Class VI: Science: Getting to Know Plants 

Herbs

1. A herb is a non-woody plant that has green and tender stems with few branches and is usually short

2. A herb is a non-woody plant that has green and tender stems with few branches and is usually short.

3. Herbs have a variety of uses including adding flavor to food, providing medicine for diseases and in some cases even adding a spiritual touch.

Shrubs

1.Shrubs are taller than herbs and have stems branching out from the base.

2. The stems of shrubs are hard not but thick.

3. A common place where shrubs are grown is known as shrubbery.

Tree

1.A tree is a woody plant that has many branches on a single stem.

2. Trees benefit us by preventing soil erosion, maintaining the carbon dioxide content in the air and in building huts and making furniture.

Creepers

1. Creepers have a tendency to develop new plants on their own.

2. A few creepers could cause allergies or skin problems if touched.

Climbers

1.Climbers are plants that need support from other structures to grow and spread.

2.Climbers can either move horizontally or vertically unlike creepers that move only horizontally.

3. Climbers attracts insects and reptiles because of their brightly coloured flowers and fragrance

Root hair: The tiny thread-like structures comes over the roots are the root hair. The tip of the root is called the root cap.

Roots are of two types - tap root and fibrous roots. 
Tap root: A primary root that grows more or less straight down into the soil, and is tapered towards the end. This main root is called the tap root.

Lateral roots: There are many smaller roots that branch out from the tap root are called lateral roots. Examples of plants with tap roots are hibiscus, carrot, turnip and sunflower.

Fibrous roots: Many lateral roots that start from the base of the stem are called fibrous roots. Examples of plants with fibrous roots are banana, grass and onion.

The main functions of the roots:

1. Absorb water and nutrients from the soil

2. They store food like sugars and carbohydrates

3. The roots hold the plant firmly in the soil, thereby serving as an anchor to the plant.

The main functions of the Stem:

1. Holds the leaves, flowers and fruits

2. Transport water and nutrients

vascular tissue : The vascular tissue inside the stem helps to transport water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves, and food from the leaves to the roots.

Transpiration : Plants release excess water in the form of water vapour through minute openings in the leaves, called the stomata. This process is known as transpiration

The different parts of a flower: The flower is the reproductive part of a plant.

1.The green leaf-like parts surrounding the bud are called the sepals. They protect the bud before it blooms into a flower. The sepals are collectively called the calyx.

2.The brightly coloured parts of a flower are called the petals. It helps plant to attract insects and birds for pollination

3. The male part of a flower is called the stamen, and the female part is called the pistil.

4. The sepals are collectively called the calyx.

5. The petals are collectively called the corolla.

6. In some flowers, the petals and sepals combine to form a round shape, which is called the tepal.

Fertilization: The male and female parts of a flower are involved in the formation of fruit in a process called fertilization.

The male reproductive part of a flower: The stamen is the male reproductive part of a flower.
1. The small tube with a little bulge at the end of a stamen is called the filament.

2. The filament has a yellow sac called the anther.

3. This yellow sac contains pollen grains, which contain male reproductive cells.

The female reproductive part of a flower : Pistil consists of three parts - the stigma, the style and the ovary.

1. The upper end of the pistil is called the stigma, where pollen grains get deposited and enter the pistil.

2. The narrow tubular part is called the style, which connects the stigma to the lower part of the pistil.

3. The lower bulgy part of the pistil is called the ovary. It contains ovules.

4. The female reproductive cells are ovules

NCERT Activity Chapter 02 Acid Bases and Salt Class 10 Chemistry Activity 2.1 Indicator Acid Base Red litmus No Change Blue Blue Litmus Red No change Phenolphthalein Colourless Pink Methyl Orange Pink   Yellow Indictors are substance which change colour in acidic or basic media. Activity 2.2 There are some substances whose odour changes in in acidic or basic media. These are called olfactory indicators. Like onion vanilla, onion and clove. These changes smell in basic solution. Activity 2.3 Take about 5 mL of dilute sulphuric acid in a test tube and add few pieces of zinc granules to it. => You will observe bubbles of hydrogen gas on the surface of zinc granules. Zn + H2SO4 --> ZnSO4 + H2 => Pass the Hydrogen gas through the soap solution. Bubbles formed in the soap solution as Hydrogen gas it does not get dissolved in it

Class 10 Metal and Non MetalsChapter 03 NCERT Activity Solutions

X Class 10 NCERT Activity Explanation Class 10 Metals and Non Metals Activity 3.1 Page No. 37 Take samples of iron, copper, aluminium and magnesium. Note the appearance of each sample. They have a shining surface. Clean the surface of each sample by rubbing them with sand paper and note their appearance again. They become more shiny. => Freshly cut Metal have shiny surface Activity 3.2 Page No. 37 Take small pieces of iron, copper, aluminium, and magnesium. Try to cut these metals with a sharp knife and note your observations. They are very hard to cut. Hold a piece of sodium metal with a pair of tongs and try to cut it with a knife. Sodium can be cut easily with knife. Hence K and Na are soft metal cut with knife Activity 3.3 Page No. 38 Take pieces of iron, zinc, lead and copper try to strike it four or five times with a hammer. These metals are beaten into thin sheet on hammering. This property of metal is called malleability and metals are called malleable. Activity 3.4 Page

CBSE I NCERT 10th Numerical Problem solved Reflection and reflection of light

Q. 1. A concave mirror of focal length 20cm is placed 50 cm from a wall. How far from the wall an object be placed to form its real image on the wall?  Solution: V= -50 cm F= -20cm From mirror formula 1/u = 1/f – 1/v = -1/20+ 1/50 = - 3/100  U = - 33.3 cm Therefore, the distance of the object from the wall x =  50 – u X = 50 – 33.3 = 16.7 cm. Q.2. An object is placed at a distance of 40cm from a concave mirror of focal length 15cm. If the object is displaced through a distance of 20 cm towards the mirror, By how much distance is the image displaced? Answer: Here f = - 15 cm, u = - 40 cm Now 1/f = 1/u + 1/v Then 1/v = 1/f – 1/u Or V= uf/u-f =( - 40 x -15)/25 = -24 cm Then object is displaced towards the mirror let u1 be the distance object from the Mirror in its new position. Then u1 = -(40-20) = -20cm If the image is formed at a distance u1 from the mirror then v1 = u1f/u1-f = -20X-15/-20+15 = -60 cm. = - 20 x-15/-20+15 = -60 cm. Therefor
