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.

This is a true story from long long ago. Almost three hundred years
ago, in a village called Khejadli, lived Amrita. Khejadli village is
near Jodhpur in Rajasthan. The village got its name because of the many Khejadi trees that grew there.
The people of this village took great care of the plants, trees and animals. Goats, deers, hares and peacocks roamed fearlessly there. The people of the village remembered what their elders used to tell them. They used to say, “Agar perh hain to hum hain. Plants and animals can survive without us, but we can not survive without them.”

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 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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Ashima was sitting near the window and reading. It was windy and
there was a lot of dust in the air. Suddenly Ashima sneezed loudly—
aaa chhee! Ashima’s parents were sorting out vegetables in the
kitchen. Her mother said, “She sneezes just like you do. If you were
not here, I would have thought it was your sneeze.”

4. Who is whose aunt:
Nilima had gone to the house of her nani (mother’s mother) in the school
holidays. She saw someone coming and went to tell her mother, “Amma,
a mausi (mother's sister) has come to meet you.” Her mother came out to
see who had come. She told Nilima, “No, this is not your mausi ! She is
your sister Kiran. You know your eldest nani ? Kiran is the daughter of
her elder son. Kiran is your cousin sister. In fact, you are her cute son
Samir’s mausi !”
5. How we are all related!
Nilima started playing with Samir. Her mother called Kiran and said,
“See, my Nilima’s hair is a lot like yours – thick, curly and black. It’s
good she does not have hair like mine – straight, limp and brown!”
Nilima’s nani laughed and said, “Yes, isn’t it strange? We sisters had
thick curly hair and now our second generation has similar hair.” Nilima
was listening to all this. She thought, “We are called ‘distant’ relatives,
but, how closely related we are in many ways!”
6. We learn so many things when we come to school. But do you know
which is our first school? Yes, it is our family. We learn so many things
from our family – much before we learn from anywhere else. This is
because we are so close to our family. But we really never give it a
thought. Let us think about our family and talk about it.

10. Is this a mirror?
Look at the next page. Is Saroja standing in front of a mirror? No, this is
her twin! Did you get confused? Their mother's brother (mama) also gets
confused when he sees them together.
11. At times Saroja gets scolded for mischief done by Suvasini. Sometimes
Suvasini tricks her mama and says, “Suvasini has gone out.” But now
mama has learnt a trick. He says – Sing a song in Marathi ! Why this
funny trick?
12. Read about them and you will understand. The sisters were just two
weeks old when Saroja's father's brother's wife (chachi) adopted her and
took her to Pune. Everyone in chachi's house is very fond of music.
Mornings begin with music in the house. Saroja knows many songs in
both languages – Tamil and Marathi.
13. At home everyone speaks Tamil and at school most children speak in
Marathi. Suvasini stays with her father in Chennai. Her father is a karate
coach. Since she was three, Suvasini started doing karate with the other
children. On holidays, both father and daughter start practicing in the
morning. Saroja and Suvasini look alike but are also quite different.
14. Do you now know why mama has his way of finding out who is who?
Saroja and Suvasini look a lot like each other yet are different. For
example, Saroja knows two languages. If Suvasini's family also talked in
two languages she could also learn both. We learn many things like
language, music, love for reading, or knitting, when we get a chance
and an environment to do so.

16. 8 Traits Babies Inherit From Their Mother
When you're anxiously awaiting your little one's arrival, you’ll probably
wonder not only what they will look like, but how they’ll act, talk,
walk, and more. Here are eight traits your baby will inherit from their
mom.
17. Your baby can inherit a lot more than just hair color and physical
features from its parents. As you await the arrival of your new baby,
you’ll probably wonder not only what they will look like, but how they’ll
act, talk, walk, and more. Thankfully, studying genetics has allowed us
to pinpoint which of these traits come from which parent, so you can
narrow down exactly who your little one got those dimples from.
18. Sleeping Style
Between tossing and turning, insomnia, and even being a fan of n
babies can aps, pick up on these from mom during nap time and turn
them into their own lifelong sleep habits. Monkey see, monkey do!
19. Hair Color
While it is most likely that the baby will inherit the dominant over
recessive genes, the color of a mother’s hair can also say a lot about
what the hairs on your little one will look like.
20. Hair Texture
Like hair color, your little one is more likely to inherit the texture of
their mother’s hair over their father, so your curls could definitely carry
over to the baby!
21. Temper
Will your little one not stop crying or screaming? You may have
yourself to thank (or blame) for that! While their environment does play
a part in this, new studies have indicated that genetic makeup could play
a larger role in your baby’s temperament.
22. Dominant Hands
While having two parents who are left-handed could all but guarantee
that their baby would too be left-handed, if only the mother is a lefty,
your baby likely will be too!
23. Migraines
If you suffer from migraines, there could be a higher chance that your
little one will too one day.
24. Intelligence
Sorry, dads! A new study shows that because intelligence is carried over
into the baby with two X chromosomes from the mother and one from
the father, this could have an effect on the baby’s level of intelligence. A
second study showed that despite education, race and socio-economic
class, the IQ level of the mother could be a good indicator for that of a
baby. Most often, babies are a perfectly intricate mix of both parents,
but there are still more than a few things they could pick up from just
mom or dad. Does your little one have any traits from you?
25. Healthy Eating Habits:
What you feed your body and baby during pregnancy isn’t just
important while you’re in the womb, it could have lifelong effects on
your little one! One study done in rats showed that a poor pregnancy diet
could affect a gene linked to insulin production, which could increase
their risk of type 2 diabetes later in life. While the same study has yet to
be tested on humans, it’s best to be safe!
26. 8 Traits Inherit From Their Father:
When you're anxiously awaiting your little one's arrival, you’ll probably
wonder not only what they will look like, but how they’ll act, talk, walk,
and more. Here are eight traits your baby will inherit from their dad.
27. Surprises in Nature:
Genetics is a funny thing! I’ve seen two people who were so sure that
their baby was going to be a huge linebacker, but when the time came, a
sweet petite little girl slipped into this world. Obviously, everyone was
shocked, but more than anything, mom was pleasantly surprised. It was,
also, a blatant reminder that we are all just big equations and it takes only
a shift in DNA coding to create a brand new person.
28. One more important thing to know is that a recent study found that men
are four times more likely to have mutations because they continue to
produce sperm as they age, but women are born with all of the eggs they
will ever need. Age plays a role in both male and female reproduction.
Here are seven traits that your baby is likely to inherit from their father:
29. Height
Physical appearance as a whole is heavily biased towards expressing
your father-given genes and there’s much thought that this is due to
survival of the fittest. Back when our survival depended on physical
endurance and stamina, it was preferred for females to partner with a
physically superior males.
30. Dental Health
If your pop has a mouthful of cavities, it could be that you’re looking at
a life filled with trips to the dentist. Better check for a rewards cards!
31. Dimples
Women swoon over dimples. They are like precious accessories on an
already tall drink of water! Good news about these sweet cheeks is that
they are dominant, so your child is likely to have dimples, too.
33. Fingerprint
There is a belief that this is a sneaky way that nature designed to be a
way for males to identify their offspring. This could be a fun genetic
expression that is still around from hunting and gathering days.
34. Mental Disorders
Bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder are among the list of
psychological conditions that are passed down via the “Y Linkage.” This
is a peculiar relationship that happens when a father passes along a
mental health condition (on the Y chromosome) to their son.
35. Handedness
You’re more likely to share your dominant hand with your father over
your mother if one is left-handed and one is right-handed. Add this to the
list after your child being your husband’s identical twin, their first word
being ‘dada,’ and always looks 10x more delighted to see their father!
36. All jokes aside, nature was designed specifically to create varying
equations resulting in varying humans. This is yet a beautiful reminder
to never judge other people-- especially people you know nothing about.
You never know what is going on in their world--literally and
genetically. We are all very complex individuals and the way we are
wired is unique to each individual.
37. I’ll leave you with this: You are exactly who you are supposed to be and
you’re rocking being you. You can do this. You are doing this.

partner's? Check out this genetic explanation of how personality is
determined.
38. Dominant DNA:
Scientists used to think people had up to 100,000 genes -- until the
Human Genome Project revealed that we actually have closer to 25,000.
Why the huge overestimate? It turns out most genes are multitaskers and
do their jobs by marshalling other genes -- turning them on and off or
boosting their effects -- so we need fewer genes overall.
41. Some from the family, some from the environment From a distance
Vibha knows that her nana (grandfather) is coming – from his loud
laughter. Nana also talks loudly and hears with difficulty. Are there
people in your house who talk loudly? Is it their habit, or they cannot
also hear very well? Are there times when you do not talk loudly in front
of some people? When? With whom? Why? When can you speak loudly?
42. Some people use a machine in their ear to help them hear better. Some
use a stick or spectacles to help them in other ways. Do you know
someone who does so? We have seen that some traits or habits we get
from our family. Some things and skills we learn from our environment.
At times our abilities change because of some illness or old age. All
these together make us what we are!
43. Genes and genetics:
Related parents are more likely than unrelated parents to have children
with health problems or genetic conditions. This is because the two
parents share one or more common ancestors and so carry some of the
same genetic material. If both partners carry the same inherited gene
change, their children are more likely to have a genetic condition.
44. Experiments with peas:
Gregor Mendel was born in a poor farmer’s family in Austria in 1822.
He was very fond of studies but the very thought of examinations made
him nervous (Oh! you too feel the same!). He did not have money to
study at the University so he thought of becoming a ‘monk’ in a
monastery. He thought from there he would be sent to study further.
Which he was. But to become a science teacher he had to take an exam.
Oh no! he got so nervous that he kept running away from the exam, and
kept failing!
45. But he did not stop doing experiments. For seven years he did
experiments on 28,000 plants in the garden of the monastery. He
worked hard, collected many observations, and made a new discovery!
Something which scientists at that time could not even understand! They
understood it many years after his death, when other scientists did such
experiments and read what Mendel had already written. What did
Mendel find in those plants? He found that the pea plant has some traits
which come in pairs.
46. Like the seed is either rough or smooth. It is either yellow or green,
and the height of the plant is either tall or short. Nothing in between. The
next generation (the children) of a plant which has either rough or
smooth seeds will also have seeds which are rough or smooth. There is
no seed which is mixed a bit smooth and a bit rough. He found the same
with colour. Seeds which are either green or yellow give rise to new
seeds which are either green or yellow.
47. The next generation does not have seeds with a mixed new colour made
from both green and yellow. Mendel showed that in the next generation
of pea plants there will be more plants having yellow seeds. He also
showed that the next generation will have more plants with smooth
seeds. What a discovery!
48. In this web lab, students experiment with garden pea plants (Pisum
sativum) as did Austrian monk Gregor Mendel (1822-1884). Mendel
chose to experiment with peas because they possessed four important
qualities: Peas had been shown to be true-breeding (all offspring will
have the same characteristic generation after generation). Peas exhibit
a variety of contrasting traits (purple vs. white flowers; round vs.
wrinkled seeds). The shape of the pea flower protected it from foreign
pollen. Peas usually reproduce by self-pollination, in which pollen
produced by a flower fertilizes eggs in the same flower.
49. Pea plants grow quickly and do not require much space.
The traits that Mendel studied are listed below:
Form of ripe seed (R) – smooth or wrinkled
Color of seed albumen (Y) – yellow or green
Color of flower (P) – purple or white
Form of ripe pods (I) – inflated or constricted
Color of unripe pods (G) – green or yellow
Position of flowers (A) – axial or terminal
Length of stem (T) – tall or dwarf
50. Mendel is the guide for students throughout the web lab. When he first
appears, he says, “Hello. My name is Gregor Mendel. I lived in Austria
in the 1800s long before anyone knew about genes and genetics. I
experimented with plants to study how traits are passed from parents to
offspring ad discovered the basic rules of inheritance that are still used in
your textbooks today. Come and try some of my experiments to see what
you can discover about inheritance.
51. The next text reads, “I used pea plants because they grow quickly and
easily, and it is easy to see and recognize their different traits.” This
section of the web lab allows students to explore the traits on which
Mendel experimented, then cross pea plants to see what offspring they
produce.
52. Mendel urges students to, “Plant five pea plants and observe what they
look like.” Each of the pea plants quickly sprouts. By rolling over the
plants with the cursor, the student can see the color of the pea pod, the
shape of the pod, and the color and form of the ripe seed.
53. All of the different variations of pea plant can be seen in these growing
peas, although the plants are randomly chosen each time the application
is run. After they have planted and grown five plants, Mendel asks
students how many distinguishing traits they see in the plants. On the
next screen, he reveals that there are seven different traits:
54. Pea shape (round or wrinkled)
Pea color (green or yellow)
Pod shape (constricted or inflated)
Pod color (green or yellow)
Flower color (purple or white)
Plant size (tall or dwarf)
Position of flowers (axial or terminal)
55. In this section of the web lab, students explore plant crosses and predict
what the offspring of these crosses will look like. A plant with round
peas and a random assortment of other traits appears on the screen.
Mendel says “Cross this plant with itself. What pea shapes do the
offspring have?”
56. When the student drags the plant into one of the Parent boxes, the Cross
button appears. When the student clicks the Cross button, five offspring
grow. Some of the offspring from the plant with round peas have
wrinkled peas. Mendel then asks, “Were you surprised that a plant with
round peas produced some offspring with wrinkled peas?”
57. Mendel appears and says, “What did you learn about your peas?”
Students will probably recognize that, while a plant with round peas
produced some offspring with wrinkled peas, the plant with wrinkled
peas produced only offspring with wrinkled peas. This is one key to
Mendel’s experimentation—a trait that was not apparent in a parent
generation appeared in the F1 generation.
58. Mendel then explains the concept of dominant and recessive alleles by
saying, “By performing my experiments with peas, I learned a lot about
genetics and how traits are passed on. I noticed that sometimes offspring
seem to have traits that their parents did not show. I called the traits that
appeared to mask (or hide) other traits dominant. I called traits that
seemed to be hidden recessive.”
59. Pedigree
In this section of the web lab,
students experiment with pea plants
to try to discover which alleles are
dominant and which are recessive.
Using four different pea plants,
students can cross plants with
themselves or with each other to
determine dominance. One strategy
that students might employ is to cross
plants with themselves—offspring
that show a different trait than the
parent of such a cross possess the
recessive allele (which was hidden by
the dominant allele in the parent
generation).
60. Mendel says, “Using these plants, figure
out how the trait for flower color is
passed on. Which color is dominant,
white or purple? This is a pedigree. You
can cross plants with themselves or with
each other.”
When a student clicks on one of the
plant symbols (a white or a black box),
the cross button appears. If the student
selects two plants, then the two plants
are crossed and the offspring appear
below. If a student selects only one plant
and clicks the Cross button, then the
plant self-fertilizes and the offspring
appear below. Students can cross plants
as many times as they want before
deciding which allele is dominant.

61. Explore
Students can explore all seven of the pea
traits that Mendel explored in this
section. Four pea plants appear in the
pedigree and students can select which
trait they are looking at with the pull
down menu in the upper left corner of
the screen. When students have
determined which alleles are dominant,
they can record their choices in their
notepads by clicking on the View
Notepad button. The Check button
allows students to check the answers
they have input into their notepads. The
following table shows each of the traits
and which traits are dominant and which
recessive.
