Note to the teacher
As we present this revised edition of the Science Textbook, we would like to express
our deepest gratitude to the learners and the teaching community for their enthusiastic
responses.
In science some concepts could be subject to change from time to time as new theories
and principles are constantly being evolved.
We have tried to present facts and concepts of science (both concrete and abstract)
in a visually appealing manner without detracting from the content.
Learning by experience and doing is now accepted as the basis of science education.
These activities should be regarded as a means for open-ended investigation rather than
for verification of principles/content given in the textbook are designed to facilitate low cost
activities and experiments using locally available materials. With a view to streamlining
the activities, we have now segregated them into three groups:
y I Do - activities to be done by an individual learner.
y We Do - activities to be done by a group of learners.
y We Observe - activities to be demonstrated by the teacher.
The third group of activities have a higher degree of difficulty or require careful handling
as it may involve dealing with chemicals, electricity etc.,
The More to know snippets in the text represents some unusual and interesting facts
or information in which the students need not be examined.
The evaluation section is nothing but another space for learning in a different manner.
As the focus is on understanding, rote learning is to be discouraged thoroughly. Application
of learnt ideas, problem solving skills and critical thinking is to be encouraged. There
could be scope for more than one answer to a question, which should be acknowledged
always.
To facilitate further reference, books and websites have been suggested at the end
of each lesson. Suggestions and constructive criticism are most welcome. Valuable
suggestions will be duly incorporated.

All around us, we see different organisms
belonging to different species, differing
from one another. Variation may be defined
as differences in the characteristics among
the individuals of the same species,
(A) Intra specific variation or among the
different genera (B) Intergeneric variation
or among different species (C) Inter
specific variation. No two individuals are
identical. Asexual reproduction produces

at home and conducted various

his theory of evolution. He did not know

he would have contributed more. These

Life cycle of malarial parasite Plasmodium: The sexual stage of Plasmodium takes
place in female Anopheles mosquito whereas the asexual stage occurs in man. When a
female Anopheles mosquito bites an infected person, these parasites enter the mosquito
and undergo further development in the body of the mosquito. The parasites multiply
within the body of the mosquito to form sporozoites that are stored in the salivary glands
of the mosquito. When these mosquitoes bite a healthy person, the sporozoites (the
infectious stage) are introduced into his body. They multiply within the liver cells first and
enter the Red Blood Cells(RBC) of man, resulting in the rupture of RBC. This results in
the release of toxic substance called haemozoin which is responsible for the chill and high
fever, recurring every three to four days.

MORE TO KNOW
What kind of Immunity does a child get when it is breast fed ? MOTHERS MILK IS THE
BEST FOOD. Antibodies or Immunoglobulins are found in breast milk. Through breast
milk, antibodies are passed on to the baby. Bottle fed infants do not have the advantage
of fighting the ingested pathogens on their own until the antibodies are produced in
them. A mother should suckle the infant for at least six months.
Medical establishment knows that infants who are breastfed contract fewer infections
than bottle fed infants. Breast milk protects the child against bacteria like Escherichia coli,
Salmonella, Shigella, Streptococci, Staphylococci, Pneumococci and viruses like
Polioviruses and Rotaviruses.

Budding
In Hydra, a bud develops into an
outgrowth due to repeated cell division at
one specific site. These buds develop into
tiny individuals and when fully matured, get Shoot
detached from the parent body to become
new independent individuals.

Simple fruits
A simple fruit is developed from a single ovary with a monocarpellary or multicarpellary,
syncarpous gynoecium.
Based on the nature of the pericarp, the simple fruits are classified into fleshy fruits and
dry fruits.
Simple fleshy fruits
In simple fleshy fruits, the pericarp is succulent and juicy when fully ripe. The fleshy
fruits are indehiscent in nature. The pericarp is made up of three layers, namely epicarp,
mesocarp and endocarp. There are mainly two types of fleshy fruits Baccate and
Drupaceous. Baccate is further classified into berry, hesperidium, pome and pepo.
Baccate:

1. Berry - Tomato
It is a one or many - seeded fruit. Epicarp is thin and
mesocarp is fleshy. They form a pulp which is edible
and the seeds are embedded in it. It develops from a
bicarpellary, syncarpous, superior ovary.
2.
Hesperidium - Orange It develops from m ulticarpellary, superior ovary with
axile placentation. The epicarp is thick, leathery and
contains oil glands. The whitish spongy layer lining
the epicarp is called mesocarp. The endocarp forms
distinct chambers. Juicy hairs produced from the
endocarp is the edible part.
3. Pome - Apple
The fruit develops from a pentacarpellary syncarpous
inferior ovary with many seeds. The thalamus
becomes fleshy and develops into a fruit which is
edible. The true fruit containing seeds remain inside.
4. Pepo - Cucumber

5. Drupaceous: Drupe - Mango
It is a one - seeded fleshy fruit and develops
from a monocarpellary ovary. The pericarp is
differentiated into outer skinny epicarp, fleshy
middle mesocarp and stony inner endocarp. Due
to the presence of a stony endocarp, the fruit is
also known as stone fruit.
2. Follicle - Calotropis
It develops from a bicarpellary, syncarpous,
superior ovary. It is like a legume fruit, but the
pericarp dehisces along one suture only. e.g.

3. Cypsela - Tridax
Schizocarpic fruits
At maturity, these fruits break into many one - seeded parts called mericarps. The

indehiscent mericarps e.g. Coriandrum.
3. Regma - Castor
It develops from a tricarpellary syncarpous superior
ovary and breaks up into three one - seeded cocci
e.g. Castor.
Aggregate Fruit
It is developed from a single flower with a multicarpellary, apocarpous, superior ovary.
Each free carpel develops into a fruitlet. Hence, the aggregate fruit has a cluster of fruitlets
attached to a common stalk e.g. Polyalthia.
In Annona squamosa (custard apple), the margin of the matured ovaries of carpels
after fertilization (fruitlets) are united and appears like a single fruit.
