When a drop of water is placed on plain paper, it spreads out and gets absorbed. But on wax crayon-colored paper, the water drop stays on top and doesn't spread. This shows how wax makes surfaces waterproof. Similarly, plant leaves often have a waxy layer that prevents extra water from entering, proRead more
When a drop of water is placed on plain paper, it spreads out and gets absorbed. But on wax crayon-colored paper, the water drop stays on top and doesn’t spread. This shows how wax makes surfaces waterproof. Similarly, plant leaves often have a waxy layer that prevents extra water from entering, protecting them from damage and keeping them healthy by avoiding waterlogging.

If fish disappear, it will disrupt the food chain in water ecosystems. Birds, frogs, snakes and other animals that depend on fish for food will face starvation. This can lead to their extinction too. Humans who rely on fishing for food and livelihood will be affected. Such imbalance weakens the ecosystem, reduces biodiversity and makes the environment unstable for other aquatic life forms as well.

Ocean water is salty and cannot be used directly for drinking or farming. Snow is water in its solid state, seen in cold regions. Steam is water in gaseous form produced when water is heated. Rainwater is freshwater and usable for drinking, farming and daily needs. These forms show how water existsRead more
Ocean water is salty and cannot be used directly for drinking or farming. Snow is water in its solid state, seen in cold regions. Steam is water in gaseous form produced when water is heated. Rainwater is freshwater and usable for drinking, farming and daily needs. These forms show how water exists in nature in different states—solid, liquid and gas—and has varying uses and availability.
