7 th std science and social science text book term 3 Tamil medium

TN formed a Curriculum Development Committee in June 2017 under the Chairmanship of M Anandakrishnan, former Vice-Chancellor of Anna University, and released a draft of the new syllabus in November last year.
Today, many textbooks are published in both print format and digital formats.
The students and teachers have welcomed the new syllabus issued by the Tamil Nadu State Board. Therevamped syllabus is suitable to equip Tamil Nadu students to tackle various competitive entrance exams like NEET, JEE, etc., and to choose from the most sought-after career options like Banking & Finance, SSC, UPSC, TNPSC, CAT, IT, and many more.
Experts point out that this new syllabus focuses more on concepts and understanding rather than memorising and reproducing answers. The state government, too, has been working towards making education more rounded in multiple steps.
For instance, it dropped the blueprint system that allowed teachers and students to selectively learn or omit portions from textbooks. This method encouraged rote learning the prescribed chapters based on the marks they would fetch in the board exams. The government has also banned public announcements of rankings in 10th and 12th boards
Yet another new addition is the QR code provided in every textbook for all classes. Usha Rani, Director of SCERT, says that Tamil Nadu is the first to do so in the country, “Students can access additional content by using the QR code in the textbook.” These QR codes will lead students and teachers to audio-visuals to enhance conceptual learning.

The Imperial Valley of the Sonoran desert in southern California has been converted into a green patch which yields crops all the year round. Forests are not to be considered merely as a direct source of wealth; they are to be considered in relation to the national economy and geography. Forests serve many purposes. They hold together the soil and prevent or minimize soil erosion. The oxygen in the air is replenished by forests and plankton in the sea. Trees and plants, during photosynthesis, absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. Scientists fear that if forests are destroyed indiscriminately, there will be an increase in carbon dioxide and eventually the sun's rays will become hotter, the polar caps will melt and the ocean level rise and submerge much of our land. Vegetable mould that forests supply increases the fe...

The importance of water

Introduction  Life, both animal and plant, is impossible without water. Without water men die of dehydration About 70% of the human body is water. Of the total surface of the earth, 75 % is water and just below the surface of the land in most areas there is a saturated layer known as the water table. Animals and plants have large percentages of water in their make-up and some animals regulate their movements according to the water sources. Water: If there is no water there can be no life. The moon is a sterile desert because there is no water in it. It is to be remembered that it was water that determined the location of human settlements and without the Nile the Egyptian Civilization would not have developed The Nile provided the Egyptians facilities for irrigation and transport. As Herodotus said, Egypt is the "Gift of the Nile". Importance of water: The urban man rarely thinks of the importance of water. When he needs water, all he has to do is to turn on the tap.
