Plants and Animals Live Together: the Chapter Story
A short read for Class 3 before you play. These notes are written for this page and are not copied from the textbook.
🐾 Animals around plants
Wherever there are plants, there are animals. Elephants feed on grass, moths and butterflies rest on leaves, caterpillars chew leaves and tailorbirds sing in the branches.
🌍 Life in the soil
Children stand on the soil near a plant and feel it. Soil is made from broken rocks, old leaves, roots, stems and animals, and it is home to ants, termites, beetles, earthworms and millipedes.
🌧 After the rain
In the monsoon, seeds sprout and insects come out of the soil, so many new plants and animals appear around us.
🌳 Food and shelter
Camels eat leaves, monkeys eat fruits and sunbirds sip nectar. Owls live in hollows, squirrels and crows use twigs for nests, tailorbirds stitch leaves, and bats and leopards rest on branches.
🐦 Sounds of birds
Children close their eyes and listen to bird sounds. Cupping the ears helps them hear better, and they note the sounds in a table.
🦋 Suma and the caterpillar
Suma watches a caterpillar on a tagar plant. It eats, forms a cocoon, comes out as a butterfly and flies away.
