HOLIDAY ASSIGNMENT CLASS: IX Dear Students “Curiosity is the wick in the candle of learning.” Holiday Homework is an integral part of our academics. It is vital that you keep your mind ‘ticking over’ during the summer break, to prepare yourself. Yes! A holiday is supposed to be a break from studies, explanations and completing tasks. Therefore, here are a few interesting activities to keep your mind stimulated, during the summer break. Objective: The key purpose of this research-based holiday homework is to inculcate 21st- century competencies in our students. It aims at encouraging creativity, citizenship, character building, critical thinking and problem-solving in the learners. We look forward to effective and efficient completion. Each Holiday Homework is an individual activity and is a part of UI Assessment. It carries 20 marks. The student should mail their HHW to their respective subject teacher.

MATHS MAPPING MY NEIGHBOURHOOD Name of the activity: To use co-ordinate Geometry to make a map of major landmarks in the neighbourhood Pre requisite knowledge: Cartesian plane and axes Skills developed: Spatial Intelligence and Mathematical Creativity Objective of activity: After the activity you will be able to • Plot and interpret points defined in ordered pairs (x,y) in the cartesian plane using appropriate scales. • Graph geometric figures given coordinates of vertices. • Locate places on maps using coordinates. Description of activity: • Create a map of your neighborhood to show others what it looks like and where you live. • Identify some major landmarks near your house like your house, school, the park, salon etc. • You can use Google Map or Google Earth to know the exact coordinates of major landmarks near your house. • Take a graph sheet and using an appropriate scale, mark those landmarks. • You can use an A4 size graph sheet (or make a grid on A4 sheet) for the same. • You can use colours or markers to highlight the places that you have plotted using pre- defined symbols in scale. Research Based Work: Use Google Maps to find out the best possible way to reach school from your house. Plot the route on a graph sheet, using an appropriate scale. Mention the factors considered to choose the best route. Compile your work in a handmade folder. The contents of the folder are as follows: Introduction sheet. Names of the landmarks and their exact coordinates with pre-defined symbols used.

SCIENCE ‘Their Minds were not built to sit and be taught, they were built to explore, play and learn’ Roller Coaster Ride on Scientific Toys SCIENCE ACTIVITY: Dear Students Science toys help kids become interested in science, while also being a source of entertainment. They plant the seeds for future scientific exploration and even a career in the sciences. In addition to being very educational, the right toy can mesmerize a child for hours as they learn how it works and figure out the nuances of its operation. It can definitely help give them that all important head start in school as they begin their studies in science. Science based toys are a great way to learn about basic scientific principles. The most interesting and engaging science toys are usually based on principles in the branch of science. So let us get set go and explore, study and analyze the scientific principles and make scientific toys To help you start with following are some scientific principles based on which you can design your own scientific Toy! • Law of conservation of Energy • Newton’s Laws of Motion • Law of conservation of momentum • Equillibrium (When Anticlockwise momentum is equal to clockwise momentum) • Rocket Propulsion • Magnetism 5
