An atom is the smallest particle of an element. It may or may not have independent existence. A
molecule is the smallest particle of a substance which is capable of independent existence.
Atoms:
The word atom comes from Greek word 'Atomos' meaning indivisible . An atom is a basic
building block for all matter in the universe.It is like if you want a language,you need alphabets.
Atoms are extremely small and are made up of a few even smaller particles. All atoms are made
up of a number of electrons, protons and neutrons.
Inside an Atom:
The protons are located in the center (which is known as nucleus) of an atom, each atom has at
least one proton. The neutrons also are located in the nucleus of the atom. The electrons are very
small particles located outside the nucleus.
Atoms fit together with other atoms to make up matter. It takes a lot of atoms to make up
anything. There are different kinds of atoms based on the number of electrons, protons, and
neutrons each atom contains. Different substances have different types of atoms. Each different
kind of atom makes up an element.
Molecules:
Any time two atoms join together, they make a molecule. All the stuff around you is made up of
molecules. This includes you! You are actually made up of trillions and trillions of different
types of molecules.
The atoms of certain elements readily bond with other atoms to form molecules. Examples of
such elements are oxygen and chlorine.

Types of rocks
There are 3 types of Rocks- Igneous Rocks, Sedimentary Rocks and Metamorphic Rocks .
Now we would learn how these rocks are formed. Let us tell you a secret ,if you know the
meaning of Igneous,Sediments & Metaphor then, understanding formation of rocks becomes
very easy.
Let's first learn about Igneous rocks. To understand Igneous rocks ,let's first know meaning of
Igneous .Igneous means resulting from or produced from fire. To understand it further let's first
understand volcano. Inside earth core ,there are lot of molted metals & minerals. These get
melted due to very hot temperature inside the earth. The melted material is called magma. It
puts lot of pressure on earth's surface. Sometimes earth's surface breaks & this magma comes
out.When it comes out, it is called lava.Some of magma can't come out & it settles inside the
earth .Whatever magma cools inside under the surface of earth ,it changes into Granite. It is a
kind of Igneous rock.The lava ,which comes out & it gets in touch with air, it cools down faster.
This cooled down down lava forms Basalt rocks. Basalt rocks are also igneous rocks. So there are
two main types of Igneous rocks, one which are formed when magma comes out ,which are
Basalt & others when magma cools down under surface of earth ,these are granite rocks.
Now let's move to 2nd type of Rocks .These are called sedimentary rocks.The word
sedimentary is made from sediments, which means Material that settles to the bottom of a liquid
(pause) .Take few stones & a glass of water. Put these stones in glass. See these settle down.This
settled down material is called sediments. It is a perfect example how sedimentary rocks are
formed.
Let's understand more. Sedimentary rocks are formed by the layers of sediments.Sediments are
small parts of rocks, dead animals or plants, which have been eroded by strong winds, strong
flow of water in rivers & glaciers.Most of these particles ultimately reach the sea.These get
deposited on the sea bed.As more & more of these particles settle on each other ,they press each
other & compression happens.The sediments at bottom change into sedimentary rocks.This
process takes thousands of years.
Sedimentary rocks have very clear different layers,these are known as beds or bedding planes
Limestone & chalks are two kinds of sedimentary rocks.Type of these rocks depend upon
sediments which get compressed in formation of these rocks. Like Limestone is formed by
compression of skeletons & shells of marine animals in the sea.
Sandstone is formed by compression of sand.You know coal is also a sedimentary rock. It is
formed by compression of dead trees, plants which are also called fossils.
Now let's learn about 3rd type of rocks.These are called Metamorphic rocks. Let's again focus
on names. Metamorphic is derived from word morph, which means to be transformed, to
change. Yes you understood right, metamorphic rocks are changed forms of igneous &
sedimentary rocks.
Metamorphic rocks are formed when other types of rocks are changed due to lot of heat or
pressure .See in this picture, lot of heat from molted magma & lot of pressure from upper layers
is causing few of the sedimentary rocks to change
Marble & slate are two types of metamorphic rocks. Marble is formed when limestone ,which is
a sedimentary rock ,comes under lot of pressure from above. Similarly Slate is formed when clay
is changed by heat & pressure.

Do you know how we understand something is hot or cold, something is sweet or bitter?
It is our nervous system ,which control all our senses like taste,touch,see,smell etc .Nervous
system controls all the actions of our body.
Nervous system has two parts -Central Nervous System & Peripheral Nervous System.
Central Nervous system is made of Brain & Spinal Cord .Peripheral nervous system consist of
many nerves ,which are spread through body .
Let's first understand Brain,its parts & what they do .Our brain is most complicated organ of
our body. It has 3 major part-Cerebellum,cerebrum & Brain Stem,which is also known as
Medulla.
Cerebrum is the biggest part of the brain.It controls our senses,our imagination & our
thoughts.So whatever we see ,touch ,taste ,smell ,think or imagine is controlled by Cerebrum.
2nd major part is cerebellum -It is known as little brain also.It controls our motion,balance or
learning new thing. YOU can walk without falling because of Cerebellum.Also it helps to learn
any new thing.
3rd major part is Medulla, it is also known as Brain stem.It does few things which are called
involuntary actions.It controls our digestion,heartbeat,breathing.These things happen
automatically in our body ,we don't have to put any effort here.
Peripheral Nervous system is made of many nerves ,which are present throughout the
body.The Peripheral nervous system has two functions- Some Nerves receive information like
when you taste something,these messages are carried to the brain by these nerves .The nerves
which take the message from senses to brain are called sensory nerves.Other nerves carry
message from brain to the body ,these are are called motor nerves. They carry instructions from
brain to the body on what action to take Like if eat a bitter chilly, your brain will tell you about
the bitterness ;which may lead to action of spitting.

As you know the planet earth is like a huge ball with the surface made up of land and water.If
you look at globe ,you would see that we can see only one side of the earth at a time.But if we can
stretch the surface to get a map it would look like this one.This shows entire surface of the earth.
The dark blue areas are water and rest of the area is land with mountains ,deserts & plains in it.
The whole land area of the earth is divided into 7 parts, these are called continents. The
continents are the earth's planet's large and continuous landmasses.These continents are North
America,Europe, Asia,Africa,South America,Antarctica and Australia.
Here is an easy way to remember these .Just remember the sentence "Erin Ate Nine Sticky
Apricots At Aprils.".Here E is for Europe,A is for Asia,N is for North America,S is for South
America,again an A here is for Africa ,another A for Australia & yet another A for Antarctica .So
remember "Erin Ate Nine Sticky Apricots At Aprils" and you will never forget the names of
continents.
Let's now learn about each continent to know more about these. Let's first know about Asia.Do
you know that it is the biggest continent. It is about one third of all land on the plant earth. And
also 6 out of every 10 people on the earth live here which is worlds' 60% of population.China and
India,worlds' biggest populated countries are in Asia.Also do you know 10 highest mountain
peaks of the world are in Asia.Mount Everest ,the highest mountain in the world is also in
Asia.You would be surprised to know that most of world's religions originated here like.
Hinduism,Islam,Christianity and Buddhism and many other religions started from here.
Africa. Half of the world's diamonds come from Africa.Also most of the chocolate ,which you
and I love comes from this continent which is around 60% of the total chocolate produced in the
world.You would be surprised to know that world's largest desert Sahara & world's largest river
Nile is also in Africa.It is the 2nd largest continent among 7 continents.It is also said first
humans lived here.It is situated on equator ,that is why it is very hot.
Australia:.You would be surprised to know that in Australian continent,there is only one country
which is Australia itself.Apart from kangaroo, there are many other unique animals in this
continent like koala,Emu .It also has a sizable sheep population too.They say there 14 times
more sheep in Australia than humans.Australia is also the largest island in the world . In
Australia, 75% area is just flat desert. South America :Do you know about Anaconda snake! It is
found only in South America, it is the largest snake in the world.In this continent, huge coffee is
also produced.Brazil a country in South America is world's largest producer of coffee. This
continent has the world's largest river Amazon , world's largest mountain range and world's
largest salt lake.It also has world's highest volcanoes & world's highest waterfall.
Antarctica :98% of this continent is covered with ice.That is why it is called white continent or
frozen continent.It is the world's coldest,windiest,driest and highest continent.Like deserts,there
is very less rain here,that is why it is also called cold-desert.There are no villages or cities here,
only scientists live here for research.
Europe:It is the only continent with no deserts.World's smallest country Vatican city is in this
continent,Pope lives here.Most of the countries in Europe have a single currency named
Euro.World's largest country by area, Russia is situated in this continent.Other important
countries are Britain,France and Germany.Roman and Greek civilizations started here.This
continent played a central role in two world-wars as well as most of the industrial revolution
happened here.
North America: It is the home of world's largest innovative companies like Apple,Google and
Facebook.It is also known as new world as it was discovered very late.You see this owl,its name
is Elf,it is world's smallest owl .It is found in this continent.It is world's largest producer of
maize,wheat and soybean. World's third longest river Mississippi is in North America.
