Types of Plants - Class 2 Science - New St. Mery English School

Plants are an important part of our environment and help us in many ways. They give us food, oxygen, medicine, and make our surroundings beautiful and green. In Class 2 Science, students learn about different types of plants based on their size and how they grow.

Plants are mainly divided into herbs, shrubs, trees, climbers, and creepers. Each type of plant has its own special features. Some plants are small with soft stems, while others are big and strong. Some plants need support to grow, while some spread on the ground.

In this lesson, we will explore all these types of plants in a simple and easy way with examples, so that students can understand and remember them better.

 Living And Non-Living Things - Class 1 Science - New St. Mery English School

Our world is full of many different things around us. Some things are alive, like plants, animals, and human beings, while others are not alive, like tables, chairs, and toys. Living things can grow, breathe, move, and need food and water to live. On the other hand, non-living things do not grow, do not breathe, and do not need food or water.

In this topic, we will learn how to identify living and non-living things and understand their basic differences in a simple and fun way. This will help students observe their surroundings carefully and know more about the world they live in.

Weather And Season - Class 1 Science - New St. Mery English School

Weather and Season are important topics in Class 1 Science that help children understand the environment around them. Weather tells us about the condition of the air at a particular time, such as whether it is sunny, rainy, windy, or cloudy. Seasons are the different periods of the year that bring changes in weather. The main seasons are summer, winter, rainy season, and spring. Each season has its own special features and affects how we dress, what we eat, and the activities we do.

In this lesson, students will learn the meaning of weather and seasons in simple words. They will also understand the different types of weather, the names of seasons, and how seasons change during the year. This topic helps young learners observe nature and understand how the environment changes over time. It makes learning science easy, interesting, and enjoyable for Class 1 students. 🌤️🌧️❄️🌸

Light And Shadow - Class 5 Science - New St. Mery English School

Light is an important part of our daily life. Without light, we would not be able to see anything around us. The Sun is the main natural source of light, while bulbs, candles, and tube lights are artificial sources of light. When light falls on an object, it can pass through, get blocked, or form a shadow.

In this chapter, we will learn how shadows are formed and why they change in size and shape. We will also understand the difference between transparent, translucent, and opaque objects. Fun activities and simple examples will help us explore how light travels and how shadows are created in our surroundings.
