Activities: Worksheets on Air and Water
Living things need air to breathe
Moving air is called Wind
A gentle wind is called Breeze
A strong fast wind is called a Storm
A very strong wind is called Gale
A weather cock or wind vane is used to know the direction of the wind. At airports we use wind sock to know the direction of the wind. When aeroplanes fly in the direction of the wind , it saves fuel.
Wind makes windmill work. They are used to generate wind energy which is used to grind grains, pump water and make electricity.

Earth is made up of hard matter called rocks. They come in different shapes, colour and size. Rocks are found under the soil, in rivers and seas. They are solid material made up of one or more minerals.
Rocks can be hard ( granite) or soft (chalk)
Granite :
Granite is a light-colored igneous rock with grains large enough to be visible with the unaided eye.
It is the most common igneous rock found on the Earth’s surface
Granite is composed mainly of quartz and fedspar with minor amounts of mica and other minerals. This mineral composition usually gives granite a red, pink, gray, or white color with dark mineral grains visible throughout the rock .

Help in exchange of gases
Carries out photosynthesis
Apex : Tip of leaf
