    3. Why is the camel called the “Ship of the Desert”?

    • The camel is called the “Ship of the Desert” because:

    • It can walk easily on the sand without sinking.

    • It can survive for long periods without water.

    • It carries people and goods across deserts, just like a ship carries goods on the sea.

    II. Questioning and Hypothesis

    Home » Solutions » Class 5 » EVS Textbook Solutions » Chapter 4: Know Our Organ Systems

    Based on Chapter 4, “Know our organ systems” from the Class 5 EVS textbook, here are the answers to the “Improve Your Learning” section.

    Improve Your Learning

    I. Conceptual Understanding

    1. Name the parts of the circulatory system.

    • The circulatory system consists of:

    • Heart

    • Blood

    • Blood vessels (arteries and veins).

    2. Which system is responsible for our body’s movement?

    • The Skeletal System and Muscular System together support body movement.

    3. What is inhalation and what is exhalation?

    • Inhalation: The process of taking in oxygen-rich air into the lungs.

    • Exhalation: The process of expelling carbon dioxide and water vapor from the lungs.

    II. Questioning and Hypothesis

    4. If you have a chance to meet a doctor (cardiologist), what type of questions would you ask about the heart?

    • What is the role of the heart in the circulatory system?

    • How can we keep our heart healthy?

    • What causes heart diseases?

    • How many times does the heart beat in a day?

    • Why do athletes have slower heart rates?

    III. Experiments and Field Observations

    5. Place your hand on the heart and feel the heartbeat carefully. Run for some time and feel it again. Do you find any difference? Write the difference with reasons.

    • Observation: The heartbeat increases after running.

    • Reason: When we run, our muscles need more oxygen to produce energy. The heart beats faster to pump more oxygen-rich blood to the muscles and remove carbon dioxide efficiently.

    IV. Information Skills and Projects

    6. Visit a doctor or a nurse nearby and ask the functions of vital organs. Make a brief note.

    • Brain: Controls all body functions and processes messages from sensory organs.

    • Heart: Pumps blood, transporting oxygen and nutrients to the body.

    • Lungs: Absorb oxygen and expel carbon dioxide during respiration.

    • Kidneys: Filter blood and remove waste materials as urine.

    • Liver: Helps in digestion and detoxifies harmful substances.

    V. Drawing and Model Making

    7. Draw the following on a chart. Label them and display them in the classroom:

    • i) Digestive System: Include parts like mouth, oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and anus.

    • ii) Excretory System: Include kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra.

    VI. Appreciation

    8. What amazes you in these body parts? Write down.

    • The brain amazes me as it controls the entire body like a supercomputer.

    • The heart pumps blood tirelessly, ensuring the survival of the body.

    • The digestive system breaks down complex food into nutrients efficiently.

    • The lungs provide oxygen, which is essential for energy.

    • The kidneys filter impurities, keeping our blood clean.

    Home » Solutions » Class 5 » EVS Textbook Solutions » Chapter 3: Clothes We Wear

    Based on Chapter 3, “Clothes We Wear,” from the Class 5 EVS textbook, here are the answers to the “Improve Your Learning” section.

    Improve Your Learning

    I. Conceptual Understanding

    1. Write a brief note on the uses of air?

    • Air is essential for breathing and survival. It carries smells, produces sound, and helps in various daily activities like flying kites, drying clothes, and drinking liquids through straws. Wind power is used to generate electricity and lift water for cultivation.

    2. Name the kind of clothes we wear in different seasons.

    1. Summer: Cotton clothes to keep cool.
    2. Winter: Woollen clothes to keep warm.
    3. Rainy Season: Raincoats and waterproof clothes to stay dry.

    3.Write differences between natural and synthetic fibres.

    1. Natural Fibres: Obtained from plants and animals (e.g., cotton, wool, silk). They are eco-friendly and breathable.
    2. Synthetic Fibres: Made artificially using chemicals (e.g., polyester, nylon). They are durable and affordable.

    II. Questioning and Hypothesis

    4. Name the reasons why people use woollen clothes in the winter season.

    Woollen clothes keep the body warm because wool traps heat and insulates against the cold. They are especially useful in cold climates.

    III. Experiments and Field-Based Observations

    5.Wash your dress with a detergent soap and write your experiences.

    Experience: Washing clothes with detergent removes dirt and stains effectively. Dark-colored clothes should not be dried in direct sunlight to prevent fading. Proper washing and drying keep clothes clean and fresh.

    IV. Information Skills and Projects

    6. Collect pieces of cloth, classify them into natural fabrics and artificial fabrics, and paste them on the chart. Display the chart.

    • Examples:
      • Natural Fabrics: Cotton, Silk, Wool
      • Artificial Fabrics: Polyester, Nylon, Rayon

    V. Drawing Pictures and Model Making

    7. Draw pictures of different types of dresses.

    Students can draw sarees, dhotis, uniforms, and casual wear like jeans and T-shirts.

    VI. Appreciation

    8. Say what you like at a tailor’s shop

    I like choosing the fabric for my clothes. Watching the tailor stitch the fabric into a perfect dress is fascinating. It feels exciting to see my ideas turn into reality.

    Chapter 3: Animals Around Us | Class 4 | EVS | AP SCERT

    IMPROVE YOUR LEARNING

    I. Conceptual Understanding

    1. Give some examples of animals that have thick fur on their skin.

    • Examples: Sheep, Polar Bear, Yak, and Alpaca.

    2.Why is a hen called oviparous?

    • A hen is called oviparous because it lays eggs, and its young ones hatch from these eggs.

    3. Sarath says that the duck and the crocodile belong to the same group. Do you agree, why or why not?

    Yes, they both belong to the group of oviparous animals because they lay eggs. However, they are different in habitat and lifestyle. Ducks are birds, and crocodiles are reptiles.

    II. Questioning and Hypothesis

    4. What will happen if there are no crows?

    If there are no crows, the natural ecosystem will be disrupted. Crows help clean the environment by feeding on waste and dead organisms. Without them, waste accumulation might increase, leading to a polluted environment.

    III. Experiments and Field Observations

    5. Observe the legs of a dog and a hen and write about them.

    • Dog’s legs: Strong and muscular, designed for running and walking.
