HOLIDAY HOME WORK - CLASS X

SESSION: 2024-25

Dear Parent(s),
Summer vacation is a special time for children to unwind and enjoy. It's also an opportunity for our Class X
& XII students to set goals and stay focused. This sense of dedication and responsibility should begin as
students enter the X grade.
As the temperatures soar to unprecedented heights, the summer vacation offers a brief respite from the
scorching heat. It also presents students with ample time for reflection, reviewing past performances, learning
from mistakes, setting goals, and planning strategically and tactically. As we gear up for this rejuvenating
period, let's prepare to make the most of our time in constructive ways. To foster new learning experiences
and enhance individual curiosity, the school has organized activities to channelize the energy of our young
Ahlconians.
Here are some guidelines for you to invigorate your ward while giving him the chance to enjoy this period
of unrestrained fun -
1. Embrace family time: Use this period to reinforce family ties and create cherished moments together.
2. Explore through reading: Dive into interesting books about different places and people to expand
knowledge and imagination.
3. Prioritize health: Maintain good hygiene and opt for nutritious foods like fresh fruits and plenty of
water to stay energized.
4. Engage with holiday homework: Use Holiday Homework as an opportunity to bond and guide your
child, rather than completing tasks for them.
5. Encourage physical activity: Encourage your child to participate in healthy activities like yoga or
outdoor games.
6. Foster responsibility: Involve children in household chores to teach them valuable life skills.
7. Appreciate nature: Take leisurely walks in parks and enjoy the beauty of the outdoors together.

Holiday Homework (for all subjects) must be submitted as per the mentioned dates.

C. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow-

The buildings that we live and work in have a major impact on the environment since they consume energy,
resources and generate waste. There are countless studies which show a direct correlation between an
occupant’s health and adequate daylight and ventilation. With our lifestyle and the majority of our time spent
indoors, the design of our spaces is of great importance.

Over the last few years, the term ‘Green Building’ has been used extensively by everybody. It implies these
projects have incorporated measures like energy saving, water conservation and ventilation. The important
thing is to remember that when we decide to build or buy a new home or office, we must ensure that it is
‘Green-certified’. Secondly, even if your current space is not designed according to Green standards, you
can still protect the environment by adopting a few simple strategies.

The first thing to be kept in mind is energy saving. Major energy consumption happens when we use
appliances at home. It is best to use 3-star or high rated air conditioners and appliances at home. We must
clean the air filters in the AC regularly. Turn off plugs when not in use. Chargers and appliances, even if they
are not turned on, will consume electricity if they are connected to a plug point.
Water is fast becoming a scarce commodity and fresh water is brought in large tankers to most city homes
and apartments. So we need to save water. This can be done by fixing water saving fixtures in bathrooms
and kitchens and turning off taps, when not in use.

FACTORS AFFECTING ENGERY CONSUMPTION

IN HOMES
D-11%
A-Air conditioners, fans and lights
A-42 %
B-Gas stoves and LPG
C- 27%
C-Electrical appliances

B-20% D-other factors

Recycling waste is another important thing that all of us need to do. Many cities have large, unsightly and
ever-growing landfills surrounding them. These are not only an environmental hazard, but a breeding place
for disease-causing germs. Surprisingly landfills are filled with materials that can be easily recycled. Most
countries in the world collect trash in a segregated form because it becomes easier to recycle. One of the
simplest ways to reduce waste is to reduce our consumption of items that produce waste.
a. Design of our homes is of immense significance because-
i. buildings consume energy.
ii. studies show inverse correlation between occupant’s health and ventilation.
iii. maximum of our time is spent indoors.
iv. we spend a major part of our income on our comforts.
b. Explain the term ‘Green Building’.
c. Why should chargers and appliances not remain plugged in?
d. Complete the analogy-
Water: scarce :: landfills: _____________
e. State two reasons why waste should be recycled.
f. According to the pie diagram, what are the two major factors affecting the energy consumption in
homes?
i. B and C
ii. A and B
iii. A and C
iv. B and D

g. Reducing consumption can ________________.

h. Which word in para 5 is same in meaning as ‘unpleasant to look at’.
Which word in the passage is the antonym of ‘amalgamate’?

PROJECT-1- SOCIAL SCIENCE

Every student must compulsorily undertake any one project on the following topics:

Consumer Awareness
OR
Social Issues
OR
Sustainable development

GUIDELINES FOR THE TOPICS BASED ON PROJECT-1

Consumer Awareness -Your project should reflect the following points or any other aspect can also be
Included.This project proposes to discuss the issue of consumer rights within the context of the ways markets
operate in ourcountry. There are many aspects of unequal situations in a market and poor enforcement of
rules and regulations. Discuss how some consumers are exploited in a real-life situation and how legal
institutions help consumers in
getting compensated and in upholding their rights. Express how the awareness of being a well-informed
consumerand active participation of people is important. Mention a few organisations helping consumers in
different ways.
Social Issues Social issues have plagued the life of too many people. Many times, you may have noticed that
a lotof things in the society which does not seem good. For instance, you must have noticed poor children
begging on the streets. They do not go to school. They have been forced to beg for a living. Such
circumstances along with others which affect the population at large are social issues. Begging is an issue
which arises out of poverty.
Poverty is itself is one of the major social issues in India. It is important to understand the general social issues
ofour society and how they impact the lives of the people of the country. Take any two social issues that we
face today and explain them in detail. Keep the following points in mind. Your project should reflect the
following points, or any other aspect can also be included.
What is a Social Issue?
A social issue is a problem that influences a considerable number of individuals. It is an aspect of society
that people are concerned about and would like to get it changed. The concern of a social issue may be
objective or subjective. A social issue arises due to diverse opinions of individuals based on what is perceived
as right. Socialissue does not necessarily refer to an ill to be solved, but it may be a topic to be discussed.
Social issues can be different for different groups, societies, countries and world. Causes of the Social Issues:
There are many causes of the social issues. Social issues arise due to inequalities in society. Different
individuals and different societies may have different perceptions about a problem giving rise to a social
issue. There can be disagreements about which social issue is important and worth solving, or which should
take precedence. Solving Social Issues: There are a variety of methods to resolve variety of social issues.
These include political processes, non-profit organizations, community groups and volunteering to have
public dialogue on a social issue and arrive at a most acceptable solution.
Sustainable Development

7 Social Science Collage/ Poster Read the following information on Andaman Nicobar,
Lakshadweep and Delhi –
Andaman and Nicobar Islands, union territory, India,
consisting of two groups of islands at the southeastern edge
of the Bay of Bengal. The peaks of a submerged mountain
range, the Andaman Islands and their neighbours to the
south, the Nicobar Islands, form an arc stretching southward
for some 620 miles (1,000 km) between Myanmar (Burma)
and the island of Sumatra, Indonesia. The arc constitutes the
boundary between the Bay of Bengal to the west and
the Andaman Sea to the east. Port Blair (on South Andaman
Island) is the territorial capital.

Situated on the ancient trade route between India and

Myanmar, the Andamans were visited by the navy of the
English East India Company in 1789, and in 1872 they were
linked administratively by the British to the Nicobar Islands.
The two sets of islands became a union territory of the
Republic of India in 1956. The territory has for more than a
century been recognized for its indigenous communities,
which have ardently avoided extensive interaction with
ethnic outsiders.

In 2004 the islands drew global attention when they were

severely damaged by a large tsunami that had been triggered
by an earthquake in the Indian Ocean near Indonesia.
Landforms are categorized by features such as elevation,
slope, orientation, stratification, rock exposure, and soil
type. They include berms, mounds, hills, cliffs, valleys,
rivers, and numerous other elements. Oceans and continents
are the highest-order landforms. The Andaman tropical
evergreen rain forests, beautiful silver sandy beaches,
serpentine mangrove-lines creeks, marine life abounding in
rare species of plants, animals, corals, etc., provide a
memorable experience to the tourists. It enjoys the
equatorial climate. This is the only place in India where a
volcano is located. This is the only place in India where a
coral bed is found.

LAKSHADWEEP :-

Located in the Arabian Sea, Lakshadweep is a group of 36

islands comprising of 12 atolls, three reefs, five submerged
sand banks and 10 inhabited islands. It is the smallest Union
Territory of India with a total geographical area of only 30
sq km. The UT lies between 8°15' N to 11°45' N latitude and
72°E to 74°E longitude. The only district of the Union
Territory is a tribal district. Lakshadweep islands have a
tropical humid, warm and generally pleasant climate. The
annual rainfall ranges between 1,000 mm to 2,000 mm and
the annual temperature varies from 25°C to 35°C. Though
the islands receive high rainfall but lack of surface storage
capacity makes fresh water a precious commodity in the UT.
As per the 2011 Census, Lakshadweep has a population of
0.064 million. The rural and urban population constitute
21.94% and 78.06% respectively. Tribal population of the
UT is 6.99%. The population density is 2,015 per sq km. The
19th Livestock Census 2012 has reported a total livestock
population of 0.049 million in the UT.
DELHI:-
One of the oldest city of India, Delhi is situated on the banks
of river Yamuna. It is located at 28.38° N and 77.13° E on
the northern part of India. Considered to be a part of the
Aravalli Range, major part of Delhi is a plain area or
Bhangar which is very fertile. The other regions of Delhi
like the Yamuna plains are prone to flood while the Delhi
ridge which is the most important feature of this region is
bordered by the Aravallis. The entire topography of this city
is divided into two prominent regions - the Yamuna Flood
Plain and the ridge.
A scared river of the Hindus, Yamuna is the only important
river flowing through Delhi while the Delhi ridge which is
simply called the Ridge is an extension of the Aravalli
Range. The river bed is rich in alluvial soil and the plains are
very fertile. As the plains of the river Yamuna are very
fertile vegetation of Delhi comprises of medium size of trees
and herbs.
