What Is in Nature Trail? (Class 4 EVS Chapter 3)
- Every animal has features that suit its life — an elephant’s long trunk, a sparrow’s short strong beak, an eagle’s sharp curved beak and claws, a sunbird’s long beak for nectar.
- We can guess what a bird eats by looking at its beak and claws.
- Animals that live in and around water have special features — fins to swim, a turtle’s strong shell and webbed feet, the gharial’s long pointed snout.
- An insect has three pairs of legs and one pair of antennae, and often two pairs of wings.
- Leaves differ in colour, shape, texture and smell. The lines on a leaf are called veins, and they are arranged in two ways — side by side, or branching out like a net.
- In the ‘Web of Life’ game we see that all living things are connected. If one part of the web goes, the whole web grows weak.
- A forest is the home of plants and animals. Safety rules — no teasing, no feeding, no plucking, no polythene, no garbage — keep them safe and keep us safe too.
