DIVERSITY IN LIVING WORLD - (CLASS XI, CBSE BIOLOGY)BIOLOGY TEACHER
Biology is the science of life forms and living processes. The living world comprises an amazing diversity of living organisms. Early man could easily perceive the difference between inanimate matter and living organisms. Early man deified some of the inanimate matter (wind, sea, fire etc.) and some among the animals and plants. A common feature of all such forms of inanimate and animate objects was the sense of awe or fear that they evoked. The description of living organisms including human beings began much later in human history.
THE LIVING ORGANISMS -CHARACTERISTICS AND HABITATS-3 CBSE-V CHAPTER-9BIOLOGY TEACHER
Organisms
An organism is simply defined as any living thing, ranging from microscopic bacteria to large elephants and everything in between.
Different types of plants and animals are found in different areas.
E.g. deserts have camel and cacti as plants. Beaches show coconut trees and crabs. Fishes and other marine animals inhabit the sea
HUMAN CIRCULATORY SYSTEM CHAPTER 8 - CBSE BIOLOGY CLASS-VIIBIOLOGY TEACHER
* Circulatory System: This system is concerned with the circulation of body fluids to distribute various substances to various body parts. The circulatory system is also known as the cardiovascular system.
TRANSPORTATION IN PLANTS - CBSE (CHAPTER-9)NBIOLOGYBIOLOGY TEACHER
Transport of substance in plants
To circulate water, essential nutrients, excretory products, and gases within the plants for various purposes, transportation in plants is necessary. In vascular tissues, this transportation in the plant takes place. By a suction force, water and minerals are transported to various parts of the plant.
Dhanu’s village
Today all the relatives have come to Dhanu’s house to celebrate Dushera. They have come with their luggage in their bullockcarts. Dhanu’s father is the eldest in the family. So all the festivals are celebrated at their house. Dhanu’s mother (aai ), mother’s brother’s wife (mami ) and father’s brother’s wife (kaki ) are busy making puranpoli (sweet rotis made from jaggery and gram).
Along with this a spicy kadi dish is also made. The day passes in laughing and chatting. But by evening everyone’s mood changes. The women and children begin to pack their luggage. The men sit down with the mukadam (agent who lends money) for the meeting. The mukadam gives the details of the loan taken by each family.
LIKE FATHER, LIKE DAUGHTER - ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES CBSE-VBIOLOGY TEACHER
Tell
Does your face or anything else look similar to that of someone else in your family? What is it? Did someone tell you this or did you find it out yourself? How do you feel when people compare you with someone else in your family? Why do you feel so? Who laughs the loudest in your family? Laugh like that person.
They enjoy the wild fruits. They look for birds, whose calls they imitate. Joining them in all this fun is their favourite didi – Suryamani. Every Sunday Suryamani takes the children to the forest.
As they move around, she shows them how to recognize the trees, the plants, and animals. Children enjoy this special class in a forest! Suryamani always says, “To learn to read the forest is as important as reading books.”
A SEED TELLS A FARMER’S STORY - ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES CBSE-VBIOLOGY TEACHER
I am a small seed!
I am a small bajra seed. I have stayed in this beautiful wooden box since 1940. I want to tell you my story. This is a long story but not mine alone. It is also the story of my farmer Damjibhai and his family. If I do not tell my story now, it might be too late!
I was born in Vangaam in Gujarat. That year there was a good bajra (millet) crop. There was a festive mood in the village. Our area was famous for its grain and vegetables. Each year Damjibhai kept aside some seeds from a good crop. This way our bajra family went on from one generation to another. Good seeds were stored in dried gourd (lauki ) which was coated with mud.
He would help some memsahib (lady) to carry her bags, or go to the railway station to pick up empty bottles and newspapers to sell to the kabadiwalla (junk seller). Somehow they were managing their life in the city. It was night, but Sidya had not come home. Jhimli was watching a dance on TV, through the neighbour’s window. Jatrya did not like watching TV. Here, everything was so different. The day would pass running around for work, but the evening brought back old memories.
Stars in her eyes (Indian Express, 2007)
Just 13 years old, Afsana Mansuri has already jumped over the wall. The wall between her jhuggi and the local basketball court. The wall made by society, for a girl who washes utensils for a living. The gender wall her mother had put up for her. Today, Afsana herself has become a strong wall of NBA, the Nagpada Basketball Association of Mumbai.
WHO WILL DO THIS WORK - ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES CBSE-VBIOLOGY TEACHER
Yes, Class-IV (or, Group-D) service means the lowest level posts in Government. This includes Peon, Chaprasi, Daftri, Dispatch Rider, etc. However, nowadays all these employees are called Multi-Tasking Skilled (MTS) workers. Fourth class services are the lowest class services in any organisation.
The woodcutter replied, “It is too cold. My hands are frozen, so I blow on them to warm them up a little. Then, when they get cold again I warm them again by blowing.” You can warm your hands by blowing on them because your breath is hotter than your skin (particularly on a cold day). By blowing, you transfer energy from inside your body to your hands by convection. Moist air, like your breath, carries a lot of energy so it warms things more quickly than dry air.
A SHELTER SO HIGH! - ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES CBSE-VBIOLOGY TEACHER
I am Gaurav Jani and this is ‘Loner ’ – my partner – my motorcycle.
But, Loner is never lonely. We are together all the time. I and my motorcycle wait for a chance to get away from the busy, crowded and noisy city of Mumbai. We like to travel to different parts of this wonderful country. Let me tell you about our amazing journey on the highest roads in India.
WHEN THE EARTH SHOOK!-ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES CBSE-VBIOLOGY TEACHER
Earthquakes are usually caused when rock underground suddenly breaks along a fault. This sudden release of energy causes the seismic waves that make the ground shake. ... The rocks are still pushing against each other, but not moving. After a while, the rocks break because of all the pressure that's built up.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2. FIBRE TO FARIC
A Material which is available in the form of thin and continuous stand is
called Fibre.
The thin strands of thread that we see are made up of still thinner strands
called Fibres.
The cloth produced by weaving or knitting textile fibre is called Fabric.
There are two types of fibres, vi
1. Natural Fibre
2. Man – Made fibre or Synthetic Fibre
3. TYPES OF FIBRES
Natural Fibre: The fibres which are obtained from pland and animals are called
Natural Fibres.
Example: Cotton Wool, Jute & Silk
Cotton
Wool
Silk
Jute
4. Man-Made or Synthetic Fibres: The fibres that are synthesized in laboratory are
called Man-Made or Synthetic Fibres.
Example: Nylon, Polyester, Makmal, Fur etc.
Polyester
Makmal
Fur
5. Natural Fibres
COTTON:
Cotton is a soft, fluffy staple fiber that grows in a boll, or protective case,
around the seeds of the cotton plants of the genus Gossypium in the mallow
family Malvaceae. The fiber is almost pure cellulose. Under natural conditions,
the cotton bolls will increase the dispersal of the seeds.
6. The fiber is most often spun into yarn or thread and used to make a soft,
breathable textile. The use of cotton for fabric is known to date to prehistoric
times; fragments of cotton fabric dated to the fifth millennium BC have been
found in the Indus Valley Civilization.
7. Process of Making Cotton: From field to fabric
The process of making cotton transforms the raw fibers into threads, yarn and
fabric in three steps: Preparation, Spinning, and Weaving.
8. Preparation: To be used for thread or fabric, raw seed cotton must
cleaned and free of debris. Seeds, burrs, dirt, stems and leaf
material are removed from the cotton during ginning (The process
of separating cotton from seed).
9. Spinning
A Yarn is usually of substantial length & of small cross section. In the
cross section of a yarn there are usually a multiple number of Staple
fibers (short fibers) or Filaments (long fibers) of unlimited length.
10. Yarn made out of Staple fiber is known as Spun Yarn, because the
staple fibers should undergo number of process stages so that a yarn
can be made out of them. This procedure or process stages in correct
sequence is called “Spinning”.
11. Staple Spun Yarn:
Those are made by Twisting Staple Fibres together into a Strand.
The length of the Fibre is limited. Given are some of the spun yarns.
1. Mono Yarn:
Solid, Single Strand of Unlimited Length.
2. Multi Filament:
Many continuous filaments with some twist.
3. Staple Yarn:
Many short fibers twisted together tightly.
4. Two Plied Yarn:
Two single yarn twisted together.
5. Multi Plied Yarn:
Plied Yarns twisted together.
6. Thread:
Hard, Fine, Plied Yarn.
7. Cord or Cable:
Many plied yarns twisted into a course structure.
12. Weaving
Weaving is a method of textile production in which two distinct sets of
yarns or threads are interlaced at right angles to form a fabric or cloth.
Other methods are knitting, crocheting, felting, and braiding or plaiting.
The longitudinal threads are called the warp and the lateral threads are
the weft or filling.
13. SLIK
Silk is a natural protein fiber, some forms of which can be woven into
textiles. The protein fiber of silk is composed mainly of fibroin and is
produced by certain insect larvae to form cocoons.
14. There are different types of silk worm produce different silks in terms of
luster and textile. Example: tassar silk, mooga silk, kosa silk etc. are
produced by different types of silk moth. Mulbery silk is the most
common silk moth.
16. Silk moth to silk: After they are laid by the silk moth; eggs are stored
over a clean cloth or paper strips. When larvae are hatched from eggs,
they are kept in clean bamboo trays with fresh leaves of mulberry.
Larvae feed on mulberry leaves for about 20 to 25 days.
17. Process of silk: The process of obtaining silk from silk moth involves-
1) Rearing of silkworms
2) Reeling and
3) Dyeing
This followed by spinning and weaving.
18. WOOL
•Wool is obtained from the fleece (hair) of sheep, sheep, goat, camel,
yak, llama, alpaca and other animals.
•These animals have thick coat hair on their body because the hair traps
the air and air is poor conductor of heat.
•So thick layer of hair keep their body warm and protect them from
harsh cold.
19. Rearing and breeding of sheep
Sheep are reared in many parts our country like Jammu and Kashmir,
Himachal Pradesh, Uttaranchal, Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, Haryana,
Punjab, Rajasthan, Gujarat etc.
20. Processing of making wool
The major steps necessary to process wool from the sheep to the fabric
are: shearing, cleaning and scouring, grading and sorting, carding,
spinning, weaving, and finishing.
21. Shearing: Sheep shearing is the process by which the woollen fleece
of a sheep is cut off. The person who removes the sheep's wool is
called a shearer.
22. Cleaning and scouring: scouring is a way of cleaning textile fibres.
Wool that's been shorn from a sheep is known as greasy, or
raw wool
23. Grading and sorting: Grading should not be confused with wool
classing: sorting fleeces into various lines according to fineness,
length, strength, yield, color, and style.
24. Carding: Short-stapled pieces of wool which result from the
carding process, spun and woven to make standard-quality
fabrics.
25. Spinning: Spinning is the twisting together of drawn-out strands of
fibers to form yarn, and is a major part of the textile industry.
27. Weaving: The process of arranging two sets of yarn together to
make a fabric is called weaving.
28. JUTE
Jute is a long, soft, shiny vegetable fiber that can be spun into coarse, strong
threads. It is produced primarily from plants in the genus Corchorus, which was
once classified with the family Tiliaceae, and more recently with Malvaceae. Jute
was used for making textiles in the Indus valley civilization since the 3rd
millennium BC.
29. Process of making jute:
They are: Batching, Carding, Drawing, Spinning, Winding. They are
the main process, either there are sub process to manufacture jute
yarn. There are two types of yarn are produced from jute spinning;
sacking yarn and hessian yarn. The manufacturing process of
raw jute are mentioned below.
30. MAN MADE OR SYNTHETIC FIBRE
These are also known as man-made fibers. Synthetic fibers are
obtained by chemical processing of petrochemicals. The synthetic
fibers can be woven into a fabric, just like natural fiber.
31. Synthetic fibers have a wide range of use ranging from household
articles like ropes, buckets, furniture, containers, etc. to highly
specialized uses in aircrafts, ships, spacecrafts, health care, etc.
32. Synthetic fibers and plastics are made up of molecules called
polymers. A polymer is a large molecule formed by combination of
many small molecules, each of which is called a monomer.
33. Properties of synthetic fibers
•The properties of synthetic fibres are as follows- They quickly dry
up. It means that synthetic fiber dries easily after washing. They are
durable.
2. It means that they can be used for a longer period of time.
They are less expensive. They are readily available. They are easy to
maintain and do not need extra care.
34. Kinds of Synthetic Fibers
There are different kinds of synthetic fibers which are as follows-
Rayon, Polyester, Nylon, Acrylic & Plastic
35. Rayon
•This is a type of synthetic fibre obtained from wood pulp.
•Rayon is soft, absorbent and comfortable.
•It is easy to dye in wide range of colors.
•Rayon is mixed with cotton to make bedsheets.
•Rayon is mixed with wool to make carpets.
36. Nylon
This type of synthetic fibre is obtained from coal, water and air.
Nylon is very lustrous, easy to wash and elastic.
It dries quickly and retains its shape.
Nylon finds its application in seat belts of car, sleeping bags, socks,
ropes, etc.
Nylon is also used in ropes for rock climbing, making parachutes and
fishing nets.
37. Polyester
This type of synthetic fibre is obtained from coal, water, air and
petroleum.
Polyester is made from repeating units of chemical known as esters.
Polyester is easy to wash and it remains wrinkle free and it is quite
suitable in making dress material.
Polyester retains its shape and remains crisp.
Polyester is used in making ropes, nets, raincoats, jackets, etc.
38. Acrylic
It is warm and lightweight.
It is soft and flexible.
Acrylic fiber is often used for making sweaters, blankets, cashmere,
jackets, shawls, and tracksuits.
It is also used as linings for boots and gloves as well as in furnishing
fabrics and carpets.
It is used in craft yarns, boat sails and vehicle covers.
39. Advantages of synthetic fibres
•Synthetic fibres are very durable and do not wrinkle easily
•They are elastic and can be easily stretched out
•They are strong and can sustain heavy load.
•It is soft and hence it is used in clothing material.
•It is cheaper as compared to natural fibres.
40. Disadvantages of synthetic fibres
•Most synthetic fibres do not absorb moisture.
•Synthetic fibre can be affected if washed using hot water.
•It catches fire easily as compared to natural fibre.
