PETRIDISH A - They put 10 drops of water
PETRIDISH B- They put 10 drops of citric acid (present in lemon)
PETRIDISH C- They put 5 drops of water + 5 drops of citric acid
PETRIDISH D- They put 1 drop acid + 9 drops of water

WORLD FOOD DAY

World food day is a day of action dedicated to tackling global hunger, held annually on 16 October. People around the world come together to declare their commitment to eradicate world wide hunger from our lives.

The theme of World Food Day 2019 is “Our Actions Are Our Future. 

Healthy Diets for a "ZeroHunger World". It focuses on tackling global hunger. Due to globalisation, urbanisation and income growth, our diets and eating habits are changed.

"Investigating the effect of temperature on the growth of Bread Mould " ACTIVITY OF CLASS 8

Four Breads were taken and put in different temperature conditions
Bread-1 IN FREEZER
Bread-2 IN FRIDGE
Bread-3 IN COOL AND DARK PLACE
Bread-4 IN WARM AND MOIST PLACE

Students observed the growth of bread mould in different temperature conditions, they counted the number of colonies of bread mould and estimated the percentage area covered by bread mould in different temperature conditions.

Investigating conditions that are needed for the rust to form? CLASS 7 Activity

Three test tubes represents :

Test tube-1 : Iron nail + tap water

Test tube-2 : Iron nail + Calcium chloride , mouth of test tube was closed with a cork

Test tube -3 : Iron nail + tap water and a layer of oil , mouth of test tube was closed with a cork

Learners will be able to conclude about the conditions necessary for the rusting to occur (oxygen and water)
