The chapter's value based question, and its bird watching activities
Neha was travelling with her family in a car. On the way, she noticed that some children, going in another car, were throwing out banana and orange peels out of the car window. She did not like this at all.
When they all stopped at a restaurant on the way, Neha went to those children and told them that they should not behave in a way that makes the environment dirty. She told them that in nature also, birds, like vultures, eat away dead animals to keep the environment clean. The children realised their mistake.
Reflect on this story and the chapter's suggested activities below.
Think about her sense of responsibility.
Consider how a dirty environment affects humans and animals.
Recall the beak type mentioned on page 33.
