WALKING ALONG THE ROAD

  • Walk in a single file

  • Walking on the pedestrian


  • Obeying traffic signs

  1. Look Both Ways: Always look both ways before crossing the road. First, look to the left, then to the right, and then to the left again. This way, you can make sure no cars are coming.

    Example: Before crossing the road to get to the park, look left, right, and left again to make sure no cars are coming.

  2. Use Crosswalks: When there’s a pedestrian crossing or zebra crossing, use it to cross the road. It’s a safe place because cars should stop for you.

    Example: Wait for the green light at the zebra crossing before you start walking across the road.

  3. Hold Hands: If you’re walking with an adult, hold their hand. This helps both of you stay safe and close to the sidewalk.

    Example: Hold your mom’s hand when you’re walking to the store to buy some snacks.

  4. Follow Traffic Lights: When there are traffic lights for pedestrians, wait for the green light before you cross. The red light means stop!

    Example: When the traffic light turns green, you can cross the road safely.

  5. Stay on Sidewalks: Walk on the sidewalk, away from the road. If there’s no sidewalk, walk facing traffic so you can see the cars.

    Example: When you walk to your friend’s house, stay on the sidewalk and don’t go onto the road.

  6. Stay Away from Moving Cars: Don’t play near cars that are moving. Stay a safe distance away from them.

    Example: Don’t play near the road when there are cars driving by. Find a safe place to play in your yard.

  7. Cross with Adults: If there’s no crosswalk, cross the road with an adult. They can help you stay safe.

    Example: When you need to cross a road without a crosswalk, ask a grown-up to go with you.

Remember, following these safety rules keeps you safe and helps drivers know where pedestrians are. It’s important to be careful and responsible when you’re near roads! 🚶‍♀️🚗🛑

State the meaning of soil

 

Meaning of Soil: Soil is like the blanket of Earth where plants grow. It’s the top layer of the ground that helps plants get the nutrients and water they need to thrive. Soil is really important for making our trees, flowers, and even our food grow!

What Makes Up Soil:

  1. Rock Particles: These are tiny pieces of rocks that break down over time. They come in different sizes and help make the soil.
  2. Living Organisms (Ants, Earthworms): Some little creatures like ants and earthworms live in the soil. They help mix the soil and make it better for plants.
  3. Organic Remains: This is like the stuff that comes from plants and animals that lived a long time ago. When leaves, twigs, and other things fall on the ground and mix with the soil, they become part of it.

Why Soil is Important: Soil is like a home for plants. It holds water for them to drink and gives them the food they need to grow big and strong. Just like we need healthy food, plants need healthy soil to grow well.

Next time you see plants growing in your garden, remember that they’re standing in the cozy soil that’s full of nutrients and tiny living creatures. 🌱🪱

If you have any questions, feel free to ask! 🌿

  • Name types of soil

2: Differentiate types of soil

Instructional material/Reference material: Concrete objects, pictures, charts etc. Basic Science Book 1.

CONTENT:

Soil collecting, observing and describing the soil samples from school garden/farm.

  • Clay soi

 

  • Loamy soi

 

  • Sandy soil

 

Collecting Soil Samples:

  1. Clay Soil: Collect a sample of soil from an area that feels sticky and holds together when wet. It’s often found near water sources.
  2. Loamy Soil: Find an area where the soil feels crumbly and holds moisture well. This is loamy soil.
  3. Sandy Soil: Look for soil that feels gritty and doesn’t hold water for long. Sandy soil is often found in dry areas.

Observing and Describing Soil Samples:

  1. Clay Soil:
    • Color: Dark and rich
    • Texture: Smooth and sticky
    • Absorption: Holds water well
    • Observation: When wet, it can be molded into shapes.
  2. Loamy Soil:
    • Color: Dark or light brown
    • Texture: Crumbly and smooth
    • Absorption: Holds water and drains well
    • Observation: Feels soft and ideal for planting.
  3. Sandy Soil:
    • Color: Light and pale
    • Texture: Gritty and coarse
    • Absorption: Water drains quickly
    • Observation: Feels dry and doesn’t stick together.

 

Comparing Soil Types:

  • Clay Soil: Feels smooth and sticky, good for holding water, but may become too compacted.
  • Loamy Soil: Feels crumbly, retains water but also drains well, great for plant growth.
  • Sandy Soil: Feels gritty, doesn’t retain water well, may require more frequent watering for plants.
