The document discusses the process of photosynthesis in plants, explaining how they make food using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide, and how this food is essential for their growth and survival. It also highlights the interdependence between plants and animals, emphasizing that animals rely on plants for food and oxygen. Additionally, it covers the importance of different types of clothing and fibers, including natural and human-made fibers, and their significance in protecting us from various environmental conditions.

Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis provides oxygen that we and other living things need to stay alive.
So, we can say that human beings and all animals depend on plants.
How do we know sunlight is
required for photosynthesis?

How do plants use food?
Plants use the food prepared (glucose) to grow and stay alive. The extra food prepared
by the plant is stored in the plant to use later when required.

Can we mix substances having different states of matter?
What happens when you add sugar (solid) to milk (liquid) or ice (solid) to orange
juice (liquid)? By doing so, you mix two different substances having two different
states of matter.
In our daily lives, we mix many substances having different states of matter. Let us learn
more about mixing solids, iquids and gases with each other.
Mixing solids with liquids
Many solids can be mixed with liquids. Let us see what happens when we mix salt
