Chapter : Blind Greed
Summary of the chapter
Once there was a boy named Abdullah. He was born in Baghdad. He inherited a small property from his father.
After a lot of hardwork, he owned eighty camels. One day he met a saintly man and they started talking to each
other and soon they became friends. The holy man said that he knew of a hidden treasure. Abdullah said excitedly
that he would go and load all of his eighty camels with the treasure. The holy man asked for forty loaded camels in
-
return. They loaded all the camels with the treasure and at the end the holy man took with him a special ointment.
On the way back to home Abdullah got greedy and took back all the camels from the holy man one-by-one. He got
even more greedy and asked for the special ointment. The holy man gave the box to Abdullah and said that if you
apply it to your left eye, you will be able to see all the hidden treasure. But if you apply it to your right eye, you
will become blind. Abdullahs greed grew even deeper and he doubted what the holy man said about the ointment.
He applied it to his right eye with the result that he became blind and lived like a beggar all through his life.

Summary of the poem Tsunami A poem for Japan
The poem Tsunami has been written by David Miligan Croft in which he describes the scene of a
Tsunami. The poet is addressing the Tsunami as a monster who rose from the Pacific belt and rode towards the

property it went away quietly. At last the poet is hopeful that we will come over the temporary loss of life and
property

Conjunctions
Recap
Read the following sentences:
I was late but I still managed to finish the work.
Gita bought a pen and I bought a book.
I will call you when I reach here.
The highlighted words are conjunctions
A conjunction is a word used to join words, groups of words or sentences.
TYPES OF CONJUNCTIONS
Coordinating Conjunctions Subordinating Conjunctions
Coordinating Conjunctions
Read these sentences
I went to the market and bought a pair of trousers.
He, as well as his father, has left for Delhi.
I was tired, still I went to the party.
It rained heavily, but there was no water logging.
The man is rich, yet he is unhappy.
Either visit your aunt or call her up right now.
Neither is he a loyal person nor is he truthful.
He will do well in life for he is focused.
These underlined conjunctions help to join two statements.
Coordinating Conjunctions
A conjunction that joins two independent statements or two statements of equal importance is called coordinating
conjunctions.
-
Most commonly used conjunctions are:
Eitheror, neither..nor, yet, and still
Eitheror, neither..nor, not only ..but also,
Both and, no less..than are used in pairs
Subordinating Conjunctions
Read these sentences:
I returned after the sun had set.
Do not leave the premises till the guards arrive.
The fire brigade reached the spot as soon as they could.
I will inform you whenever I meet him.
The underlined parts of these sentences do not convey complete sense.
It is only when these parts are added to the rest of the sentences with conjunctions (the underlined) words that they
make sense.
Subordinating Conjunctions
A conjunction that joins two statements, one of which is dependent on the other is called a Subordinating
Conjunctions.
Subordinating conjunctions express contrast between ideas or show the cause and effect, relationship between
ideas. For example;
I left for the studio when the rain stopped (cause and effect).
I dislike him because he is dishonest (cause and effect).
Although he is poor, he is an honest man (contrast).
She has not lost her will though she has suffered much (contrast).
I could not visit you as I had fallen ill (cause and effect).

Topic: Electricity
When two charged bodies at different electric potentials are connected by a metal wire, then electric charge will
flow from the body at higher to the one at lower potential (till they both acquire the same potential)
The flow of charges in metal wire constitutes an electric current and the materials that allow the electricity
to pass through them are called conductors.
Thus electric current is the flow of charges (called electrons) in a conductor such as metal wire.
The SI unit of electric current is Ampere which is denoted by letter A .
Electric current is measured by an instrument called Ammeter.
An arrangement of devices through electric current can flow is called an electric circuit.
The simplest way to maintain a potential difference which helps the electric current to flow between the two ends
of a conductor is to connect the conductor between the terminals of a cell or a battery. Due to the chemical reaction
going on inside the cell or a battery, a potential difference is maintained between its terminals. And this potential
difference drives the current in circuit in which the cell or battery is connected.
Bulb lights up
e.g
The direction of electric current is from the positive terminal of a cell (or battery) to the negative terminal through
the outer circuit.
When the metal wire has not been connected to a source of electricity, like a cell or a battery, then the electrons
present in it move at random in all directions.
When a source of electricity like a battery or cell is connected between the ends of the metal wire, then the electric
force acts on the electrons present in the wire.
We know as electrons are negatively charged, they start moving to the positive end of a wire.
This flow of electrons constitutes the electric current in the wire.
Resistors: Those substances which have a comparatively high electric resistance are called resistors. They do not
allow all but some electric current to pass through them. e.g. alloys like manganin and nichrome.
Insulators: These substances have infinitely high electrical resistance and are called insulators. An insulator does
not allow electricity to flow through it at all. e.g: Rubber, Wood.
The majority of electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels. They are non-renewable and that is why it is
advisable to conserve electricity. Besides the generation of electricity leads to pollution.
Methods of conserving electricity
a. Use natural light during the day.
b. Use devices that consume less electricity eg CFL,s , bulbs.
c. Switch off lights and fans when not needed.
d. Rely on alternate sources of energy other than electric energy especially in domestic use. e.g: use of solar
heaters, solar cookers, solar geysers.

Interdependence in Nature You have seen that there are living and nonliving things around you. Plants and animals are living. Air, water, soil
and sunshine are nonliving. We depend on both living and non-living things in many ways. All other living things
also depend on non-living as well as other things.
For Example:
1. Animals need oxygen from the air to breathe, and water to drink.
2. Plants need carbon dioxide from the air, water and sunshine to prepare food.
3. Animals depend on plants for food and shelter.
4. Plants depend on animals for pollination and dispersal of their seeds.
Thus animals and plants depend on each other as well as on non living things around them to survive. That
is why we say that there is interdependence in nature.
Living things depend on nonliving things
Air
Both plants and animals need oxygen to breathe. They use this oxygen to get energy from food during the process
of respiration. That is why we cannot stay alive for long without air. During respiration, plants and animals breathe
in oxygen and give out carbon dioxide
Plants use carbon dioxide to make their food during the process of photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, they
take in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen. This oxygen is again used by plants and animals for respiration.
Water
Water is essential to all plants and animals for carrying out their life processes. Plants absorb minerals dissolved in
water through their roots. Plants use water to prepare food during photosynthesis. Water also helps in dispersal of
seeds of plants growing in or near water.
Several life processes in the bodies of animals require water. For example, water is required for carrying food to all
parts of the body for getting waste from all over the body and removing it from the body in the form of urine. That
is why, we cannot survive in the absence of water.
Soil
Plants cannot grow if there is no soil. Soil provides them with support. Plants get water and minerals from the soil
to make food. Soil provides shelter to animals such as ants, centipedes and earthworms. They also get food from
the soil.
Animals such as rabbits, rats and moles live in burrows in the soil. Since all animals depend on plants for food,
they also indirectly depend on the soil for their food. When animals and plants die, their bodies decay and mix
with the soil. This adds humus to the soil, which makes it fertile for plants.
Sunlight
Plants use the energy from sunlight to make food during photosynthesis. It also provides warmth for seeds to
germinate. Animals also need the warmth of sunlight for survival.
Plants and animals are dependent on each other
Plants and animals are different from each other. But they also need each other. They cannot survive without each
other.
-
Animals depend on plants for food
Herbivores such as cows, goats or giraffes directly depend on plants for food. Carnivores such as tigers, lions or
wolves that eat other animals depend indirectly on plants.
Animals depend on plants for shelter
A number of animals such as birds, squirrels, monkeys and several insects find shelter on trees.
Animals depend on plants for oxygen
Plants make food in the presence of sunlight, carbon dioxide and water. They give out oxygen during this process.
Animals take in this oxygen during respiration.
Plants depend on animals for carbon dioxide
During respiration, animals take in oxygen and give out carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide is used by plants
during photosynthesis.
Plants depend on animals for pollination and dispersal of seeds.
Animals such as butterflies and honeybees help to reproduce by pollinating their flowers. Many varieties of plants
grow over a large area because birds and animals eat their fleshy fruits and scatter their seeds. You have read this
in an earlier chapter.
Animals make the soil fertile.
Animals that live in the soil help to loosen it. Air, required by the roots of plants, can then enter the soil. Animals
like the earthworm make the soil fertile.
Bacteria and fungi help to decay the waste and dead bodies of animals. This causes nutrients in their bodies to mix
with soil, and make it fertile.
Food relationships
The interdependence between plants and animals can be clearly seen by observing how food passes from one
organism to another. This is called a food chain. Food chains always start with plants who are the producers of
food. They are eaten by herbivores who are the primary consumers. The carnivores indirectly utilize the food made
by plants when they eat the herbivores. They are the secondary consumers.
Eventually,all plants and animals die. Bacteria and fungi on the dead bodies break down the dead body into simple
substances which can again be used by plants. Bacteria and fungi are known as decomposers.
Interdependence in Nature
Q1 How do plants and animals depend on each other for their requirements of oxygen?
Ans There is an interdependence between plants and animals. Animals give out carbon dioxide during breathing
which is required by the plants for the process of photosynthesis. In return plants give out oxygen during
photosynthesis which is required by the animals for breathing purpose.
Q2 How are dead animals useful to plants?
Ans Dead animals are useful to plants as the nutrients in their bodies mix with soil and make it fertile. Plants
use these nutrients to grow.
Q3 Arrange the following in the order in which they appear in a food chain
Herbivorous animals, plants, carnivorous animals.
Ans The order of the food chain is
Plants, herbivorous animals, carnivorous animals.
Q4 In what ways is photosynthesis useful to animals?
Ans Animals depend on plants for their food and oxygen. This food is prepared by the plants by the process of
photosynthesis and oxygen is also released in this process. So, photosynthesis is very useful for animals.
Q5 What do plants get from the soil?
Ans Plants get many important things from the soil like water and minerals. These things are required by plants
to make food.
-
Q6 Many animals do not eat plants. So, why do we say that all animals depend on plants for their food?
Ans Many animals do not eat plants but they also depend on plants for their food. These animals depend on
herbivorous animals for their food. In this way the energy and food prepared by plants is indirectly utilized
by these animals.
Direct dependency: grass deer
Indirect dependency: grassdeerlion.

Natural Calamities
Sometimes, events that cause great damage to human life and property are called calamities. When they are caused
by natural factors, we call them natural calamities.
Earthquakes
You may have heard about the earthquake in Gujarat, in 2001 and the devastation it caused all around.
When there is an earthquake, the ground shakes. Along with the ground, buildings shake too. Cracks develop in
the walls of houses. Sometimes, houses fall. Earthquakes are terrible disasters. A strong earthquake can topple
chimneys causing fires, snap electric wires and water mains. Sometimes, people lose their loved ones. Sometimes,
they lose all their belongings. After an earthquake, people have to live in tents for many weeks until they can build
their houses again.
The government provides tents, beds and food to homeless people. Often, the army is called out to help the people.
Japan is very prone to earthquakes. Earthquakes are very common in certain parts of India too.
What should you do if there is an earthquake?
-
If you ever feel the ground move or see fans or pictures on the wall shaking, simply run out of the building as fast
you can. You are safer outside where nothing can fall on you. Dont enter the building even after the earthquake
stops. The building may be damaged and may fall down later.Also; there are usually aftershocks which shake the
ground hours or even days after a major earthquake
Cyclones and floods
Cyclones are a common sight in the coastal areas of India. A cyclone is a very strong wind accompanied by very
heavy rain. A cyclone is a very strong wind accompanied with very heavy rain. The strong winds and rain damage
houses and spoil crops. They blow down electric lines.
When there is very heavy rain the water from rivers rise above their banks and enter homes and fields, causing
floods.
Floods also happen near the sea during cyclones as the strong wind causes high waves, called tidal waves. People
and animals die due to drowning. Floods and cyclones cause great damage to life and property.
Weather forecasters study the weather. They can predict a flood or a cyclone most of the times. A warning is given
to people over the TV, radio or in newspapers. The people get ready for the Situation. They move their animals
and their belongings to safer places. They make their roofs strong or sometimes move away to safer places
themselves. However, the crops get damaged.
When floods or cyclones occur, rescue workers are immediately called into action. These workers could be people
from the community or government agencies. The army is also called in to airlift stranded people as well as to
airdrop food and medicines. The government sets up relief camps for the homeless. Medicines, food, drinking
water and bedding are provided to people. Doctors are put on duty as there is usually an outbreak of diseases such
as cholera, gastroenteritis and typhoid. There may even be cases of snake-bite. The red cross ( an NGO ) provides
services and goods like medicines, clothing and blood to the affected people.
Drought
A drought is a dry period, with rainfall far below the average. In our country, in the year 2002, several regions did
not get enough rainfall. States such as Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Haryana, Maharashtra, Orissa,
Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu were declared drought affected.
If there is no rain, there is not enough water for everyone. Pumps, reserviours and lakes dry up. Wind erosion,
which strips land of its fertile topsoil, takes place. Poor monsoon rains cause the ground water level to dip sharply
and people in cities do not get water in their taps. Farmers do not have enough water for their crops. Crops die and
there is less food. The result is that the prices of food items go up. Sometimes, shopkeepers and farmers hide their
stocks of food items to make prices go up. Livestock and other animals perish too. In severe droughts, people may
even die because of the shortage of food. This is known as a famine. There may also be widespread diseases due to
a famine, leading to epidemics.
Large amounts of money are needed to deal with drought, as food and water has to be distributed to a large
number of people and for their animals. The Government and many non-government organizations provide money
and help.
A natural calamity can slow down the progress of a country. However, it is a time to come together as a nation and
face problems boldly.
Natural Calamities
Q1 What should you do when there is an earthquake?
Ans When there is an earthquake, we should run out of the building and move to a safer place where nothing
can fall on us.
Q2 What happens during a drought?
Ans A drought is a dry period, with rainfall far below the average. If there is no rain, there is not enough water
for everyone. Even the ground water level dips sharply. The crops die and there is less food. The prices of
food items go up. People and animals may even die because of the shortage of the food.
-
Q3 How do people respond to flood warnings?
Ans Weather forecasters study the weather and can predict floods. Then a warning is given to the people over
the TV or radio. People move away with their belongings to safer places.
Q4 Doctors also accompany rescue workers when they go to flood- affected areas. Why is this necessary?
Ans Doctors accompany rescue workers to flood- affected areas because there is usually an outbreak of diseases
like cholera, typhoid e.t.c. in these areas. There may even be cases of snake-bite.
Q5 How is food and water supplied to flooded villages?
Ans Flooded villages are helped by government, army, N.G.Os and people from non-affected areas. Food and
water is air dropped into these areas.

Metals and Non- Metals
Our universe is a store house of a large variety of substances called elements and compounds. There are 115
chemical elements known at present.
On the basis of their properties, all elements can be divided into two main groups.
a. Metals
b. Non- Metals
Both metals and non-metals are used in our daily life.
a. Metals: They are elements that conduct heat and electricity through them. They are lustrous (shiny), hard,
strong, heavy, sonorous (which makes ringing sound when struck) .They reflect light. They are malleable
(means which can be beaten with hammer to form thin sheets without breaking) They are ductile too
(means can be stretched or drawn to wires. Some examples of metals are: Iron, aluminum, copper, silver,
gold, platinum, zinc. Tin, lead, mercury, sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium. All metals are solid
except mercury which is a liquid metal. They are used in our daily life for a variety of purposes eg cooking
utensils, electric fans, sewing machines, cars, buses, aircrafts, ships and aeroplanes. They are all made of
metals or mixtures of metals called Alloys.
Metals are very important for the National economy of every country. The most abundant metal in
the earths crust is aluminum which is about 7% of earths crust. The second abundant metal in earths
crust is iron which constitutes 4% of earths crust.
General physical properties of metals:
1. Metals are generally, hard and strong.
2. They are opaque in nature and do not allow light to pass through them.
3. Metals have high melting and boiling points..
4. They are malleable ie they can be beaten or rolled into sheets.
5. They are ductile ie they can be drawn into thin wires.
6. Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity ie they easily allow heat and electricity to pass through
them.
7. They have high tension strength ie they can withstand wear and tear.
-
8. They are lustrous.

They are elements that do not conduct heat and electricity and are neither malleable nor ductile.
They are brittle. They are light substances and non-sonorous. There are 22 non-metals. Out of these 10 non-
metals are solids,1 non- metals(bromine) is liquid while remaining 11 non-metals are gases.
Though non-metals are small in number as compared to metals, they play an important role in our daily life. These
include carbon, sulphur, phosphorous, silicon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, bromine, iodine, helium, neon and
argon.
Carbon an important non-metal is the most important among all non-metals because all life on
this earth is based on carbon compounds. Carbon compounds like proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, enzymes
are essential for growth and development of all living organisims.Anothernon-metal oxygen is equally important
for existence of life, presence of air is essential for breathing to maintain life. It is also necessary for combustion.
Non- metal sulphur is present in many substances found in plants and animals. Sulphur is present in hair, onion,
