Polygons:
Polygon, In geometry, any closed curve consisting of a set of line segments (sides) connected to
each other.
Circles and shapes that include curves are not polygons - a polygon, by definition, is made up of
straight lines.
Term 1- Grade 5 Compiled class notes
Regular Polygon is a polygon that is equiangular (all angles are equal in measure) and equilateral
(all sides have the same length)
For example- Square
Irregular Polygon is a polygon which has all its sides of different lengths and all its angles of
unequal(different) measures
For example- Rectangle
Triangles:
A triangle is a polygon with three edges and three vertices.
There are three types of triangle based on the length of the sides: equilateral, isosceles, scalene
and right angle triangle.
Equilateral triangle
In an equilateral triangle, all the lengths of the sides are equal. In such a case, each of the interior
angles will have a measure of 60 degrees. Since the angles of an equilateral triangle are the same,
it is also known as an equiangular triangle.
Term 1- Grade 5 Compiled class notes
Isosceles triangle
In an isosceles triangle, the lengths of two of the three sides are equal. So, the angles opposite the
equal sides are equal to each other. In other words, an isosceles triangle has two equal sides and
two equal angles.
Scalene triangle
A scalene triangle has all side lengths of different measures. No side will be equal in length to any
of the other sides in such a triangle. In a scalene triangle, all the interior angles are also different.

Points to remember
1. Boiling point is the temperature at which liquid starts boiling. It is the highest
temperature of any liquid.
WATER CYCLE
The water cycle is a continuous cycle where water evaporates to form clouds, falls to
the earth as precipitation, and then evaporates again. This cycle is repeated and is
never-ending. The water cycle ensures that water is constantly moving and changing
Term 1- Grade 5 Compiled class notes
from one state to another (solid to liquid to gas). This results in a constant supply of
water on Earth. Nearly all the Earth’s water is contained in the oceans, but only 3 % of
it is fresh water. Thus, our water supply is dependent on the water cycle.
Stage 1: Evaporation/Transpiration
Evaporation occurs when energy from the Sun heats up large water bodies such as
streams, lakes, seas and oceans and turns water into water vapor. Transpiration is
the process where plants lose water through their leaves into the surrounding air.
Thus, plants also play a part in the water cycle.
Stage 2: Condensation
Condensation occurs when water vapour in the air turns into water again. Water
vapour in the air rises as a gas until it meets cooler air. The water vapour is then
turned into tiny water droplets. These water droplets gather to form clouds.
Stage 3: Precipitation
As more water vapor condenses, the tiny droplets of water in the clouds combine to
form larger droplets. Precipitation occurs when these water droplets become too
large and heavy for the clouds to hold. At this stage, the force of gravity pulls the
water down to Earth in the form of rain, snow, hail and sleet.
When it rains, water falls into oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, ponds and on land. When
this happens, water will seep into the Earth. This seeped water will then infiltrate the
underground water systems and will be taken in by plants and trees through their
roots.
The remaining water flows towards the nearby water bodies and becomes the [art of
water cycle again.
Term 1- Grade 5 Compiled class notes
When salt dissolves in water it does not disappear. The salt molecules will occupy the
intermolecular spaces between the water molecules and hence blend in to form a
solution upon stirring or mixing.
Can salt then be separated from salt solutions?
Yes it can be. One of the most common methods is through evaporation.
If sea water is left to evaporate naturally, overtime you will see the formation of salt
crystals and the complete evaporation of water. Much of the salt that we use in daily
life comes from the sea water.
Term 1- Grade 5 Compiled class notes
When a liquid evaporates from a solution, a solid that is dissolved in it is left behind.
In the case of salt solution , leaving water in the salt solution to evaporate will result
in salt crystals being formed.

The Exxon Valdez oil spill was a man-made disaster that occurred when Exxon Valdez,
an oil tanker owned by the Exxon Shipping Company, spilled 11 million gallons of
crude oil into Alaska’s Prince William Sound on March 24, 1989. It was the worst oil
spill in U.S. history until the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010. The Exxon Valdez oil
slick covered 1,300 miles of coastline and killed hundreds of thousands of seabirds,
otters, seals and whales. Nearly 30 years later, pockets of crude oil remain in some
locations. After the spill, Exxon Valdez returned to service under a different name,
operating for more than two decades as an oil tanker and ore carrier.
On the evening of March 23, 1989, Exxon Valdez left the port of Valdez, Alaska, bound
for Long Beach, California, with 53 million gallons of Prudhoe Bay crude oil onboard.
At four minutes after midnight on March 24, the ship struck Bligh Reef, a well-known
navigation hazard in Alaska’s Prince William Sound.
Term 1- Grade 5 Compiled class notes
The impact of the collision tore open the ship’s hull, causing some 11 million gallons
of crude oil to spill into the water.
At the time, it was the largest single oil spill in U.S. waters. Initial attempts to contain
the oil failed, and in the months that followed, the oil slick spread, eventually covering
about 1,300 miles of coastline.
Investigators later learned that Joseph Hazelwood, the captain of Exxon Valdez, had
been drinking at the time and had allowed an unlicensed third mate to steer the
massive ship.
Exxon paid about $2 billion in cleanup costs and $1.8 billion for habitat restoration
and personal damages related to the spill.
Term 1- Grade 5 Compiled class notes
Cleanup workers skimmed oil from the water’s surface, sprayed oil dispersant
chemicals in the water and on shore, washed oiled beaches with hot water and
rescued and cleaned animals trapped in oil.
One of those areas that was oiled but never cleaned is a large shoreline boulder
called Mearn’s Rock. Scientists have returned to Mearn’s Rock every summer since
the spill to photograph the plants and small creatures growing on it. They found that
many of the mussels, barnacles and various seaweeds growing on the rock before
the spill returned to normal levels about three to four years after the spill.
The oil spill also may have played a role in the collapse of salmon and herring
fisheries in Prince William Sound in the early 1990s. Fishermen went bankrupt, and
the economies of small shoreline towns, including Valdez and Cordova, suffered in
the following years.
Some reports estimated the total economic loss from the Exxon Valdez oil spill to be
as much as $2.8 billion.
A 2001 study found oil contamination remaining at more than half of the 91 beach
sites tested in Prince William Sound.
The spill had killed an estimated 40 percent of all sea otters living in the Sound. The
sea otter population didn’t recover to its pre-spill levels until 2014, twenty-five years
after the spill.
Stocks of herring, once a lucrative source of income for Prince William Sound
fisherman, have never fully rebounded.
Act of 1990, which President George H.W. Bush signed into law that year.
Term 1- Grade 5 Compiled class notes
The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 increased penalties for companies responsible for oil
spills and required that all oil tankers in United States waters have a double hull.
Exxon Valdez was a single-hulled tanker; a double-hull design, by making it less likely
that a collision would have spilled oil, might have prevented the Exxon Valdez
disaster.
The single-hulled ship could no longer transport oil in U.S. waters, due to the new
regulations. The ship began running oil transport routes in Europe, where
single-hulled oil tankers were still allowed. There it was renamed the Exxon
Mediterranean, then the SeaRiver Mediterranean and finally the S/R Mediterranean.
In 2002, the European Union banned single-hulled tankers and the former Exxon
Valdez moved to Asian waters.
Exxon sold the infamous tanker in 2008 to a Hong Kong-based shipping company.
The company converted the old oil tanker to an ore carrier, renaming it the Dong Feng
Ocean. In 2010, the star-crossed ship collided with another bulk carrier in the Yellow
Sea and was once again severely damaged.
Term 1- Grade 5 Compiled class notes
The ship was renamed once more after the collision, becoming the Oriental Nicety.
The Oriental Nicety was sold for scrap to an Indian company and dismantled in 2012.
