Inside the Lab – C Make sure you do these activities only with the help of your teacher or an adult. Activity C1: Roller You will need: four bottle caps, a straw, a long cylindrical rod or toothpick, clay, empty match box, Fevicol You need to: 1) make holes on the four bottle caps with the help of your teacher or parents. The hole should be big enough to let the rod or toothpick pass through. 2) insert the rod or toothpick inside the straw. (The straw should be shorter in length than the rod.) 3) place the two bottle caps at both the ends of the rod. 4) seal both the ends with clay. Let it dry (preferably in the sun). 5) do the same with the other two bottle caps. Now you have four wheels of your roller. 6) place the empty match box in the middle of both the straws. Stick it with Fevicol. Then let it dry for some time. This will make the body of your roller. Your roller is now ready.

Activity C2: Rain Gauge A rain gauge is used to measure the amount of rain falling over a period of time. Let us make our own rain gauge. You will need: an empty two-litre plastic bottle, scissors, sticky tape, ruler, paper, pencil You can also use a flat, straight sided jar to avoid the step of cutting the bottle and adding stones. (Always use scissors with the help of your teacher or parents.) You need to: 1) c ut the top of the bottle. 2) p lace some stones in the bottom of the bottle. This will make the bottom of the bottle straight so that you can measure the level of water easily. 3) turn the cut top upside down and tape it to the bottle step 1 as shown below. 4) use a ruler and marker pen to draw a scale on the bottle. step 2 step 3 step 4 5) p our water into the bottle until it reaches the bottom marking on the scale. This finishes your rain gauge. 6) put your rain gauge outside in the open and away from trees. 7) c heck how much water is filled in the bottle after the rain shower. Write down the amount of rain collected in your weather diary. 84 12/16/2017 6:40:56 PM VJ3_SPPNS_REV_SB_GG1_MTB_.in9d7b 8894 387552586-Passport-G1-Textbook-EVS-FY.pdf___88 / 88
