CHAPTER 15 AIR CLASS VI
AIR IS PRESENT EVERY WHERE AROUND US. • MOVING AIR IS CALLED WIND.
ACTIVITY: • An empty bottle is inverted and dipped under water. • Water does not enter inside bottle because the space inside the bottle is filled with air. • On tilting, air goes out of the bottle.Now water enters the bottle. • AIR OCCUPIES SPACE
PROPERTIES OF AIR • AIR HAS NO COLOUR. IT IS TRANSPARENT. • THE ENVELOPE OF AIR AROUND EARTH IS CALLED ATMOSPHERE. ATMOSPHERE
As we go higher and higher, above the suface of earth, the thickness of air becomes less . • At the top of high mountains, oxygen is less. • Mountaineers carry oxygen cylinders with them.
AIR IS A MIXTURE OF GASES. COMPOSITION OF AIR - * NITROGEN -78% * OXYGEN -21% * CARBONDIOXIDE - 0.04% * WATER VAPOUR * DUST &SMOKE OTHER S
WATER VAPOUR WATER VAPOUR IN AIR IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF WATER CYCLE
OXYGEN • HELPS IN BURNING • ESSENTIAL FOR BREATHING
ACTIVITY: • TAKE WATER IN A CONTAINER AND HEAT IT. WE OBSERVE TINY BUBBLES ON THE SURFACE OF VESSEL , AFTER SOME TIME. THESE BUBBLES COME FROM AIR DISSOLVED IN WATER.
OXYGEN PRESENT IN AIR IN BETWEEN SOIL PARTICLES IS USED BY SOIL ORGANISMS. • OXYGEN DISSOLVED IN WATER IS USED BY AQUATIC ORGANISMS
EARTHWORMS COME OUT OF THEIR BURROWS DURING RAIN . WATER occupis all spce in between the soil particles ,replacing air.Eatrh worms find it difficult to breath.
NITROGEN • NITROGEN DOES NOT SUPPORT BURNING. • IT IS AN IMPORTANT PLANT NUTRIENT.
CARBONDIOXIDE • RELEASED IN THE ATMOSPHERE DURING RESPIRATION ,BURNING, DECOMPOSITION etc.
CARBONDIOXIDE • USED BY PLANTS FOR PHOTOSYNTHESIS.
CARBONDIOXIDE • IT CAN EXTINGUISH FIRE.
DUST • DUST PARTICLES ARE PRESENT IN AIR. • Hairs present in nasal cavity prevent the dust particles from entering into the respiratory system.
SMOKE • RELEASED BY VEHICLES, FACTORIES, KITCHEN BURNING OF OTHER MATERIALS. • CONTAIN HARMFUL GASES LIKE , OXIDES OF NITROGEN, SULPHUR, CARBON etc.
LONG CHIMNEYS OF FACTORIES TAKES THIS SMOKE AWAY FROM US BUT BRING IT CLOSER TO THE BIRDS.

SAY TRUE OR FALSE TRUE FALSE • 1.MOVING AIR IS CALLED WIND. • 2.AIR DOES NOT NEED SPCE TO OCCUPY. • 3.CARBONDIOXIDE SUPPORTS BURNING . 4. EARTHWORMS BREATHE AIR PRESENT IN SOIL. • 5. PLANTS AND ANIMALS DEPEND ON EACH OTHER FOR EXCHANGE OF OXYGEN AND CARBONDIOXIDE FROM AIR. 6.HAIRS INSIDE THE NASALCAVITY FILTER CARBONDIOXIDE PRESENT IN AIR. FALSE TRUE TRUE FALSE
