She spent her time, rushing around the house and compound, never stopping to rest. Her face always wore an expression that asked for forgiveness.

The Ambazhathel family could not have existed happily for a single day without Meenakshi, as she was the only one, who knew how much paddy should be boiled each time to make enough rice for the members of the household or how many mundus had been given to the washerman or when to give medicine to the children.

F. Think and Answer.

1. Imagine that you are caught on a stormy day. How will you manage the situation?
Answer:
One day, I was in school. At about 2 p.m., the school gave over, as there was a weather forecast expecting a storm in the evening after 5 p.m. The students were allowed to go home, only after their parents came to pick them up. My mother, due to some problem, came to pick me up only after 4.30 p.m. It was a long way to go to our home. We travelled half way by a bus and then got down to take another bus. By then, the storm had started. The wind blew hard on us. We had to take shelter in a bus terminus. It rained heavily. We couldn’t step out of the bus terminus for nearly two hours. Then we came out. It was still raining. There was water upto our knees. My mother gave a call to my father asking him to come there. He hired a car and picked us up. We reached home safely at 8 p.m.

Project

G. Make a fact file on how do we use these resources in our day-to-day life.

• Solar energy
• Wind energy
• Hydro energy

Answer:
Solar Energy

Many scientists believe that solar energy is the future fuel. To cut down electricity bills, we should use solar energy. You can choose a full solar electrical system and completely remove yourself from the local power supply company. Solar systems can heat the water in your homes to fill your hot-water tank. Almost every electronic device that contains GPS or receives information via satellite such as cell phones, use some of the oldest solar technology around. Satellites that link us to most mass forms of media directly or indirectly use the sun’s rays to power them.

Wind Energy

The earth is a source of many forms of energy such as hydro, biomass, nuclear and geothermal. Wind energy is a source of energy which is free, very abundant and environment friendly. Wind turbines are one of the power generating devices, which utilize wind energy to generate power. This electricity is used to run electric devices and or stored in the batteries. Many countries use wind energy to power a pump water from the ground. The wind energy is also used to power the sailing ships in the sea. A more enjoyable use to wind energy is for sports and activities that rely on the power of wind.

Hydro Energy

Like wind energy, Hydro energy is mostly used for electricity generation and accounts for almost 20% of the total global electricity production. Hydro- power is also used to store energy. Hydro electricity is one of the cheapest and non-polluting sources of power. It is much more reliable than wind and solar power. The most common type of hydro-electric power plant uses a dam on a river to store water in a reservoir. Water released from the reservoir flows through a turbine, spinning it, which in turn activates a generator to produce electricity.
