Lakhmir Singh’s Science Class 4
ABOUT THE AUTHORS
LAKHMIR SINGH did his M.Sc. from Delhi University in 1969. Since then he has been teaching in Dyal Singh College of Delhi University, Delhi. He started writing books in 1980. Lakhmir Singh believes that book writing is just like classroom teaching. Though a book can never replace a teacher but it should make the student feel the presence of a teacher. Keeping this in view, he writes books in such a style that students never get bored reading his books. Lakhmir Singh has written more than 15 books so far on all the science subjects: Physics, Chemistry and Biology. He believes in writing quality books. He does not believe in quantity.
MANJIT KAUR did her B.Sc., B.Ed. from Delhi University in 1970. Since then she has been teaching in a reputed school of Directorate of Education, Delhi. Manjit Kaur is such a popular science teacher that all the students want to join those classes which she teaches in the school. She has a vast experience of teaching science to school children, and she knows the problems faced by the children in the study of science. Manjit Kaur has put all her teaching experience into the writing of science books. She has co-authored more than 15 books alongwith her husband, Lakhmir Singh.
It is the team-work of Lakhmir Singh and Manjit Kaur which has given some of the most popular books in the history of science education in India. Lakhmir Singh and Manjit Kaur both write exclusively for the most reputed, respected and largest publishing house of India : S. Chand and Company Pvt. Ltd.
An Open LetterDear Friend,
We would like to talk to you for a few minutes, just to give you an idea of some of the special features of this book. Before we go further, let us tell you that this book conforms to the NCERT guidelines prescribed by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). Just like our earlier books, we have written this book in such a simple style that even the weak students will be able to understand science very easily. Believe us, while writing this book, we have considered ourselves to be the students of the concerned class and tried to make things as simple as possible.
The most important feature of this book is that we have included a large variety of different types of questions for assessing the learning abilities of the students. This book contains:
(i) Objective type questions,
(ii) Subjective type questions,
(iii) Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs),
(iv) Questions based on Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS), and
(v) Activities.
Please note that answers have also been given for the various types of questions, wherever required. All these features will make this book even more useful to the students as well as the teachers. “A picture can say a thousand words”. Keeping this in mind, a large number of coloured pictures and sketches of various scientific processes, procedures, appliances, manufacturing plants and everyday situations involving principles of science have been given in this book. This will help the students to understand the various concepts of science clearly. It will also tell them how science is applied in the real situations in homes, transport and industry.
We are sure you will agree with us that the facts and formulae of science are just the same in all the books, the difference lies in the method of presenting these

Lakhmir Singh’s Science Class 4
Learning Objectives:
• Parts of a leaf
• Functions of a leaf
• How green leaves produce food
• Interdependence of plants and animals
Plants, animals and humans need energy to live. They get this energy from the food and nutrients they consume. Green plants can make their own food through a process known as photosynthesis. The green leaf is the site where this process of producing food occurs in plants. Humans and animals depend on plants for food, either directly or indirectly. So, plants are known as producers.
GREEN LEAF – A PLANT’S KITCHEN The green colour of leaves comes from a substance called chlorophyll. This substance is essential for the process of producing food or photosynthesis to occur.
Parts of a LeafLeaves are of different shapes and sizes and have different parts. However, there are some basic parts that are common in most leaves. These are:

leaf
2. Apex: The tip of the leaf
3. Midrib or main vein: Veins are framework of hollow tubes that carry water and minerals; the midrib runs along the centre
4. Side veins: Veins that branch out from the midrib
5. Petiole: The part that joins the leaf to the main stem
Stomata are tiny openings or pores mostly found on the under-surface of leaves. Air enters and leaves the plant through these openings. Stoma helps the plant to breathe. A stoma is very tiny and can be seen only under a microscope.

Stomata in leaf
Know more
The outer surface of the leaf has a waxy coating called cuticle which protects the leaf.
Functions of a LeafLeaves are very useful for the plants. The main functions of a leaf are: • to produce food • exchange of gases through stomata • food storage • transpiration or evaporation of water • reproduction or vegetative propagation In this chapter we will learn about the role of leaves in photosynthesis or food production.

How Green Leaves Produce FoodPlants need three basic things to live: water, sunlight and carbon dioxide. Photosynthesis is the process by which a plant produces its food using energy from sunlight, carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil. The word photosynthesis can be separated to make two smaller words: ‘photo’ which means light‘synthesis’ which means putting together In this process, light energy from the Sun is absorbed by the green substance, called chlorophyll, present in leaves. This energy allows the production of glucose (food) by the reaction between carbon dioxide and water. Oxygen is also produced as a by-product.
Carbon dioxide + Water Light energy → Glucose + Oxygen
Photosynthesis

Lakhmir Singh’s Science Class 4
Photosynthesis is unique to green plants. This process supplies food for the plant and oxygen for other forms of life. A green plant helps make the oxygen we are breathing today. So, green plants are often referred as green lungs.
ACTIVITYObjective: To find out if a plant has carried out photosynthesis by testing for starch. Presence of starch implies that photosynthesis has occurred. Important fact: Iodine solution is a special solution that is normally a brown liquid. When iodine solution is dropped on starch, the iodine and starch combine and produce a blue colour. Materials needed: A piece of potato, small amount of cooked rice, ink dropper, iodine solution, two dishesSteps:
1. Fill some iodine in the ink dropper. 2. Add a few drops of iodine directly to the piece of potato and the cooked rice.
Dish 1 Dish 2Iodine test for starch
Observations:
Dish 1: Potato Dish 2: Cooked rice
The iodine turned blue-black The iodine turned blue-black
Conclusion: Both potato and cooked rice contain starch as iodine turns blue-black in the presence of starch. Thus we can say that photosynthesis has occurred.
PHOTOSYNTHESIS GIVES FOOD AND OXYGEN
FoodSome of the glucose is used to provide energy for the growth and development of plants while the rest is stored as starch in leaves, roots, fruits, flowers and seeds for later use by plants. These are food sources for humans and some animals too.

ACTIVITYObjective: To show that sunlight is necessary for photosynthesis.Materials needed: A leafy potted plant, black paper, scissors, iodine solution, ink dropper and paper clipsSteps:
1. Cover a leaf partly with black paper as shown below.
Paper clip
Exposed to sunlight Black paper clipped to both sides of a leaf
Potted plant
Demonstration of necessity of sunlight for photosynthesis
2. Leave the potted plant in sunlight for 2-6 hours.3. Remove the paper and test the leaf for starch by doing the iodine starch test.Conclusion and explanation: Only the uncovered parts turn blue-black when iodine solution is dropped on the leaf. The part that had been covered does not change colour.
Blue or BlackBrown
The uncovered part turns blue-black
Starch is produced only in the areas that received sunlight, showing that sunlight is necessary for photosynthesis.

Some food we get from plants are
carrot, beet, turnip onion, celery lettuce, spinach, cabbage
ROOTS STEMS LEAVES
peas, green beans, corn tomato, apple, watermelon broccoli, cauliflower
SEEDS FRUITS FLOWERS
Oxygen Oxygen produced during photosynthesis is released into the atmosphere. This oxygen is what we breathe to stay alive.
INTERDEPENDENCE OF PLANTS AND ANIMALSPlants and animals depend on each other for many things.
For Food Animals depend on plants and other animals for food. Animals can be divided into the following groups, according to what they eat: • Herbivores eat plants. • Carnivores eat other animals. • Omnivores eat both plants and animals. • Scavengers feed on dead animals. • Decomposers eat and break down the remains of dead animals. The elements
that are released during this process are put back in the soil and become food for plants.

For Pollination Plants depend on animals for pollination or transfer of pollen grains from one flower to another. Pollination helps in the growth of new plants. Bees, butterflies and wasps are some pollinators. They visit flowers to get nectar, which is food for them.Plants attract pollinators through • sweet nectar • nice smell or fragrance • colourful flowers
Seed Dispersal Plants need to have their seeds spread over a wide area. If all the seeds fall in one area, the plants that grow will not have enough water, soil or sunlight to grow properly. Animals eat fruits. At times seeds get stuck to their fur and are carried away and dispersed at a distance. This is called seed dispersal. It helps in the growth of new plants. So, while animals get food from plants, they in turn, help in the growth of new plants.
SUMMARY• Green plants or producers can make their own food through a process known as
photosynthesis.• The green colour of leaves comes from a substance called chlorophyll.• Photosynthesis is the process by which a plant produces its food using energy from
sunlight, carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil.• Photosynthesis is unique to green plants. This process supplies food for the plant
