THE MAGIC OF NATURE POEM WRITTEN BY SAFALYA PAL

THE MAGIC OF NATURE THE MAGIC OF NATURE OUR WONDER DOES GROW THE SECRETS OF NATURE ARE NOT FOR THE HUMANS TO KNOW THE MAGIC OF NATURE IS FOR ALL TO SEE IT IS ALL AROUND YOU AND ALL AROUND ME THE BEUTIFUL SCENIC VIEW EVERYTHING SEEMS AWESOME AND NEW LOOKING AT THE AWESOME SIGHT YOU FEEL SO TRANQUIL AND DELIGHT THINK HOW THE LUSH FORESTS ALWAYS REMAIN GREEN THINK WHY THE WATER DOESN’T ACCOMPLISH THINK HOW THE NORTHERN LIGHTS ESTABLISH THINK FROM WHERE DO WE GET NATURAL THINGS WE GET ALL THESE FROM THE NATURE AND THOSE ARE POSSIBLE FOR NATURE’S MAGIC! THE NATURAL BEAUTY OF NATURE HAS SO MUCH TO SAY, THE BEAUTIFUL CROSSROADS AND LONG WAY, THE NATURE HAS ITS CHARM, KEEP IT SAFE AND DO NOT HARM, THE NATURE WILL KEEP US UNSAFE, IF WE DON'T KEEP IT SAFE!                                               - SAFALYA PAL

Mensuration

Introduction to Mensuration

Mensuration

  • Mensuration is the branch of mathematics that deals with the measurement of length, area or volume of various geometric shapes.

Shapes

  • A shape is the form of an object.
  • Examples of two-dimensional shapes are square, rectangle and triangle, and of three-dimensional shapes are cube, cuboid and sphere.

Perimeter

Perimeter

  • Perimeter is the total length or total distance covered along the boundary of a closed shape.
           
  • Perimeter of a circle is also called as the circumference of the circle.
        

Perimeter of a Triangle

            
  • Perimeter of triangle = Sum of lengths of all sides = a + b + c.
  • If the given triangle is equilateral that is if all the sides are equal (a  = b = c), then its perimeter is equal to 3 × length of one side of the triangle.

Perimeter of a Rectangle

          
  • Perimeter of the rectangle = length ( l ) + length ( l ) + width (w) + width (w)
                                                = 2× [length ( l ) + width (w)]

Perimeter of a Square

         
  • Perimeter of square =  4 × length of a side = 4a 

Perimeter of a 'n' sided polygon

  • A polygon is a closed shape made up of line segments.
  • Perimeter of n sided polygon = n × length of one side.
  • Example: Length of each side of a hexagon is a cm, then:
    Perimeter of the hexagon = 6a cm

Perimeter of irregular shapes

  • Irregular shapes are the shapes which do not have all sides and angles equal.
  • The perimeter of irregular shapes is equal to total length covered by the shape.
    In the figure given below, perimeter is the sum of all sides.

Area

Area

  • Area is the total amount of surface enclosed by a closed figure.

Area of Square

  • Area of a square = Side × Side =Side2=a2, where a is the length of each side.

Area of Rectangle

  •  Area = length ( l ) × breadth ( b)

Area of a triangle

 
  • Area of triangle =12×base×height=12×b×h
 

Areas of different types of triangles

  • Consider an acute and an obtuse triangle.
    Area of each triangle =12×base×height=12×b×h

Visualisation of Area

  • In the given graph, if area of each small square is 1 cm2, then
    Area of rectangle =l×b=5×2=10 cm2
    Area of square =a×a=2×2=4 cm2

Area of irregular shapes

  • Area of an irregular figure can be calculated :
    Step 1: Divide the irregular shape into regular shapes that you can recognize (eg. triangles, rectangles, circles and squares)
    Step 2: Find the area of these individual shapes and add them. Sum will be the area of the irregular figure.
     
  • Example: Area of the given figure = Area of MNCB + Area of AMGH + Area of EFND 
                                                          = [ 5 × 9 + 4 × 2 + 3 × 3 ] cm2 
                                                          = [45 + 8 + 9 ] cm2 
                                                          =62 cm2

TOWN PLANNING IN INDUS VALLEY ➡

  ⚫TOWN PLANNING IN INDUS VALLEY ➡ It was all about how they planned their cities. The cities were divided into two parts. One part smaller and the other part bigger. The smaller part was raised above the ground about 12 meters height and it had massive walls surrounding it. The walls protected it from floods. It seems like a proper fort, Na? The archaeologists also thought so. That’s why they named it Citadel. Most of the important people like the kings, the royal families, the priests, they all lived here. The other part was bigger in size and it had all the residential buildings and the public facilities. It was the place for the common people and it was situated below the Citadel. So we call it the lower town and not just that the cities was guarded so well that they have watch towers made of stone to keep a watch on enemies. So that the cities was not only protected from flood but also from any attacks. The Harappan cities had an awesome system of water supply. There was no discri

ALL ABOUT PINHOLE CAMERA, NCERT NOTES, CLASS 6

  PINHOLE CAMERA The pinhole camera is based on the principle that light travels in a straight line. Construction of a Pinhole Camera- To construct a pinhole camera follow the steps described below - Take a small box like a shoebox. Paint the box entirely in black to light-proof it Appropriately determine the distance between the film of plastic or ground glass and light source and make a circular pinhole on the bottom of the box Make a shutter by cutting a piece of thick black chart paper. Use sturdy duct tape to hold the shutter in place Use a light adhesive to control the shutter flap and light entering the box Make a viewfinder out of cardboard. Pinhole Camera Image Characteristics- A real image is obtained as the image is obtained on the screen. The size of the image obtained is comparatively smaller than the actual object. The image is inverted on the x-axis as well as on the y-axis. The image can be used in the analysis of the rectilinear propagation of the light. Uses of a P

What is mucilage, how does it emerge?

  What is mucilage, how does it emerge ? Mucilage or "sea snot" is the result of the overgrowth of microscopic algae called "Phytoplankton", which constitutes the first step of biological production in the sea. The thick, mucus-like slimy layer contains a variety of microorganisms.  Mucilage formation, which is a secretion released into seawater in response to changes and anomalies in sea conditions, requires a stagnant sea as well as a high amount of nitrogen and phosphorus contents.  Mucilage, which is a part of a natural process under normal conditions, can expand excessively when the weather gets warmer in the spring months and it finds the right temperature and light.  However, as in the case of the Sea of Marmara, experts say the structure of the sea, as well as intense pollution and waste, and global climate change, are the main reasons beyond such intense mucilage formation.
