THEME: SOLAR ENERGY- ALTERNATE SOURCES OF ENERGY
Dear Parent,
‘Exciting time is here again! Its time for Summer Vacation and fun filled
activities’.
Children are reservoirs of potential which needs to be tapped and channelized in
diverse ways. We feel that it is very important to fire their imagination and foster
an outlook that helps them explore, discover and rediscover. Children should be
encouraged to develop intellectually and physically. Summer Vacation is the best
and fruitful time for learning and for nurturing creativity. It is the time when you
can connect with your child in many ways. The Holiday Homework designed
would not only enhance achievements of your children but also help to enhance
family relationships. It would teach your child to work independently and would
improve their basic academic skills, such as reading, writing, and spellings and
would help them develop personal skills and time management. As parents,
kindly motivate and lend support to your children and ensure that they complete
the given work well-in-time and to the best of their ability. Your encouragement
can actually make a huge difference to the ultimate learning outcome of these
projects. We would be happy if parents encourage children to work on their own.
A few suggestions that you should may keep in mind.

Science
Lack of access to energy supplies and transformation systems is a constraint to human and economic
development. The environment provides a series of renewable and non-renewable energy sources i.e. solar,
wind, hydropower, geothermal, biofuels, natural gas, coal, petroleum, uranium etc .
Ensuring universal access to affordable electricity by 2030 means investing in clean energy sources such as
solar, wind and thermal. Adopting cost-effective standards for a wider range of technologies could also
reduce the global electricity consumption.
Top 5 most used Renewable Energy sources that are being used globally are :Solar, Wind, Biomass,
Geothermal and Hydroelectric. Countries which use most Renewable Energy Globally :
● Iceland
● Sweden
● Costa Rica
● United Kingdom
Clean energy is the need of today’s world as we are in an era, where different types of pollution are being
caused due to the burning of fossil fuels. Not only are these fuels exhaustible, but they are also a prime cause
of health hazard for the people across the world.
With reference to the given pre content you are encouraged to explore and research about alternative sources
of energy and perform the following activities .Happy learning!

steps to be adopted along with the pictures of the video and the key highlights.
Methodology: A Vlog (duration 1 minute) and an explanatory PPT to be prepared and submitted .
Rubrics for Assessment:- Project will assessed on Content, Presentation and Timely submission.
Activity 2: Renewable Energy sources consumption by the top 4 countries mentioned above in comparison
to India.
Social Studies
Solar energy is the cleanest and most abundant renewable source of energy.
Solar technologies can harness this energy for a variety of uses, including
generating electricity and heating water for domestic, commercial or
industrial use.
Find the names of top 10 states of India that uses Solar energy and Mark
them on the Political Map of India (A3 Size Sheet).
Also make a colourful poster on Solar Energy and write a Catchy slogan on
it ( A3 Size Sheet)
