preserve the wildlife in Sikkim. Next, the teacher will help students to look

at the real picture of the area covered with forests in a particular state

through the following activity.

Students will be told by the teacher:

(i) To collect the numerical data on forest covered areas of different states of India- Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam and Manipur under the three categories of forests - Very Dense, Moderately Dense and Open Forests.

(ii) To represent the collected data in tabular form and compare the forest areas with the total geographical area of the particular state using ratio and percentage.

(iii) To represent the collected data of forest areas of all mentioned states in the form of bar graph by pasting coloured origami sheets as bars.

Note: Students will present the above information of the collected data in

a well organised and clearly structured Infographic Poster.

Sample of bar graph:
