SUMMER HOLIDAY HOMEWORK
CLASS VIII

Dear Students
The much-awaited summer break is here again!
May the good sunshine of this season fill your life with
glee and glow and fill your heart with love and laughter! It is the right time not only to relax and
rejuvenate but also hone your skills and talents. So, make the most of your time. We wish you happy
holidays with your loved ones!
We at Blue Bells would like all our students to be global citizens, groomed to be the change makers in
the society. In sync with this, the theme of this year’s holiday activities is Sustainable Development
Goals 2030, proposed by UN. The activities have been designed to ignite your thought process and
make you aware of the global concerns.
The Sustainable Development Goals are the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable
future for all. They address the global challenges we face, including those related to poverty,
inequality, climate, environmental degradation, prosperity, and peace and justice. The Goals
interconnect and in order to leave no one behind, it is important that we achieve each Goal and target
by 2030. All your activities are based on SDG Goal 15- Life on Land. So go through the activities well
and attempt them in a creative manner.

Goal 15 focuses specifically on managing forests

sustainably, halting and reversing land and natural
habitat degradation, successfully combating
desertification and stopping biodiversity loss. All
these efforts combined aim to ensure that the
benefits of land-based ecosystems, including
sustainable livelihoods, will be enjoyed for
generations to come.

Watch the following video to understand the topic more.

Collect the data about the forest cover of India. Represent it in the form of pie chart.

SCIENCE

In sync with the SDG Goal 15- Life on Land, let's try to find out more about the biodiver-
sity in Aravalli Region.
The existence of a number of different kinds of animals and plants which together
make a good and healthy environment are referred to as biodiversity. The Aravalli Bio-
diversity Park was developed in Gurgaon area. The biodiversity of Delhi is nearly ex-
tinct. The prime objective of Aravalli Biodiversity Park is to bring back the lost biodi-
versity of Aravalli's. The other objective is to promote and create environmental aware-
ness among the students and public.

Visit the park with your friends and family and click the pictures of the variety of flora and fauna that
you see.
Also create a flip book on Aravalli Biodiversity Park covering the following headings:

1. Introduction to Aravalli Biodiversity Park

2. Unique features of the park
3. Species of Flora in the park with their scientific names (any 5)
4. Species of fauna found in the park with their scientific names (any 5)
5. Major problems related to the area.
6. How could these problems be resolved?

Don't forget to paste the pictures that you have clicked to make your flip book look
