NIOS Class 10 Science Activity 19.2 Classification of Living Organisms

In this activity, we will make a scrapbook of pictures of animals and plants from old calendars.

Classification of Living Organisms Activity Solution

This activity is based on the NIOS Class 10 science and technology (212) Chapter 19- Classification of Living Organisms Module 5- The Living World

Aim

To collect pictures of birds and wild animals from old calendars and prepare a scrapbook.

Materials Required

   1.  Old calendars with pictures of birds and wild animals

   2. A4/A3 sheets or a scrapbook

   3. Scissors

   4. Glue

   5. Pen

   Procedure

   We collect old calendars from home, neighbours or the school library that have pictures of birds and wild animals. We cut them using scissors and sort them into groups: Birds, Mammals, Reptiles, etc.

   Now we paste these pictures in a scrapbook or a sheet and write the name of the bird or animal, habitat, and food type.

    

   Finally, we decorate the scrapbook.

    Observation & Explanation

We observe that:

   1.  Animals and birds vary in size.

   2. They have different feeding habits. Some are carnivores, herbivores and omnivores.

   3. Their mode of reproduction is also different. Some give birth to young ones, and some lay eggs.

    

   4. Their body functions and adaptations depend on their environment in which they live.

Conclusion

This activity explains that living organisms show great diversity in body structure, feeding habits, reproduction and adaptation. So, we can understand how they survive in different environments.
