3 cycle nu narration

Welcome to another session of Science Files. This presentation is from File 2 which is for class 2.

The Unit is named ‘Going in Cycles’ This lesson is focused upon the repeating patterns of

things or events which occur naturally or artificially.

After reading this lesson the children would know that:1. The repeating patterns can be shown in a

cycle.2. There are many events and phenomena which

occur in cycles.3. The repeated sequence of events that occur

for indefinite time constitutes cycle

If this pattern has to repeat itself indefinitely, then the sequence of the four given figures can be shown in a

cycle.What will come after square? A star!

Next figure to come will be a sphere and so on..

A pattern that repeats itself again and again is called a

cycleYou can tell what comes next in a cycle.

Look at the following pattern:There is a star, a circle, a triangle and a square.

This is a lso a cycle .

Do you know of some things a round you tha t happen in cycles?

Do you follow a cycle in your da ily routine?

Show the seasons in a cycle . Show a day and night in a cycle .

A year constitutes a cycle of seasons

Can you see any link be tween these pictures?

Can you expla in each picture?

What is happening?

Winter again!The seasons come after one another in a given sequence. So there is said to be a cycle of seasons in a given period of time

Here is another cycle____

The Water CycleThe Water CycleSee how wate r moves in na ture .

Sun heats up big and small water bodies on the Earth. Water evaporates and rises up to sky. Cools down and condenses into clouds. Comes back to Earth as rain, hail and snow. Goes into the Earth as run off water.

Sunrays heat up water bodies on EarthWare evaporates

Water vapours rise up, cool down on the sky

to form clouds.Then come back to Earth

as rain.
