The Fir Tree Assignment 1

Summary of the chapter:

The fir tree that was in the woods with other flora and fauna was not contented. He wanted to be taken to the town in the
beautifully decorated rooms and enjoy Christmas. He did not listen to anyone’s advice and was determined to visit the town.
Although he was taken to the town and was used well on the day of Christmas yet he was discarded right after its use. The
story has a message that we are not usually happy with what we have. One must count on his blessings because once one is
devoid of it, one would certainly miss it. We must learn to live in the present and rejoice in whatever we have.

A. Answer the following questions:

Q1.What made the fir tree tremble in fear?
Ans. The fir tree trembled in fear at the sight of some of the largest trees being cut by the woodcutters every year. Q2. Why
were the young fir trees cut down just before Christmas?
Ans: The young fir trees were cut down just before Christmas and taken to the town.They were planted in the houses in warm
rooms that were beautifully decorated with lights and other wonderful things.
Q3.Describe the room in which the fir tree was kept at Christmas?
Ans: The fir tree was kept in a large drawing room with comfortable easy chairs, silken sofas, Chinese vases, toys , picture
books and huge portraits hanging on the walls. The tree was made to stand in a cask, which stood on a large coloured carpet. Its
branches were decorated with gilded apples, walnuts, little tapers, dolls and many other things. A glittering star, made of tinsel
was fixed at the top. The fir tree was very happy and it looked splendid.
H.W: Describe the fir tree’s feelings on Christmas Day.

B. Answer with reference to the context:

1. ‘Rejoice in your growth, in the fresh life that is within you.’ a)Who
said this and to whom?
Ans:Sun beams to fir tree
b) Why did the speaker say so?
Ans:The sun beams heard the fir tree say that it wished it were old enough to travel across the sea. They were wise and
experienced. Therefore, they advised the little tree to enjoy its growth and the life within it.
c) Did the one spoken to do as was told?
Ans: The fir tree did not do as told.
H.W : What do you think about the advice?

2. ‘How thoughtful and kind man is!’

a) Why does the speaker think so?
Ans: The fir tree was dragged out of the room by the servants and was shifted to a dark corner in the loft. He thought that it was
winter outdoors and so it could not be planted. Therefore, it had been put up in the loft under shelter so that it would be planted
again in spring. He thought that it was surely thoughtful and kind of man to think so.
b) Describe the place the speaker was in at the time.
Ans: The fir tree was kept in a dark corner in the loft where sunlight could not enter. It was only the little mice that was the
companion of the tree.
c) Was the speaker’s opinion of man correct? Give reasons.
Ans:The speaker’s opinion about the man was not correct. Men used it for decoration on Christmas Eve and afterwards threw it
in the loft before disposal where sunlight could not enter. It was alone and forgotten over there.

ASSIGNMENT – I
SUB: EVS(Science) CLASS: V WEEK: 1ST
TOPIC: How Do Plants Reproduce
Explanation:-
Plants that bear flowers are called flowering plants. The different parts of a typical flower are: The stalk bearing a flower
or fruit, usually green in colour called the Peduncle. The thickened part of a stem (pedicel) from which the flower organs
grow is the Receptacle. The outermost part of a flower is the Calyx. It consists of sepals. The next part is the Corolla. It
consists of petals. The male part of the flower is the Androecium. It consists of stamens. Each stamen has two parts: A
long thin tube called the Filament and a terminal sac- like structure,- the Anther which produce and contain pollens. The
female part of the flower is the Gynoecium. It consists of carpels. Carpels are collectively called a pistil. Each carpel has
three parts: Stigma, the head of a carpel. The stalk that supports the stigma and connects it to the ovary is the Style. And,
the Ovary, which is the enlarged basal portion of a carpel. It contains ovules. It matures into a fruit and the ovules develop
into seeds upon fertilisation.
Pollination is the transfer of pollen to a stigma enabling fertilization and production of seed. There are two types of
pollination: When pollen from a plant's stamen is transferred to the stigma of the same plant, it is known as self-
pollination. When pollen from a plant's stamen is transferred to the stigma of a different plant, it is known as cross-
pollination. Various agents help in pollination which are usually wind, water and animals. Pollination results in
fertilisation wherein fruits with seeds are produced.
New plants grow from seeds. Seeds are the reproductive units of flowering plants. A seed comprises of parts which are:
The outer covering of the seed is known as the Seed coat. A tiny opening in the seed coat through which it absorbs water
is known as the Micropyle. The position where the seed was attached to the fruit is known as the Hilum. The seed leaf
inside the seed coat is known as the Cotyledon. It contains food for the developing baby plant and provides nourishment
to the germinating seedling. The baby plant in between the cotyledons within a seed is the Embryo. It has two parts- The
baby shoot known as the Plumule and the baby root known as the Radicle. Seeds with one cotyledon are
monocotyledonous seeds like seeds of grass and corn. Seeds with two cotyledons are dicotyledonous seeds like seeds of
gram and bean. Water, Air, Warmth and sunlight are necessary for the seeds to grow into new plants.This process is
known as Germination.

Written work: (to be written in C.W. notebook):

Q1. Define the following:
a. Peduncle: the stalk bearing a flower or fruit, usually green in colour.
b. Receptacle: the thickened part of a stem (pedicel) from which the flower organs grow.
c. Ovule: the female reproductive unit of seed plants which by fertilization becomes the seed.
d. Pollinators: agents (animals, insects and wind) that carry pollens from one plant to another.
e. Seed Dispersal: The movement or transport of seeds to distant places away from their parent plant.
f. Germination: It is the process by which a seed produces a baby plant or seedling in the presence of
water, air and warmth.
g. Grafting: It is a horticultural technique whereby tissues of plants are joined so as to continue their
growth together. The upper part of the combined plant is called the scion while the lower
part is called the rootstock.
h. Serotiny: It is an ecological adaptation exhibited by some seed plants, in which seed release occurs in
response to an environmental trigger (fire), rather than spontaneously at seed maturation.
Q2. Explain the parts of a typical flower with the help of a diagram.
The different parts of a typical flower are as follows:
I)Calyx- The outermost part of a flower . It consists of sepals.
Sepals are usually green in colour.
Function: Sepals protect the flower when it is developing from a bud.
II) Corolla- It consists of petals.
Petals are usually brightly- coloured and scented. It differs in various flowers.
Function: The colourful petals attract animals and insects for pollination.
III) Androecium- It is the male part of the flower. It consists of stamens.
Each stamen has two parts:
i) Filament- A long thin tube.
Function: It supports the anther
ii) Anther- Terminal sac- like structure, usually yellow in colour.
Function: Anthers produce and contain pollens and shed them off when ripe.
IV) Gynoecium- It is the female part of the flower. It consists of carpels. Carpels are collectively called a
pistil.
Each carpel has three parts:
i)Stigma-It is the head of a carpel. It is usually hairy and covered with a waxy, sticky
substance.
Function: It gets pollen from pollinators( animals and insects).
ii)Style- It is the stalk that supports the stigma and connects it to the ovary.
Function: It helps the pollens to travel down to the ovary and result in fertilisation.
iii)Ovary- It is the enlarged basal portion of a carpel. It contains ovules.
Function: It matures into a fruit and the ovules develop into seeds upon fertilisation.

Q3. Explain the parts of a seed using a diagram.

[ To be drawn on the left- hand side white page using pencil]

Ans. A seed comprises of the following parts which are as follows:
Seed coat: It is the outer covering of the seed
Function: It protects the seed and the baby plant inside the seed and prevents the seed from dying.
Micropyle: It is a tiny opening in the seed coat
Function: The seed absorbs water through this structure.
Hilum: It is a scar or mark on the seed coat
Function: It indicates the position where the seed was attached to the fruit.
Cotyledon: It refers to the seed leaf inside the seed coat.
Function: i) It contains food for the developing baby plant
ii) It provides nourishment to the germinating seedling.
Embryo: The baby plant in between the cotyledons within a seed.
It has two parts:
a) Plumule: The baby shoot which grows upwards and gives rise to stem, leaves and flowers
b) Radicle: The baby root which grows downwards into the soil to form the roots of the plant
