1.2 Terminology i. Evaporation – The process of water changing into water vapour is called evaporation. ii. Solid form – The dense substance formed by the freezing of water to the solid state is known as the solid form of water. iii. Liquid form – Water (chemical formula: ) is a transparent liquid form which forms the world’s streams, lakes, oceans and rain, and is the major constituent of the fluids of organisms. iv. Gaseous form – The gaseous form of water is water vapour which is present in the air around us. 1.3 Key Concepts i. Rain is a natural phenomenon occurring in our daily life. ii. Water falling in drops from atmosphere is generally termed as rain. iii. Water is present in three states i.e. solid, liquid and gas. These three forms are inter–convertible. iv. When sunlight falls on water or when water is heated, it gets vaporized and mixes with the air. v. This process of conversion of liquid water to gaseous form (water vapor) is called as evaporation. 1.4 Conceptual Understanding Q1. Explain the relationship between heat of the sun and evaporation. [Refer to TB page 28 Q4] A. i. Evaporation is a natural process which takes place on the Earth. ii. Water evaporates continuously from the surfaces of water bodies like seas, oceans, rivers, ponds etc., and changes into water vapour due to the heat sup- plied by sunlight. iii. If the sun’s heat is more, water evaporates more. SESSION 1. FORMS OF WATER 58
Q2. Which of the following days is more suitable for drying of washed clothes? Explain why? [Refer to TB page 29 Q7] a) Windy day b) Cloudy day A. A Windy day is more suitable for drying of washed clothes than a cloudy day as rate of evaporation increases with wind and clothes dry up faster. 1.5 Information Skills and Projects Q1. Visit your school library or Internet, collect information about (Kashmir) Dal Lake regard- ing in which season water in the lake becomes ice and snow fall is very high and why the place attracts more tourists? [Refer to TB page 29 Q9] A. i. During winter season, the temperature sometimes reaches less than 1°C, freezing the lake. ii. Heavy snow fall may occur during the latter part of winter. iii. A thick blanket of snow over Srinagar is giving it a wonderful look attracting more tourists. SESSION 1. FORMS OF WATER 59
SESSION 2 CONDENSATION, CLOUDS AND RAIN 2.1 Mind Map 2.2 Terminology i. Cloud –A visible mass of condensed watery vapour floating in the atmosphere, typi- cally high above the general level of the ground. ii. Condensation – The process of conversion of water vapour into water is called condensation. iii. Atmosphere –The envelope of gases surrounding the earth or another planet. SESSION 2. CONDENSATION, CLOUDS AND RAIN 60
iv. Stream –A small narrow river. v. Droplets –A very small drop of a liquid. vi. Rain – Rain is condensed moisture from the atmosphere that drops on the Earth as water. vii. Hailstones – Sometimes big drops of water solidify into ice and fall as pieces of ice known as hailstones. viii. Breeze – A light current of air; a gentle wind. ix. Wind –A natural movement of air of any velocity 2.3 Key Concepts i. Clouds are formed by natural heating up of water in ponds, lakes, rivers by sun through a process called evaporation. ii. The clouds thus formed may cause rain by a process called condensation. iii. Condensation can be defined as a process of conversion of water vapor to liquid water. iv. When the size of the water drops increases further it becomes difficult for the cloud to hold them and water drops begin to fall. This is called ‘Rain’ 2.4 Conceptual Understanding Q1. When do clouds become cool? [Refer to TB page 28 Q3] A. i. The clouds formed on the surface of the different water bodies do not stay there. ii. They start to move from one place to another in the direction of winds. iii. As more clouds come together they become loaded with water vapour. iv. Winds bring the clouds from the sea to the land. v. The colder air in the upper layers of the atmosphere cools the clouds. Q2. Why do we experience cloud like smoke near our mouth while we speak during the winter season? [Refer to TB page 28 Q5] SESSION 2. CONDENSATION, CLOUDS AND RAIN 61
A. i. In winter, the air in our atmosphere is very cool as compared to the air coming out from our mouth. ii. Water vapour present in the air coming out from our mouth gets cooled suddenly to form very tiny droplets. iii. These tiny droplets concentrated in a limited area, appear like smoke or a small cloud near our mouth. Q3. Correct the given sentence if necessary “If the size of the water drops decreases in the clouds, they can no longer hold the water drops.” [Refer to TB page 28 Q6] A. The sentence should be like this: “ If the size of the water drops increases in the clouds, they can no longer hold the water drops”. Q4. Which of the following statements are right or wrong [Refer to TB page 29 Q8] a) Evaporation takes place quickly when more heat is supplied. b) For condensation of water, it should be cooled. c) Water vapour is obtained from water by evaporation. A. All the statements are right a) Evaporation takes place quickly when more heat is supplied. b) For condensation of water, it should be cooled. c) Water vapour is obtained from water by evaporation. Q5. Why do clouds, once seen at a particular point, may not be there after some time? [Refer to TB page 29 Q11] A. i. The clouds formed on the surface of the different water bodies do not stay there. ii. They start to move from one place to another in the direction of the wind iii. As more clouds come together they become loaded with water vapour. iv. Winds bring the clouds from the sea to the land. v. That is why clouds once seen at a particular point, may not be there after some time. SESSION 2. CONDENSATION, CLOUDS AND RAIN 62
2.5 Asking Questions and Making Hypothesis Q1. Revanth blew air from his mouth onto the mirror while he was getting ready to go to school. He observed that the image in the mirror was not clear. Do you have any doubts to raise in this situation. Prepare questions on your doubts. [Refer to TB page 29 Q12] A. i. What happened to the mirror? Why is it not giving a clear image? ii. What is there in that Revanth blow from his mouth? iii. What is the role of the mirror in becoming blurred with the air blown by Revanth? iv. Why did the dampness on the mirror make the image blur? Q2. Why does the driver of a vehicle wipe the glass inside, even if the wiper is working on the outer surface of the glass when he drives in rain? [Refer to TB page 29 Q15] A. i. Wiper on the outer surface of the glass wipes the water falling on the outer surface of the glass. ii. Due to the condensation of water vapour inside the car the surface of the glass inside the car becomes damp and the driver cannot see the objects outside the vehicle through this glass. iii. So the driver wipes the glass inside the vehicle to remove the dampness formed on it. Q3. If condensation fails to occur in nature, what happens? [Refer to TB page 29 Q14] A. i. If condensation fails to occur the air will not get cooled. ii. As a result, the vapour form of water will not turn into liquid form. iii. Hence, we will not get rains. Q4. If it is raining in a village, you dont find rain in another village. Why do you think is it happening so? [Refer to TB page 29 Q14] A. Rain occurs when a cloud is holding too much water. The water condenses, forms droplets and falls.The reason it rains in some parts is because the clouds that are over the area of no rain do not contain enough water for it to rain. 2.6 Appreciation and Aesthetic Sense, Values Q1. How do you feel when you see the beauty of Rainbow in the sky? Express your feelings in the form of a song or a poem. [Refer to TB page 29 Q10] A.

SESSION 3 WATER CYCLE 3.1 Mind Map 3.2 Terminology i. Water cycle – The circulation of water into water vapour by evaporation, water vapour to clouds and clouds to rain by condensation is known as “water cycle”. ii. Deforestation – Deforestation is the clearing of trees, transforming a forest into cleared land. iii. Droughts –A prolonged period of abnormally low rainfall, leading to a shortage of water. SESSION 3. WATER CYCLE 64
3.3 Key Concepts i. The circulation of water into gaseous form (water vapour) by evaporation, water vapour to clouds and clouds to liquid form (rain) by condensation is known as “water cycle”. ii. Rain water from clouds reach oceans and lakes through water cycle and this is a continuous process. iii. Now a days the atmospheric conditions are not favourable for clouds to get cooled. iv. Consequently, there is a decrease in rainfall. 3.4 Conceptual Understanding Q1. How are clouds formed? [Refer to TB page 28 Q1] A. i. On a warm day, the sun heats up the ground as well as the water in seas, oceans, rivers, ponds etc. This water converts into water vapour by the process of evapo- ration. ii. This water vapour rises up into the atmosphere. iii. As we move away from the surface of the earth, the air becomes cooler. Hence, when water vapour reaches higher levels it condenses due to contact with cool air and forms small drops on water droplets. iv. These tiny droplets remain floating in air at higher levels of the atmosphere and appear as clouds. Q2. How does the rain water reach from clouds to rivers or oceans? [Refer to TB page 28 Q2] A. i. When it rains ponds, lakes etc., are filled with water. ii. Water from rainfall runs down as small streams. iii. These small streams join together and make bigger streams. iv. These bigger streams join the rivers. v. The rivers flow down to seas and oceans. vi. Some of these rain water seeps into the ground and becomes ground water. SESSION 3. WATER CYCLE 65
