𝑖𝑡

𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 × 100 )%

=( 75

250 × 100 )%

= 30%

Example 2: Rajinder bought one almirah for Rs 4800 and the other for Rs 3640.He sold the at a gain of

131

3% and the other at loss of 15%.how much did he gain or lose in the whole deal?

Solution: case I: C.P.=Rs 4800

Gain% = 131

3%

So ,gain = 131

3% of C.P

40

3 ×

1

100 × 4800

=Rs 640

⸫Gain =Rs 640

Case II:C.P.=Rs 3640

Loss % = 15%

So loss = 15% of C.P.

Page 12: ST XAVIER’S SCHOOLS - CHANDIGARH, PANCHKULA ......ST XAVIER’S SCHOOLS - CHANDIGARH, PANCHKULA, MOHALI, ZIRAKPUR CLASS VII SUBJECT : ENGLISH WORKSHEET-14 Adventures of Isabel (Poem)

=15

100 × 3640

=546

⸫ Loss = Rs 546

here, gain > loss

Difference = 640 – 546

= 94

⸫ The whole deal is in profit by Rs 94

Example 3: The cost of a flower vase is Rs 120 .If the shopkeeper sells it at loss of 10% , find the price at

which it was sold .

Solution: C.P. = Rs 120

Loss% = 10%

Loss = 10% of C.P.

= 10

100 × 120

=12

So, loss = Rs 12

⸫ S.P. = C.P. – Loss

=120 – 12

=108

S.P. = Rs 108

Example 4: A shopkeeper sells an article at Rs 300, thus earning a profit of 20 %. Find the cost price of

the article.

Solution: S.P. = Rs 300

Profit % = 20 %

Let the C.P. be x

Now , profit = 20% of C.P.

=20

100 × 𝑥

=1

5𝑥

S.P. = C.P. + PROFIT

300 = x + 1

5𝑥 Total Number of good apple = 42

300 = 5𝑥 +𝑥

5

300 = 6𝑥

5

300 ×5

6= 𝑥

250 = x

⸫ cost price of the article = Rs 250

Example 5: By selling a fan for Rs. 810, a dealer makes a profit of Rs 60. What is the cost of the fan?

what is his profit percent?

Solution: S.P. = Rs 810

Profit = Rs 60

So, C.P.= S.P. – Profit

= 810 – 60

= 750

Profit % = 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑓𝑖𝑡

𝐶𝑃 × 100 %

= 60

750 × 100%

= 8%

CLASS VII SUBJECT : GEOGRAPHY WORKSHEET-14

CHAPTER -1 REPRESENTATION OF GEOGRAPHICAL FEATURES

Topographical maps are large scale multipurpose maps representing information regarding physical and

cultural features.

These not only show elevations, relief, drainage and vegetation but also man - made features like roads,

railways settlements etc.

Colours, scale, conventional signs etc. are some important elements of a toposheet.

COLOURS

Colours are used to show various features and each colour used on a map has significance. Blue, red, yellow,

brown and green are the prominent colours used in toposheets.

BLUE: Water features or water bodies that contain water are shown in blue. A light blue colour shows a

lesser depth whereas dark blue colour shows deeper areas. Even the means of irrigation like wells, tanks

etc. are also shown by blue colour.

RED: All types of settlements are shown in red colour along with other details like roads, huts, temples,

etc. Basically there are three types of settlements, i.e., nucleated, dispersed and linear.

YELLOW: Although a toposheet provide no direct information about the occupation of the people yet an

inference can be drawn from the various colour used. For example, if large part of map is covered by the

yellow wash this indicates cultivable land. Even various symbols have been internationally accepted to

represent palms, grass, bamboos, conifers and deciduous trees.

BROWN: Brown colour is used to represent contour lines. Contour lines are imaginary lines joining places

having the same height.

GREEN: Green colour represents vegetation, forested area, orchards, trees and scrubs. If large part of the

toposheet is covered by green colour, this indicates lumbering or animal rearing may be the main occupation

of the people.

Page 14: ST XAVIER’S SCHOOLS - CHANDIGARH, PANCHKULA ......ST XAVIER’S SCHOOLS - CHANDIGARH, PANCHKULA, MOHALI, ZIRAKPUR CLASS VII SUBJECT : ENGLISH WORKSHEET-14 Adventures of Isabel (Poem)

Contour makes it possible to represent the height of mountains and steepness of slopes.

SCALE:

We all know maps are reductions. Maps cannot show things as they are in real life so a scale is used to

define the features. Scale is the ratio between a distance measured on a map and the corresponding distance

on the Earth.

REPRESENTATION OF MAP SCALES:

Map scales are represented in two forms:

1. Linear scale: This is the easiest method of describing a map scale. It is usually written on maps as

1 cm to 10 km or 1 inch to 50 miles.

The value on the left - hand side of the statement always indicates the map distance.

2. Representative Fraction: In this method the map scale is expressed as a numeric ratio. The

numerator represents the map distance and it is always expressed as a unity. The denominator

represents the corresponding ground distance, i.e. , one unit on the map is equivalent to a number of

units on the ground.

R.F = Distance on the map

Distance on the ground

Both the numerator and the denominator are expressed in the same unit of measurement and therefore it is

a dimensionless fraction.

DISTANCE MEASUREMENT:

The distance between two places on a map is related with distance between the same places on the ground.

These are called map distance and ground distance respectively.

(a) Measurement of Direct ( Straight) distances :

The measurement of straight line features like roads, railway lines etc. is simple.

Steps:

(i) Mark two points on the map between which the distance is to be measured.

(ii) Measure the distance with the help of a divider or a piece of paper between the given points

on the map.

(iii) Now place the divider or strip of paper on the linear scale drawn on the map. This will

directly give the distance on the ground between the two points.

EXERCISES

A. Answer the following questions in brief:

1. What are topographical maps?

2. Name the important elements of a topographical map.

3. What is significance of blue colour in a toposheet?

4. Name any two features which are shown in red on toposheet.

5. Name any two colours which help us to infer about the occupation of the people on a toposheet.

6. Define contour line.

7. Define scale.

B. Answer the following questions in detail:

1. Analyse the significance of various colours used in toposheets.

2. Explain the various types of scales used in toposheets.

C. Fill in the blanks with correct word \ words:

1. ______ colour shows a water body with lesser depth.

2. If a large part of toposheet is covered by the yellow wash that indicates ______.

3. ______ colour is used to represent contour lines.

4. All types of settlements are shown in _______ colour.

Answer Key of Worksheet 13 (History)

Exercise:

1) Fill in the blanks:

a) Muhammad Ghori defeated Prithviraj Chauhan III at Tarain in 1192.

2) Short questions:

a) Why did Mahmud of Ghazni raid India? How many times did he raid India?

Ans) In the eleventh century AD, most of the rulers in North India were weak. Taking advantage of this,

Sultan Mahmud, who ruled Ghazni from AD 998 to 1030, invaded India. Between 1000 and 1027, he raided

India 17 times.

b) Name the five dynasties of the Delhi Sultanate.

Ans) Between 1206 and 1526, the Delhi Sultanate had five dynasties- the Slave, Khalji and Tugluq dynasties

of Turkish origin, and the Sayyid and Lodi Dynasties of Afghan origin.

c) Why was Delhi established as a capital city by the sultans?

Ans) Dhillika(Delhi) was possibly built by the Tomars around the year 736. Under the Tomars and the

Chauhans, Delhi grew into a very important administrative centre in North India. Because of Delhi’s

strategic location, most of the sultans established Delhi as their capital city.

3) Long Questions:

a) Explain how the Delhi Sultanate was stabilized by the following rulers:

i) Iltutmish ii) Balban

Ans) ILTUTMISH: Qutb-ud-din Aibak’s son-in-law Iltutmish ascended the throne in 1211. Iltutmish

stabilized the Delhi Sultanate. He either crushed his rivals or won them over with land grants. He also

suppressed rebellions. In 1221, Iltutmish refused shelter to the ruler of Iran, who had been ousted by the

Mongol chief Chengiz Khan. This wise move saved India from a Mongol attack. Iltutmish organized a group

of powerful Turkish nobles, called Chalisa(The Forty), to overcome his enemies. He introduced an efficient

system for collecting land revenue and reorganized the currency of the Sultanate. He completed the

construction of the Qutb Minar. He alsobuilt a mosque at Badaun and his own tomb of red sandstone at

Delhi.

BALBAN: After several weak rulers, Ghiyas-ud-din Balban, a powerful member of the Chalisa, became

Sultan in 1266. Balban crushed the Chalisa and displayed his power by introducing strict discipline in his

court. He introduced the Persian custom of zaminbos that is, lying flat n one’s face before the emperor to

show respect. Balban restored law and order, reorganized the army and maintained an efficient spy system.

He suppressed a revolt in Bengal and fortified his frontiers to guard against Mongol attacks.

CLASS VII SUBJECT : CHEMISTRY WORKSHEET-14

Topic: Matter and its Composition

Matter: Anything that occupies space and has mass is called matter.

Everything around us like book, table, chair, the food we eat constitute matter because they all occupy

space and has mass.

Volume: The space anything occupies is called its volume.

Mass: The amount of matter anything contains is called mass

States of matter

Page 16: ST XAVIER’S SCHOOLS - CHANDIGARH, PANCHKULA ......ST XAVIER’S SCHOOLS - CHANDIGARH, PANCHKULA, MOHALI, ZIRAKPUR CLASS VII SUBJECT : ENGLISH WORKSHEET-14 Adventures of Isabel (Poem)

You know that, when heated, a cube of ice melts into water and water evaporates into water vapour. On

being cooled, the water vapour changes into water which ultimately changes into ice.

Ice , water vapour and water are all forms of water but in different states .Ice is the solid form, water is the

liquid form and vapour is the gaseous form.

So there are three states of matter. Solid, liquid and gas.

What causes the difference in states of matter? Matter is not continuous but it is made up of small particles called molecules. There are some spaces in

these molecules called the intermolecular space. The molecules are held together by a force called

intermolecular force of attraction or cohesion. Greater

the intermolecular space lesser is the cohesion.

With the help of these facts we can explain the properties of solids, liquids and gases

Shape and Volume:

Solids have fixed shape and fixed volume and are generally hard. This is because the molecules are so

tightly held that they cannot move close or away from their position.

A liquid has a fixed volume but no fixed shape. It takes the shape of the container. The molecules in liquid

are not so tightly held so they can slide over one another, but not at the surface, so they take the shape of

the container. The space between the molecules are fixed when the liquid changes shape so they occupy a

fixed volume.

Gas has neither a fixed volume nor a fixed shape. It takes the shape and volume of the container. In gas the

intermolecular forces are so week that the molecules are free to move to every part of the container. So it

assumes the shape and volume of the container.

Compressibility

A solid is practically non compressible, a liquid is compressible to a very little extent but a gas is

compressible to a very great extent. This is because the intermolecular space is very small in solids, larger

in liquid and largest in gas. As the intermolecular space increases the molecules can be pushed together

more easily.

Fluidity

Solids do not flow, but liquids and gases do. This is because cohesion is very strong in solids but not in

liquids and gases. For this property liquids and gases are called fluids.

Read the above content and answer the following questions.

1. What is matter? Give three examples of things made up of matter?

2. What do you mean by intermolecular force?

3. Name the three states of matter and give one example of each?

4. Do gases have fixed volume as liquids do? Give reason?

5. Discuss why shape of solid is fixed whereas that of liquid and gas is not?

6. Why solid not compressible but a gas is? Explain.

Fill in the blanks.

1. The space anything occupies is called its___________.

3. Matter exists in___________ states.

Write true or false

1. Matter is made up of very small particles called atoms, which are held together by

intermolecular force.

2. The greater the intermolecular space, the greater the cohesion.
