Chapter 1 THE EARTH - OUR HOME

NOW WATCH THE VIDEO.

The earth on which we live is our home. We make our houses on it. We play and work on it. We grow our food on it. We build houses and buildings on it. Like human beings, animals, birds and insects also live on the earth. Millions of plants and trees grow on it.

The surface of the earth is made up of land and water. About three- fourths of the earth's surface is water and one fourth is land. As there is more water on its surface, the earth looks blue from space. That is why it is called the blue planet. The earth is made up of land, water and air. Life is possible on the earth because of these things.

All human beings, animals and plants need air to live. The earth is surrounded by a layer of air. This layer of air is called the atmosphere. We cannot see air around us. We can only feel it.

Chapter 1 THE EARTH - OUR HOME

Shape of the earth
The shape of the earth is round like a huge football. Hundreds of years ago, people didn't know that the earth is round like a ball. They thought that it was flat. So they were afraid of travelling to far off places. They thought that if they travelled too far, they would reach the end of the earth and fall down from it.

It was about 500 years ago that some brave sailors started on a long voyage. Ferdinand Magellan, a brave sailor from Spain took five ships and many sailors. He started sailing towards the west. Magellan kept on sailing in the same direction without taking a turn. It was a difficult journey. After sailing for three years he reached the same place from where he had started. This long journey proved that the earth is round and not flat.

Science has made a great progress We know a lot about the earth. Two astronauts from America were the first to land on the moon. They were Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin.
From the moon, they took many photographs of the earth.

Satellites have also taken pictures of the earth. These photographs clearly show that the earth is round like a ball.

If we look out from the top of a high building, the land and the sky seem to meet at a distant point. The place where they seem to meet is called the horizon. Actually the land and the sky never meet. If we move towards the horizon, it will seem to move farther away.

If we stand near a seashore, the water and the sky also seem to meet at a distant point. But actually, the water and the sky never meet.

                                                       THE COAST
The place where the land and the sea meet is called a coast.

Earth Day is celebrated on the 22nd of April.

"The earth is very big. We cannot see the whole of the earth at one time.So, we have made a model of the earth. A model of the earth is called a globe."

Since, the earth is round, the globe is also round like a ball. We can see one half of the globe at a time. To see the other half, we have to rotate it. The earth is slightly flat at the top and the bottom.

The topmost point of the earth is called the north pole. The bottom most point of the earth is called the south pole.

Different colours on the globe show water bodies. The blue parts show water bodies. Different colours are used to show different countries and continents.

Oceans:
Large bodies of water on the earth are called oceans. The four main oceans on the earth are:
1) The Pacific Ocean
2) The Atlantic Ocean
3) The Indian Ocean
4) The Arctic Ocean

The Indian Ocean is named after India our country. The Pacific Ocean is the largest ocean on the earth.
The smaller bodies of water are called seas, bays and gulfs.

NOW WATCH THE VIDEO.
 


Map:

Since the globe is small in size, we cannot show all the places of the earth on a globe. It is also difficult to carry a globe everywhere. We can solve this problem by using a map.

A map is a drawing of the earth on a flat surface. A map which shows the whole earth is called a world map. A map of a smaller area can also be drawn.

A map may be small in size, such as a map in a book. A map may be big in size which can be put up on a wall. Such maps are called wall maps. A book of maps is called an atlas.

Maps are easy to carry. We can fold or roll a map. It can be drawn for a continent, a country, Scott or a town.

Look at the map of the largest continent Asia. Every map shows four main directions.

North, South, East, West
These directions help us to locate the various places on the map.

Did you know that sailors use a compass to find their way while sailing?
A compass is an instrument which helps to know the directions. There are four directions- East, West, North and South. The compass is like a watch and has a needle which always points to the north direction.

Chapter 3   OUR ENVIRONMENT 
NOW WATCH THE VIDEO.

The natural environment consists of all living and non living things that occur on the earth. An environment is all that surrounds a thing. We see a number of objects in our environment- the sun, the moon, and the stars in the sky, birds, animals, ships, houses, air, water and all.

We use different objects in our daily life. These objects are made of different materials. What do you do with the things you do not need? You throw them in the dustbin. These unwanted things are called litter. Litter is ,trash put in the wrong place.
Dangers of Litter:
Litter, that is, trash or garbage can:
Spread diseases because flies and mosquitoes sit on it.
Contaminate the soil and water.
Cause injury from broken glass.
Litter is dangerous and bad for the environment. The air, land and water gets polluted. Some of the litter rots like vegetable peels and decays. Some other do not decay and contaminate the earth. This causes pollution of the land, air and water. To pollute means to make it dirty and harmful.
