roots of their plants like carrots, radishes, etc.
<Indicate the right box>
● Plants that climb onto a support are
called climbers.
● They have delicate stems. Grapes,
bitter gourds etc. are some of them.
Connector: Moving to the need for the plant.

4 Tutor Points:

● They can create cracks on walls.
<Indicate right box>
● Here are the plants that grows in salty
 water near coastal area like Mumbai and
Kochi.
● They are called mangroves. A part of their
roots grow vertically above the soil.<point
to the roots>
● Desert plants like cactus have deeper roots
for getting water.
● They store water in leaves and stem for
weeks.

Connector:
Let’s move to the consequences of cutting trees.

6 Tutor Points:
The forest department of India has laid down
rules to prevent cutting down trees.
People should get prior permission before
cutting any tree even if it is in their home.
Offenders can be punished with penalty or
imprisonment.

Connector: Quickly moving to revisit the

concept of growth.

7 Tutor Points:
Seeds are planted into the soil and watered
regularly.
They absorb water and start with a downward
outgrowth called roots.
Then there is an upward growth called stem.
Plants, animals and humans; all grow.
Our hair and nails grow throughout life.
