They serve as a major energy source in the diet of an organism. These compounds are produced by photosynthetic plants and contain only carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. ii. Fibres –Dietary material containing substances such as cellulose, lignin, and pectin, that are resistant to the action of digestive enzymes. iii. Proteins –A protein is an important component of food that is composed of carbon, hy- drogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sometimes sulfur which are arranged as strands of amino acids. iv. Fats –is a component of food, comprising of various soft, solid, or semi –solid organic compounds, constituting the esters of glycerol and fatty acids and their associated organic groups. v. Vitamins –A group of organic compounds which are essential for normal growth and nutrition and are required in small quantities in the diet. They (with few exceptions) cannot be synthesized by the body. vi. Minerals – A naturally occurring, homogeneous inorganic solid substance having a definite chemical composition and characteristic crystalline structure, colour, and hardness. 1.3 Key Concepts i. Food supplies the energy we need to do many tasks in our day to day activities. ii. Our food consists of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals. Besides these, water and fibres are also present. iii. Carbohydrates present in the form of starch in food can be tested using iodine solu- tion. iv. The presence of fats may be tested using the translucent paper patch test. v. Proteins may be tested using Sodium hydroxide solution (Caustic soda solution) and Copper sulphate solution. vi.

SESSION 1 2. ACIDS AND BASES 1.1 Mind Map INTRODUCTION AND INDICATORS 1.2 Terminology i. Indicator – Indicators are substances which show or indicate whether the substance tested is basic or acidic or neutral. ii. Acid – An acid is a chemical substance whose aqueous solutions are characterized by a sour taste, the ability to turn blue litmus red, and the ability to react with bases and certain metals (like calcium) to form salts. iii. Base –Bases are substances that, in aqueous solution, are slippery to the touch, taste bitter, change the colour of indicators (e.g., turn red litmus paper blue), react with acidsto form salts. SESSION 1. INTRODUCTION AND INDICATORS 18

1.3 Key Concepts i. The substances which indicate a change in colour when some substances are added to them are known as indicators. ii. The acidic, basic or neutral nature of any solution is identified by using an indicator. iii. The strips of litmus paper change the colour, based on the nature of the material put on them. 1.4 Conceptual Understanding Q1. When drops of lemon juice are put on a blue litmus paper, it turns red. What will happen if you put some drops of soap solution at the same place on the litmus paper? [Refer to TB page 17 Q4] A. i. When a few drops of lemon juice are put on a blue litmus paper, it turns red. ii. If some drops of soap solution are put on the same place of litmus paper it again turns blue. iii. The reason is, soap solution is basic in nature and bases turn red litmus to blue colour. Q2. Turmeric stains on white clothes, when washed with soap, turn red. Why? [Refer to TB page 17 Q6] A. The turmeric stains on white clothes, when washed with soap, turn red. It is because soap solution is basic in nature. Q3. Red litmus paper is dipped in a solution. It remains red. What is the nature of the solution? Explain your answer. [Refer to TB page 17 Q9] A. It shows that the solution is not basic. It may be acidic or neutral. Q4. Can flowers and turmeric papers also be called indicators? Why? [Refer to TB page 17 Q11] A. Yes, flowers such as Hibiscus (Mandara) and turmeric papers can also be used as indicators because they change their colour in acidic or basic substances. SESSION 1. INTRODUCTION AND INDICATORS 19

Q5. Correct the statement if it is wrong: [Refer to TB page 17 Q12] (a) Indicators show different colours in acidic and basic solutions. (b) Sodium hydroxide turns blue litmus red. (c) Tooth decay is caused by the presence of base. A. (a) Correct. (b) Not correct. Sodium hydroxide is a base. So it turns red litmus to blue colour. (c) Not correct. If food particles settle in tooth cavities, they become rotten and acids are formed. These acids cause tooth decay. Q6. Ammonia is present in window cleaners. It turns red litmus blue. What is its nature? [Refer to TB page 17 Q7] A. Since ammonia turns red litmus blue, we can say that it is basic in nature. Q7. What is the effect of basic substances on turmeric paper? [Refer to TB page 17 Q10] A. Basic substances turn turmeric paper red. 1.5 Asking Questions and Making Hypothesis Q1. What is the nature of urea? Is it acidic, basic or neutral? How can you verify it? [Refer to TB page 17 Q8] A. i. Urea is acidic in nature as it contains uric acid. ii. We can verify it by dropping a blue litmus paper in a sample of urea. iii. The colour of blue litmus turns red indicating that urea is acidic. 1.6 Experimentation and Field Investigation Q1. Test the nature of lemon juice and milk sample with the help of natural indicators pre- pared from different flowers. Explain their nature. [Refer to TB page 18 Q17] SESSION 1. INTRODUCTION AND INDICATORS 20

A. Preparing a natural indicator using flowers: i. Collect some hibiscus flowers. ii. Remove their petals and keep them in a beaker. iii. Add some warm water. Keep the mixture for some time till the water becomes coloured or we can boil the mixture of water and petals for sometime. iv. Now strain the solution. v. The filtrate solution can now be used as an indicator. Testing lemon juice: When we add a few drops of lemon juice, the hibiscus indicator turns the solution dark pink or magenta colour. So lemon juice is acidic in nature. Testing milk sample: When we add a few drops of the above indicator to milk sample it may or may not change its colour. Milk may be slightly acidic in nature to neutral. (Note: The pH of milk ranges from 6.5 to 6.7) The same process may be repeated for the samples with indicators solutions made of different flowers. Q2. Take vinegar, lemon juice, soap water, and baking soda in different vessels. Put beetroot pieces in the vessels. Predict what happens. Verify your prediction by observing the changes. After 10 minutes, 30 minutes, and 60 minutes, record your observations. What do you conclude? [Refer to TB page 17 Q13] A. Students’ Activity Prediction–The lemon juice and vinegar have no effect on beetroot as they are acidic in nature. Soap water and baking soda change the colour of beetroot pieces to a different colour as they are bases.[Note–Prediction may vary from student to student] Hints–Vinegar and Lemon juice being strong acid will show pink/red/brownish red color and Soap Water and Baking Soda being strong base show pale yellow colour/Yellow colour. Q3. Prepare red cabbage juice by boiling a piece of red cabbage in water. Use it as an indicator and test acidic and basic solutions with it. Present your observations in the form of a table. [Refer to TB page 18 Q15] SESSION 1. INTRODUCTION AND INDICATORS 21

A. i. Red cabbage is cut into quarters. It is placed in a pot with a cup full of water and boiled. ii. After about fifteen to twenty minutes, turn off the stove. iii. Cut some plain white paper into small strips. When the pot’s content has cooled, transfer the cabbage water to a glass and dip several strips into it. iv. Place them on a wax paper to dry. v. Use this homemade indicator to test lemon juice (an acid) and baking soda mixed with water (a base). vi. The observations are recorded. S. No. Substance Colour 1. Vinegar Red 2. Lemon Red 3. Apple Red 4. Tomato Pink 5. Banana Pink 6. Pink 7. Milk Pink 8. Water Blue 9. Baking soda Pink 10. Soap Greenish yellow 11. Milk of Magnesia Greenish Blue 12. Ammonia Blue 13. Egg white Greenish yellow Caustic soda SESSION 1. INTRODUCTION AND INDICATORS 22

1.7 Information Skills and Projects Q1. Collect different flowers and prepare their natural indicators with the help of filter papers. [Refer to TB page 18 Q16] A. The following flowers can be used to make natural indicators: Hibiscus and Oleander. Procedure to make natural indicator using hibiscus: i. Collect mature hibiscus flowers and separate their petals. ii. Place them in warm water or boil it for sometime in moderate heat so that the colour leaches out. iii. Filter the solution and your indicator is ready. 1.8 Application to Daily Life, Concern to Bio Diversity Q1. How do you feel about nature? It is a big natural laboratory that contains innumerable indicators. [Refer to TB page 18 Q18] A. i. Nature is a huge laboratory. ii. There are flowers like hibiscus and rose, and indicators like turmeric, acorn, red cabbage and litmus. iii. Litmus is derived from lichens and the others are derived from plants. iv. So nature itself is a big laboratory that contains innumerable indicators. SESSION 1. INTRODUCTION AND INDICATORS 23

SESSION 2 ACIDS AND BASES 2.1 Mind Map 2.2 Terminology i. Red litmus –A strip of paper impregnated with red litmus, used as a chemical indicator that turns blue under basic or alkaline condition. ii. Blue litmus – A strip of paper impregnated with blue litmus, used as a chemical indicator that turns red under acidic condition. iii. Acidic substance –The substances which are sour in taste and turns blue litmus red are called acidic substances. iv. Basic substance –The substances which are bitter in taste , soapy to touch and turns red litmus blue are called basic substances. v. Acid rain – Acid rain is a rain or any other form of precipitation that is unusually acidic. Acid rain is a combination of Carbonic acid, Sulphuric acid and Nitric acid with rain water. 2.3 Key Concepts i. Substances which are sour to taste are called acids. SESSION 2. ACIDS AND BASES 24

ii. Lemon juice, curds, butter milk, apples – all contain acids, they are all natural acids. iii. Some acids like hydrochloric acid and sulphuric acid are prepared from minerals. iv. The substances which are soapy to touch are basic in nature. Few examples are lime water, soaps, milk of magnesium etc. v. Acid rains are the combination of Carbonic acid, Sulphuric acid and Nitric acid with rain water. 2.4 Conceptual Understanding Q1. Match the following: [Refer to TB page 18 Q20] A. Q2.

(A) Lemon juice (B) Baking soda (C) Lime water (D) Antacid A. (a) (C) basic (b) (A) Lemon juice SESSION 2. ACIDS AND BASES 25

Q3. Why are acids not stored in metal containers? [Refer to TB page 17 Q2] A. i. Most of the common acids we use corrode metals. ii. They react with most of the metals except noble metals such as gold, silver and platinum. iii. So acids are stored only in containers made of glass, porcelain or plastic but not in metal containers. Q4. What happens when nitric acid is added to egg shell? [Refer to TB page 17 Q5] A. i. An egg shell contains a chemical called calcium carbonate. ii. The calcium carbonate reacts with nitric acid and releases carbon dioxide. iii.The carbon dioxide released can be tested with a drop of lime water taken on a glass rod. iv. The lime water changes to milky white colour. This is a test for carbon dioxide. SESSION 2. ACIDS AND BASES 26

SESSION 3 NEUTRALISATION AND SALTS 3.1 Mind Map 3.2 Terminology i. Neutralization – If an acid reacts with a base in the correct proportion we get salt and water. This is known as neutralization. ii. Salts –Any chemical compound formed from the reaction of an acid with a base. iii. Neutral substance – Neutral substance is a substance that shows no acid or base properties. SESSION 3. NEUTRALISATION AND SALTS 27

3.3 Key Concepts i. In the neutralisation process, when acid and base are mixed in equal concentration they become neutral. ii. An acid can be changed into base by adding base in excess. Similarly, a base is changed into acid by adding acid in excess. iii. When an acid and a base are mixed, a chemical reaction takes place and a salt is produced. iv. Formation of a salt depends on the type of an acid and a base. v. Salts which change blue litmus to red are acidic salts and salts which change red litmus to blue are basic salts. Some salts affect neither blue nor red litmus papers. These are called neutral salts. 3.4 Conceptual Understanding Q1. The sting of wasp is basic. How can you treat the sting of a wasp? [Refer to TB page 17 Q1] A. i. Since the sting of a wasp is basic, a dilute acid like lime juice is to be applied to the affected area. ii. As the acid neutralizes the base, the pain caused by the sting of the wasp is slowly relieved. 3.5 Asking Questions and Making Hypothesis Q1. Acidic, basic and neutral solutions are given in three test tubes and you are given a strip of red litmus. How will you identify the three solutions? [Refer to TB page 17 Q3] A. i. Drop a piece of red litmus in each of the three test tubes. ii. The test tube where the litmus paper turns blue contains a basic solution. iii. Drop this blue litmus paper in the other two test tubes. iv. The test tube where this litmus paper turns red contains an acidic solution. v. The test tube where no colour change is observed in both the cases contains a neutral solution. SESSION 3. NEUTRALISATION AND SALTS 28

SESSION 1 3. ANIMAL FIBRE 1.1 Mind Map INTRODUCTION AND STORY OF SILK 1.2 Terminology i. Animal fibre – Animal fibers are natural fibers that consist largely of particular proteins. ii. Silkworm – The silkworm is the larva or caterpillar of the domesticated silkmoth, Bombyx mori. It is an economically important insect, being a primary producer of silk. iii. Cocoon – A protective case of silk or similar fibrous material spun by the larvae of moths and certain other insects as a cover for the pupa. iv. Mulberry –A small deciduous tree with broad leaves, native to East Asia and long cultivated elsewhere. v. Sericulture – Sericulture, or silk farming, is the rearing of silkworms for the production of silk. vi. Bombyx mori –Stocky creamy–white Asiatic moth found almost entirely under human care; the source of most of the silk commerce. vii. Reeling – Obtaining silk fibre from cocoons is called reeling. SESSION 1. INTRODUCTION AND STORY OF SILK 39

1.3 Key Concepts i. We get fibres from plants and animals. Cotton, Jute, Gongoora, Coconut fibres are some of the plant fibres, silk and wool are from animals. ii. Silk moths are locally called as ‘Chilakalu’, where as its scientific name is ‘Bombyx Mori’. iii. Serilculture is a process of obtaining silk starting from silk moth. iv. Silk worms eat mulberry leaves day and night to grow. When they grow bigger in size, it is transferred into big sized cane frames called “Chandrikalu” v. Caterpillar moves its mouth from side to side and secretes fibre–like substance. The net is woven completely to cover the body of the caterpillar which is called ‘Pattukay- alu’ (Cocoon). vi. Larve of silk worm is killed inside the cocoon by a process called stiffling. vii. Caterpillar of silkworm spins fiber which is mainly made up of two types of protein (sirisine and fibroin) and is very strong. viii. Obtaining silk fibre from cocoon is called reeling. It is done with special machines called ix. Silk yarn is woven to get silk fabric on handlooms or powerlooms. x. Banaras, Kanchipuram, Dharmavaram, Narayanpet, Kothakota, Pochampally are all types of silk fabrics. 1.4 Conceptual Understanding Q1. Why are cocoons stiffled? [Refer to TB page 26 Q4] A. Stifling of cocoons: i. The weavers kill the silkworm larvae inside the cocoons by a process called stiffling. ii. In this process, they put a lot of cocoons inside a steam oven for 10 to 15 minutes. iii. The cocoons have to be stiffled to kill the larva inside. iv. Otherwise, it cuts its way out after growing into a moth and spoils the cocoon. v. We will not be able to get a continuous thread of silk from such cocoons. vi. Thus we wont be able to obtain quality fibre for fabric. vii. Stiffling also helps to store the cocoons for a long time. Q2. What will happen, if cocoon is not boiled? [Refer to TB page 26 Q5] SESSION 1. INTRODUCTION AND STORY OF SILK 40

A. i. We boil the cocoons to kill the larvae. If this is not done, they open the cocoon after growing into a moth and spoil it. ii. Continuous silk fibres cannot be obtained from these cocoons. iii. Also, the caterpillar of silkworm spins the fibre which is mainly made up of two types of proteins, viz. sericin and fibroin. It is very strong. iv. The cocoons are to be boiled to loosen the fibre to be able to reel it. Q3. In sericulture industry, at which stages do silkworm weavers buy? Why do they do so? [Refer to TB page 26 Q1] A. i. Weavers buy silk yarn from reeling centres. In reeling centres, silk fibre is obtained from the cocoons. ii. The silk fibres are wound together to make yarn. Weavers buy this yarn and use it to make fabrics. iii. They buy yarn at this stage as it can be woven directly into fabrics like sarees. Q4. Which place in our state is called silk city? [Refer to TB page 26 Q2] A. Pochampally in our state is called the silk city. 1.5 Information Skills and Projects Q1. Observe designs on silk sarees, trace them in your notebook and make your own de- signs. [Refer to TB page 27 Q14] A. Students’ Activity. Q2. In East India silk is called pat. You may collect different pieces of silk fabric from a cloth store and write the names of the type of fabric and make a chart. [Refer to TB page 27 Q15] A. i. Some types of silk available at cloth shops are: ii. Mulberry silk: It is found in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. iii. Tasar silk: It is found in Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and Orissa. iv. Eri silk: It is found in the north eastern states, especially Assam and Bihar. v. Muga silk: It is found specifically is Assam. SESSION 1. INTRODUCTION AND STORY OF SILK 41

Scouring – Cleaning of fleece in a stream of water is called scouring. iv. Knitting –Knitting is the process of making fabric by using knitting needles to form interlocking loops and rings of woollen yarn. v. Bleaching –To remove colour or dirt by means of chemical agents or sunlight. vi. Weaving –A process to form fabric or a fabric item by interlacing long threads passing in one direction with others at a right angle to them. vii. Dyeing – Dyeing is the process of adding colour to textile products like fibers, yarns,and fabrics. viii. Warp threads – Woolen threads are stretched from the top of loom to the bottom. These are called warp threads. ix. Wool – The fine, soft, curly hair that forms the fleece of sheep and certain other animals. SESSION 2. STORY OF WOOL 43

2.3 Key Concepts i. Wool is obtained from hair of different types of animals like sheep, goat, yak, llama, camel, alpaca etc. ii. Wool is also called fleece or fur collectively. It is mainly composed of protein. iii. Removing of hair or fleece from the skin of a sheep is called shearing. iv. Sheared skin with hair is dipped in large tanks and stirred with a spade. The process of cleaning of hair to remove grease, dirt and dust is called washing or scouring. v. Unwanted materials like twigs or bits of leaves etc. that may be present with the wool are also separated out. This process is called sorting or wool classing. vi. The process of twisting wool into a thick and long thread is called spinning. vii. Knitting is the process of making fabric by using knitting needles to form interlocking oops and rings of woolen yarn. viii. Woolen threads are stretched from the top of loom to the bottom. These are called warp threads. 2.4 Conceptual Understanding Q1. Do you find any similarities between silk and wool weaving? What are they? [Refer to TB page 27 Q12] A. There are some similarities between silk and wool weaving. They are: i. In both cases we have the warp, the length wise threads arranged on looms. ii. In both cases, there are weft threads which go over one and under the adjacent warp thread alternately. iii. Both are woven on looms. Q2.
