A. How did weather change on the way from Mohangarh to Mount Abu? Discuss and write.
Answer:
Discussion and Explanation:
Mohangarh (Weather in Jaisalmer)-

• At the beginning of the trip the children felt hot and dry weather conditions.
• There was bright sunshine and hot winds which is characteristic of the desert region.
• Dust and sand were flying in the air due to which children started rubbing their eyes, everyone was feeling thirsty again and again.
• There were high sand dunes and arid landscape spread all around.
• This was a sign of summer season with high temperature and low humidity.

While travelling by train from Jaisalmer-

• As the train departed from Jaisalmer, children could see only desert landscape (yellow and golden sand).
• As the train moved further some green plants and trees were also visible.
• This change indicates that the weather and environment were becoming less dry and greener.
• As we reached near Abu Road, the weather started getting slightly cold. As the sun set, a cold breeze started blowing, due to which the children took out their shawls and sweaters.
• This was an indication of increased coolness and humidity in the weather.

Abu Road to Mount Abu (Journey by bus)-

• As the bus started moving towards the heights of the mountains, the air has become cooler.
• There were lush green forests, tall trees, lakes and green hills all around.
• The atmosphere was calm, moist and refreshing which was a complete contrast of Jaisalmer’s climate.
• Some children felt slight cold and wore sweaters.
• This indicated the beginning of cold weather with low temperature humidity.

Conclusion-Children experienced contrasting season (hot and cold) in the same state (Rajasthan) which shows the temporary nature of weather and the impact of seasons.

What is the difference between Weather and Season?
Answer:
Weather is short term atmospheric condition of a place, such as temperature, rainfall, wind etc. A season is a long term climatic condition that repeats at a certain time of the year such as summer season, winter season etc.
Weather is temporary and keeps changing from time to time while seasons are part of seasonal cycles.

Answer:
Seasonal change affects plants and animals such as some trees shed their leaves during summers, flowers bloom in spring season. Animals also change their behaviour according to the season. Such as some animals hibernate in winter. In my experience, frogs become more active and their voices increases during rainy season.

Answer in ten to twelve sentences:

Question 1.
What is the effect of different seasons of India on our lives? Share you experience.
Answer:
There are three main seasons in India-Summer, winter and rainy season. These seasons affect our lives. In summer, we eat light food and wear cotton clothes. In winter season we eat hot food and oily things to keep ourselves warm. We use bon fires and heaters, where as we eat hot and dry food. We avoid going wet places. We use umbrellas and rain coat. Hence it is evident that different seasons affect our lives. According to me each season is special in its own way. It teaches us enjoy nature.

Question 2.
Is the unusual changes in seasons a cause of concern? Answer with reason.
Answer:
Unusual changes in the seasons such as irregular rainfall, extreme heat or long winters are a cause of concern. These changes can be result of climate change. Climate change is the result of human activities such as deforestation, use of fossil fules etc. Irregular rainfall can destroy crops and leading to food crisis. Extreme heat causes heat waves which is harmful for health.

For example, in recent years summer temperature in India have exceeded 45°C, much higher than normal. On the other hand long winters or unexpected cold also affect crops and human life. These changes also harm biodiversity as plants and animals depend on seasonal cycles.

Question 3.
Draw a picture of your favourite season and show the activities you like to do in that season. Like eating ice-cream in summer, sitting in the warm sun in winter and making paper boats in the rainy season.
Answer:
Students will do themselves.

Question 4.
“If you had to go anywhere for a day in winter, summer or rainy season, where would you like to go?” Discuss this in the class.
Answer:

• Student 1: If I have to go on a trip for a day in winter, I would like to go to Manali in Himachal Pradesh. There I can enjoy skiing and snow boarding. The snow covered landscape there looks very beautiful in the winter season.
• Student 2: If I have to go on a trip in summer, I would like to go to the beaches of Goa. There I can swim in the sea and relax on the beach. The beach there looks very attractive in summer seasons.
• Student 3: If I have to go for a trip during the rainy season, I would like to go to the western Ghats of Kerala. There I can enjoy waterfalls and lush green forests. The natural beauty there looks very captivating during the rainy seasons.

Project work-

Question 1.
Find out which fruits and vegetable are available in which season and why?
Answer:
There are three main seasons in India-summer, rainy, and winter. Different fruits and vegetables are available in different seasons as different vegetations need specific temperature, moisture and soil qualities for their growth. Seasonal fruits and vegetables are fresh, nutritious and environment friendly.
Following is the description of various fruits and vegetables available in various seasons-
Summer Season

• – Fruits-Mango, watermelon, litchi, peach and wood apple.
• Vegetables-Cucumber, ladyfinger, brinjal, tomato, bottlegourd.
• Reason of availability-Summers have high temperatures and bright sunshine, which is perfect for growing juicy fruits and
• vegetables that have high fibre and water content. These fruits and vegetables keep the body hydrated and provide relief from the heat.

Rainy Season

• Fruits-Berries, pears, apples, pomegranates, guava.
• Vegetables-Bittergourd, ridgegourd, pointedgourd, pumpkin.

RBSE Class 5 EVS Chapter 6 Notes Weather and Seasons

Travel Experience:

Starting from Mohangarh-Children gathered in the school premises and their bus left from Mohangarh in Jaisalmer. The children felt the hot sun, strong hot wind, high sand dunes and they also saw wind mills which produce electricity. Due to dust and sand, they started rubbing their eyes and everyone was feeling thirsty again and again.

Travel by Train-The journey started by train from Jaisalmer. The yellow sand of the desert gradually transformed into green trees and plants. Children felt cold weather near Abu Road. As the sun set, a cool breeze started blowing, children wore shawls and sweaters.

Arrival in Mount Abu-Children reached Mount Abu by bus from Abu Road. They saw green forests, tall trees, lakes and green hills all around. The atmosphere was calm, moist and refreshing. It was opposite to the hot and dry weather of Jaisalmer. The children decided to write their experiences in their diary.

Weather and its types:

• Types of weather-Summer, winter, rainy weather.
• Characteristic of weather-Temperature, clouds, humidity, speed of wind and direction.
• Weather chart-A chart that describes or gives information about weather in which symbols (such as white, dark clouds, rain, dew, wind direction, heat, cold) are used.

Weather and Season:

• Season-When a weather lasts for a long time (such as 2-3 months) then it is called a ‘season’.
• Changing weather-Weather can change everyday while seasons (summer, winter, rainy seasons) remain stable for 2-3 months.

Example

• Summer-Bright sunshine, high temperature, dry winds.
• Winter-Cold, low temperature, dry and moist winds.

Adaptations and Seasons:

Causes of Adaptations

• Change in temperature-Sweating in summer, protection from cold in winters.
• Availability of food-Some creatures migrate or hibernate due to lack of food in winters (such as-lizard) and creature like-snakes, frogs etc. hide in ground.
• Availability of water-Less activity in body to save water in summers.
• Reproduction and growth-Reproduce in a particular season.
• Livelihood and lifestyle-Human beings also change their clothing, food habits and daily activities according to the weather.

Adaptation according to different seasons-

Summer Season

• Animals-Camel stores food as fat, dogs and wolves keep their bodies cool by sticking out their tongue, some organisms go into hibernation.
• Plants-Cactus saves water by converting its leaves into thorns, mango, litchi ripe in summers.
• Humans-Wear light clothes, drink cold drinks, avoid going out in the afternoon.

Winter Season

• Animals-Fat layer protects from cold (Polar bears, penguins), hibernation (Bears, snakes and squirrels), migration (Siberian cranes).
• Plants-Evergreen trees remain green (cedar, pines), whereas some trees shed their leaves (gulmohar).
• Humans-Wear woolen clothes, eat hot food, use bonfires and heaters.

Rainy Season

• Animals-Frogs, earthworms become more active, mosquitoes, insects breed rapidly, water birds use their waterproof feathers.
• Plants-Paddy and sugarcane grow rapidly, moss and mold are common on wet surfaces.
• Humans-Use umbrellas, rain coats, avoid wet places, eat hot and dry food.

Scientific basis of climate and weather

• Weather pattern are caused by the sun.
• Long term averages of weather patterns create climate zone.
• Changes in the earth’s rotation or axial tilt affect weather patterns.

Conclusion:

• Weather and seasons both affect plants, animals and humans.
• Adaptation is necessary for the survival of all living beings.
• Through the travel experience, children experienced different climates and natural environments in the same state.
