Class VI Science: Observations Around Us

Table 2.1: Observations of Different Plants Around Us

S. No.	Local Name of Plant	Stem	Leaves (Shape/Arrangement)	Flowers	Any Other Observations
1	Common grass	Soft and thin	A single leaf grows alternatively from different points on the stem	-	Green leaves
2	Tulsi	Hard and thin	Pair of leaves in opposite directions	Pinkish purple	Medicinal properties
3	Hibiscus	Hard	Oval, alternate arrangement	Red	Attractive flowers
4	Neem	Hard and thick	Serrated, alternate arrangement	White	Leaves with smooth surface
5	Mango	Hard and thick	Lance-shaped, alternate arrangement	Yellowish	Fruit-bearing tree

Observations based on a nature walk (Activity 2.1). Additional entries (e.g., Mango) align with common plants and their features as per the chapter.

Table 2.2: Observations of Different Animals Around Us

Name of the Animal	Place Where They Live	Food They Eat	The Way They Move Around	Any Other Observations
Crow	Tree	Insects	Fly and walk	Carrying a twig in its beak
Ant	Nest in soil and burrow	Leaves, seeds, and insects	Crawl	Has six legs
Cow	Fields or farms	Grasses, leaves	Walk	Herbivorous mammal
Pigeon	Tree or buildings	Seeds, grains	Fly and walk	Coos distinctively
Fish	Water (ponds, rivers)	Plankton, small fish	Swim	Streamlined body

Based on Activity 2.1 observations. Additional entries (e.g., Pigeon, Fish) reflect common animals and their traits as per the chapter.

Table 2.3: Grouping of Plants Based on Height and Nature of Stem

S. No.	Name of the Plant	Height	Nature of Stem (Green/Brown)	Nature of Stem (Tender/Hard)	Nature of Stem (Thick/Thin)	Appearance of Branches (Close to Ground)	Appearance of Branches (Higher Up)	Name of Plant Group
1	Mango	Tall	Brown	Hard	Thick	-	Yes	Tree
2	Rose	Medium	Brown	Hard	Thin	Yes	-	Shrub
3	Tomato	Short	Green	Tender	Thin	Yes	-	Herb
4	Hibiscus	Medium	Brown	Hard	Thin	Yes	-	Shrub
5	Neem	Tall	Brown	Hard	Thick	-	Yes	Tree

Based on Activity 2.4. Additional entries (e.g., Hibiscus, Neem) align with plant grouping criteria from Section 2.2.1.

Table 2.4: Types of Leaf Venation and Roots

S. No.	Name of the Plant	Type of Leaf Venation (Reticulate/Parallel)	Type of Root (Fibrous/Tap)
1	Lemongrass	Parallel	Fibrous
2	Sadabahar (Periwinkle)	Reticulate	Tap
3	Marigold	Reticulate	Tap
4	Wheat	Parallel	Fibrous
5	Chickpea	Reticulate	Tap

Based on Activity 2.7. Additional entries (e.g., Marigold, Wheat, Chickpea) reflect the relationship between venation and root types from Section 2.2.1.

Table 2.5: Movements in Animals and Their Body Parts Involved

S. No.	Name of the Animal	Type of Movement	Body Parts Used for Movement
1	Ant	Crawl	Legs
2	Goat	Walks and jumps	Legs
3	Pigeon	Walks and flies	Legs and wings
4	Housefly	Walks and flies	Legs and wings
5	Fish	Swim	Fins

Based on Activity 2.9. Additional entry (Fish) aligns with animal movement observations from Section 2.2.2.

Table 2.6: Animals and Plants Found in Different Surroundings

S. No.	In the Desert	On Mountains	In the Ocean	In the Forest	Any Other Region
1	Camel	Deodar tree	Fish	Lion	Rhododendron (Hills)
2	Cactus	Pine tree	Whale	Tiger	Lemongrass (Grasslands)
3	Lizard	Mountain goat	Sea turtle	Deer	Sadabahar (Gardens)
4	Snake	Rhododendron	Shark	Monkey	Water lily (Ponds)
5	Scorpion	Snow leopard	Dolphin	Bear	Lotus (Lakes)

Based on Activity 2.10. Additional entries (e.g., Pine tree, Tiger, Lotus) reflect diverse habitats from Section 2.3.

Question 9: Plant Grouping Based on Seed and Root Type

9. Based on the information in the table, find out examples of these plants for each group.

Group	Type of Seed	Type of Root	Examples
A	Dicot	Taproot	Chickpea, Mustard, Sadabahar
B	Monocot	Fibrous roots	Wheat, Maize, Lemongrass

(a) Other similarities of Group A (Dicot plants): Reticulate venation in leaves.

(b) Other similarities of Group B (Monocot plants): Parallel venation in leaves.
