This programme highlights the importance of food in providing
energy and strength for keeping our body fit and healthy. Besides
highlighting the dependence of animals and human beings on plants
for food, the importance of the sun, air and water for making food
has also been highlighted. The muscular system, nervous system,
excretory system, circulatory and the digestive system of the human
body have been explained along with the functions of the organs of
these systems. The chemical composition of food as proteins, fats,
carbohydrates are dealt with in detail with suitable examples.
Sources and functions of different types of food highlighting have
also been described in this programme. The cause and prevention of
different types of deficiency and malnutritional diseases have also
been covered. Besides the importance of personal hygiene, food
habits and other sanitary conditions, the programme has touched
upon the causes and prevention of various diseases like cholera,
typhoid, jaundice etc. |

| Pendulum |
Measurement in Science Technology |
The programme starts with a number of examples of oscillatory
motion in our daily life. The programme describes the experiments
performed with the help of a pendulum. The first experiment is to
find the time period of different amplitudes. In the second
experiment, the time period has been computed for different lengths
of the pendulum and the third experiment shows that the time period
of a pendulum is independent of the mass of the job. The programme
concludes with the findings of these experiments. Emphasis is given
on need of the exact and accurate length and time
measurements. |
