DRSIS / HOLIDAY INDEPENDENT PRACTICE / 2019-20

ACADEMIC SESSION: 2019 – 20

Class XI (CBSE)

HOLIDAY INDEPENDENT PRACTICE

STUDENT’S NAME: DATE:

Dear Children,

We are sure that you will enjoy your summer vacation with members of the family and

friends. Some of you must be planning to travel or to visit your relatives and

grandparents. It will be great if you spend some time with them and gift them

something that is handmade and designed by you. This will surely make them feel

special. If possible, join some activity classes or learn something new during your

holidays. Spend some time reading storybooks, newspapers, watching interesting and

informative programmes. Help your parents by cleaning up your room, arranging

things kept in the cupboard and donating things that you do not need to a NGO.

We are attaching a few interesting activities and assignments which you are expected to do during the break.

This will also help you avoid the noon time heat. Write neatly and present your work well. Please complete

the work and bring it to school on Thursday, June 6, 2019. Have lots of fun and take good care of yourself.

Six things to remember during summer vacation:

While your parents and we want you to have fun during summer break, we also want you to be thinkers and

doers. The following guidelines will help you to be both, while enjoying your freedom at the same time.

1. Find other ways of entertaining yourself than phones and TV, learn a musical instrument like guitar or

keyboard, learn a hobby like origami or magic tricks, read novels, learn cooking, etc.

2. For every hour of electronics, you give one hour of play time

3. If you are bored, help out at home. This will also earn brownie points with your parents and help

you realize the importance of organization and cleanliness.

4. Reading is a must. Reading nurtures your soul. When you visit malls, make sure you drop in at a

bookstore and pick books that interest you. Otherwise, read on Kindle.

5. There is no sleeping all day and staying up all night: It is unhealthy and it will be hard for you to

readjust to regular school schedule at the end of the vacations.

6. Make sure you make time for your parents: Watch a movie, go out on dinners with your family and

spend more time with your family than with your friends.

HOLIDAY HOMEWORK -2


Depression is a common problem of modern times. Both the rich and poor suffer from it. According to the

World Health Organisation, by the year 2020, depression will become the second leading cause of disease in

the world. Many solutions have been prescribed for the problem of depression but most have proved to be

ineffective as a complete cure. They may offer temporary relief but fail to resolve the problem permanently.

Meditation is often advised to treat this problem of depression. But meditation focuses on the heart and

modern science has established that the heart is merely an organ that pumps blood, whereas many kinds of

depression stem from the mind. It is the mind that controls the heart and not vice-versa. In many cases,

depression is non-physical and the heart is physical. How can a physical organ resolve a non-physical

problem?

We also often hear about physical techniques to counter depression. But the reach of physical techniques is

confined to the body and does not extend to the mind.

Many kinds of depression are the result of non-acceptance of reality. The real solution to this problem is the

acceptance of reality. The real solution to this problem is the acceptance of reality. While non-acceptance

creates the problem, acceptance of reality will solve it.

Our world is one of freedom, competition, challenge and clash of interests. This nature of human life is

bound to create problems. No one is exempt from this process. This being so, to de-stress, learn the art of

stress management rather than trying to eliminate the stress.

A person may become sad upon facing a loss in business or feeling discriminated against at work. He may

give in to anxiety and frustration if he suffers a loss in an election, his love marriage turns into a problem or if

he is offended by criticism. In all such cases, a person becomes negative because of being unaware of the real

cause. He attributes the cause to another person and holds this person responsible for his difficulties. He fails

to realise that all these are due to the law of nature. If you attribute the cause of the problem to the divine law

of nature, it will arouse no negativity, but when you attribute it to a person, it brings on negative thinking.

This is because the law of nature is not your rival, whereas you see a person as your competitor. When you

attribute the cause of your problem to a rival, it will invariably arouse negative thoughts and cause anger. But

when you attribute the cause to the law of nature, because it is not your rival and is equal in its treatment of

all, it will lead to introspection.

When you follow nature-based thinking, you will try to discover its wisdom and will realise that whatever

has happened is for your betterment. It was to activate your mind and enhance its creativity. It was a means

of developing a realistic approach, fostering incentive, making you realise your mistake and helping you to

re-plan practically.

When this thought comes to you, your mind will automatically change from negative to positive. You will be

grateful towards the law of nature for bestowing this blessing in disguise. This thought will eliminate your

stress and you will be able to live normally. This is a good way to help de-stress the mind.

On the basis of the above passage, make notes on it using headings and sub-headings. Use recognisable

abbreviations wherever necessary.

Preparation of Herbarium Specimens (With Diagram)

A Herbarium is defined as a collection of plants that usually have been dried, pressed, preserved on sheets

and arranged according to any accepted system of classification for future reference and study.

In fact, it is a great fileting system for information about plants, both primary in the form of actual specimens

of the plants, and secondary in the form of published information, pictures and recorded notes.

Methods of preparation of herbarium specimens:

The preparation of a herbarium involves: (i) Field visits,

(ii) Collection of specimens

(iii) Drying,

(iv) Mounting on a herbarium sheet,

(v) Preservation,

(vi) Labelling and

(vii) Proper storage.

(a) Field visits and specimen collection:

A complete specimen possesses all parts including root system, flowers and fruits. Therefore, regular field

visits are necessary to obtain information at every stage of growth and reproduction of a plant species. In the

fields, the tools required are mainly trowel (digger) for digging roots, scissors and knife for cutting twigs, a

stick with a hook for collection of parts of tall trees, a field note book, polythene bag, old newspaper and

magazines.

To avoid damage during transportation and preservation at least 5-G specimens of a plant should by

collected. The collected specimens are transported in a vasculum (specimen box) to prevent willing, livery

collected specimen must be tagged with a field number and necessary information should be recorded in a

field note book.


(b) Pressing and drying:

The specimens are spread out between the folds of old newspapers or blotting sheets avoiding overlapping of

parts. The larger specimen may’ folded in ‘N’ or’ W’ shapes. The blotting sheets with plant specimen should

be placed in the plant press for drying. After 24 to 48 hrs the press is opened.

(c) Mounting:

The dried specimens are mounted on herbarium sheets of standard size (41 x 29 cm). Mounting is done with

die help of glue, adhesive or cello-tape. The bulky plant parts like dry fruits seeds, cones etc. are dried

without pressing and are put in small envelops called fragment packets. Succulent plants are not mounted on

herbarium sheets but are collected in 4% formalin or FAA (Formalin Acetic Alcohol).

(f) Preservation:

The mounted specimens are sprayed with fungicides like 2% solution of mercuric chloride.

(e) Labelling:

A label is pasted or printed on the lower right hand corner. The label should indicate the information about

the locality, altitude, habit, date and lime of collection, name of collector, common name, complete scientific

name etc.

(f) Storage:

Properly dried, pressed and identified plant specimens are placed in thin paper folds (specimen covers) which

are kept together in thicker paper folders genus overs), and finally they are incorporated into the herbarium

cupboards in their proper position according to a well known system of classification. In India Bentham and

Hooker’s system of classification is used for’ his purpose. Type specimens are generally stored in separate

and safe places.
