Our body is made up of many important parts, and some of these parts are called organs. Organs help us do different things to stay healthy and active.

Some organs work inside our body, like the heart, which pumps blood, and the lungs, which help us breathe.

Organs like the heart, brain, kidney are super heroes.

14. Chapter Notes: Sky Above Us

February 10, 2026 by khushikhanera

The sky

We see the sun, moon and stars in the sky. These are together called heavenly bodies. The sun is a star too and our earth is a planet while the moon is a natural satellite. All heavenly bodies in space are called the universe.

Colour the objects that you can see in the sky during the day in yellow. Colour the ones that you can see in the night in blue.

If we stand in an open place and look up, we see the sky. We see many different things in the sky at different times. During the day, we can see the sun. The sky looks bright.
We may also see clouds, birds, aeroplanes and helicopters in the sky.

In the night, the sky looks dark. We can see the moon and the stars.

The Sun

The sun is a big ball of fire. It is a star. It gives us light and warmth.
Every morning, the sun rises in the East. The rising of the sun is called sunrise. As the sun rises, it spreads light and the day begins.
Every evening, the sun sets in the West. The setting of the sun is called sunset.
As the sun sets, it becomes dark and night falls.
The sun is very big but as it is very far away from the earth, it looks small.

Do you know?
We see that the position of the sun changes in the sky with time. But this is because the earth is moving around the sun and not the other way around.

The Moon

After sunset, we see the moon in the sky.

The moon gives us light at night. But this light is not of its own. It is the light of the sun which falls on the moon.
In size, the moon is much smaller than the sun. Yet, it appears big because it is much closer to the earth. In fact, it is smaller than the earth also.
The shape of the moon changes every night.

The Stars

We also see many stars twinkling in the night sky. Like the sun, they are also very hot. But, as they are far away from the earth, their warmth does not reach us. And due to their being far away, they also appear like tiny spots in the sky.

Do you know?
The first man to step on the moon was Neil Alden Armstrong.

Do you know?
In earlier times, sailors used to find their direction in the sea with the help of the stars. When the sailors saw the North Star in front of them in the sky, they knew they were moving in the North direction.

12. Means Of Transport – Chapter Notes

July 24, 2025 by khushikhanera

Introduction

Have you ever wondered how people travel to faraway places? We cannot walk everywhere, especially if the place is very far! That’s why we use different types of transport to help us move from one place to another.
Long ago, people did not have cars, buses, or trains. They used bullock carts, horse carriages, and boats to travel. Bullock carts were pulled by strong bulls and were used to carry people and goods from one place to another. But they were slow and took a long time to reach faraway places.

Try yourself:

Which mode of transport is used to travel across water?

A.Cars
B.Trains
C.Ships
D.Aeroplanes

View Solution

Different Means of Transport

Land Transport

Have you ever ridden a bus, car, or bicycle? These are all types of land transport because they move on roads or tracks. Long ago, people used bullock carts and horse carriages to travel, but today we have faster and more comfortable vehicles.
Some land transport, like cars, buses, and motorcycles, move on roads. Others, like trains and trams, run on tracks. Land transport helps us go to school, visit friends, and travel to different cities. Let’s learn more about these wonderful ways to travel on land!

1. Road Transport

Roads connect various villages, towns, and cities.
The most common types of vehicles used on roads are buses, trucks, motorcycles, scooters, rickshaws, cars, vans and bicycles.
A bus can carry a large number of passengers, approximately 50 to 60.

2. Rail Transport

Rail transport refers to the movement of people or goods using rails or tracks.
This includes different types of trains, such as passenger trains and freight trains.
It also covers metros and trams.
Compared to road transport, rail transport is capable of carrying a larger number of people and goods.

Air Transport

Air transport refers to all types of transportation that occur in the sky, including aeroplanes and helicopters.
It is the fastest way to travel, allowing connections between major cities in a short time.
However, air travel can be quite expensive.
With air transport, it is possible to reach another country in just a few hours or sometimes within a day.
Hot air balloons and blimps are types of flying technology often used for fun rides.
A rocket is a type of flying vehicle designed for space exploration or as an airborne weapon.

Water Transport

Water transport includes various types of vehicles such as boats, ships, steamers, yachts, and submarines.
Steamers and boats travel along large rivers, while ships navigate in oceans and seas, transporting both passengers and goods from one location to another.
Compared to other forms of transport like road, rail, or air transport, water transport is generally slower.
A yacht is a medium-sized sailing vessel designed for private activities such as cruising or racing, and it is not used for commercial purposes.

Submarine: A submarine is a watercraft designed to operate completely underwater in the sea for a long period. Submarines are most noticeable in navies and are used for military purposes. However, they are also used by scientists to travel deep into the sea to study deep-water sea life.

Try yourself:

Which type of transport is known for being the fastest way to travel between major cities?

A.Road Transport
B.Rail Transport
C.Air Transport
D.Water Transport

View Solution

What is Personal and Public Transport?

Personal Transport

Have you seen your family use a car, scooter, or bicycle to travel? These are types of personal transport because they belong to a person or a family and are not shared with others like buses or trains.

Bicycles are a simple and healthy way to travel short distances.
Scooters and motorcycles are small and can move through traffic easily.
Cars are comfortable and can take a family to different places.

Personal transport helps people travel whenever they want, without waiting for a bus or train. It makes travel easy, quick, and comfortable!

Public Transport

Have you ever travelled in a bus, train, or metro? These are examples of public transport, which means they are used by many people at the same time. Unlike personal transport, public transport does not belong to just one person or family.

Buses travel on roads and stop at different places to pick up and drop off passengers.
Trains and metros move on tracks and can carry many people at once.
Auto-rickshaws and taxis are also public transport because different people can use them when needed.

Public transport helps people travel together, save money, and reduce traffic on the roads. It is an important way for many people to go to school, work, or other places every day!

Once Again!

Transport makes our lives easy by helping us travel quickly and safely.
Whether we go by road, water, or air, there are many ways to reach different places. Imagine a world without transport—how long would it take to visit friends or go on a trip?
Thanks to cars, buses, trains, boats, and aeroplanes, we can explore the world with ease!
