Summary:

The planet Earth is our home. Initially, people believed that the Earth was flat. Later, it was
proved by several astronomers that the shape of the Earth is round. Ferdinand Magellan
undertook a sea voyage from Spain to prove that the Earth was not flat but round.

Globe is an exact model of the Earth. However, it is difficult to carry whereas, maps are
drawings of the whole or a part of the Earth on a flat surface. There are various elements
used in a map like keys or legends, signs and symbols, directions and scale. Several signs and
symbols are used in maps. These are known as the conventional signs and symbols.
Different colours on the maps represent different landscapes. Scale is the ratio of the
distance on the map and the actual distance.

Answer the following questions:

Q1. Why is it important to understand the language of maps?

Q2. Why are all maps drawn to scale?

Q3. Why is the study of directions essential? Show the directions and sub-directions with
the help of a diagram.

Q4.Analyze the map given below:

a) Pretend you are “X”, what direction would you take to reach the Supermarket?
b) What would be your destination now, when you take your first left after a right?
c) If you are at the bus stop, give the directions to the Sports Centre.
d) You are at the church, went to the library then headed towards the school
through the middle lane. If you take a straight right, where will you reach?

 WORKSHEETS FOR 31 MARCH 2020
ENGLISH
Read the story thrice:-

A woman yearning for a child asks a witch for advice, and is presented with a barleycorn
which she is told to go home and plant. After the barleycorn is planted and sprouts, a tiny
girl, Thumbelina (Tommelise), emerges from its flower. One night, Thumbelina, asleep in her
walnut-shell cradle, is carried off by a toad who wants her as a bride for her son. With the
help of a friendly fish and a butterfly, Thumbelina escapes the toad and her son, and drifts
on a lily pad until captured by a stag beetle who later discards her when his friends reject
her company.

Thumbelina tries to protect herself from the elements, but when winter comes, she is in
desperate straits. She is finally given shelter by an old field mouse and tends her dwelling in
gratitude. The mouse suggests Thumbelina marry her neighbour, a mole, but Thumbelina
finds the prospect of being married to such a creature repulsive because he spends all his
days underground and never sees the sun or sky. The field mouse keeps pushing
Thumbelina into the marriage, saying the mole is a good match for her, and does not listen
to her protests.

At the last minute, Thumbelina escapes the situation by fleeing to a faraway land with a
swallow she nursed back to health during the winter. In a sunny field of flowers, Thumbelina
meets a tiny flower-fairy prince just her size and to her liking, and they wed. She receives a
pair of wings to accompany her husband on his travels from flower to flower, and a new
name, Maia. In the end, the swallow is heartbroken once Thumbelina marries the flower-
fairy prince, and flies off eventually arriving at a small house.

Summary:

The globe/map of the Earth has imaginary lines drawn on it; longitudes are the north-
south running lines, while latitudes are east-west running lines. The equator divides the
Earth in two hemispheres- the Northern Hemispheres and the Southern Hemisphere. It
is the longest latitude and is located at 0⁰. The lines that are vertically drawn are called
longitudes. The 0⁰ longitude is known as the Prime Meridian. It passes through
Greenwich near London and divides the Earth into the Eastern Hemisphere and the
 Western Hemisphere. The network of longitudes and latitudes forms a grid. It helps us in
locating places on Earth.

Answer the following questions:

Q1. Write the latitude and longitude of the below countries:

a. India
b. Australia
c. Russia

Q2. The Prime Meridian divides the Earth into the Eastern and Western hemispheres. Name the
countries through which the Prime Meridian passes.

Q3. What are the most important things that you require to locate a place on a map?
