MIDDLE SECTION- DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE


SUBJECT ENRICHMENT ACTIVITY-1 (2022 – 2023)

CLASS: 6 TOTAL MARKS: 10


Date of Submission: August 16, 2022

TOPIC: 1) FOOD, WHERE DOES IT COME FROM?


2) GARBAGE IN, GARBAGE OUT

Topic: Food, Where does it come from?

Introduction:
Food is one of the basic needs of human life. It provides people the energy and
nutrients they need to grow and develop, gain strength, and work productively. Nutritious food
plays a vital role in the promotion of health and disease prevention. We are made of what we
eat. Children should eat nutritious meals as well as get plenty of exercises and adequate sleep
every day. These positive health habits will help them grow strong and stay healthy, interact
well with others, and lessen the tendencies that they will become obese.

Project:
1. Animals have a significant role in our diet. They provide us with milk, meat products, eggs
and honey. Cows, goats and buffaloes (cattle) are some common animals which give us
milk. Bees collect nectar from flowers, convert it into honey and store it in their hive.

List six animals and classify them as herbivores, carnivores or omnivores. In which
category will human beings come in? (Stick relevant pictures) (2 marks)

3. India’s diversity is not only evident in its multi-religious, multi-lingual people but also the
vast variety of cuisines that Indians relish. No matter where you stay there is always that one
particular food item that will remind you of your hometown- one delicacy that defines ‘home’
for you. Write about one traditional food item/dish from any state in India.
