There is often confusion over the idea of discoveries and inventions. Discovery is
Global Classroom

unearthing of an already existing item or site. An invention, on the other hand is

making something new. Hence, America, which always existed, was discovered by
Columbus where as Thomas Edison invented the electric bulb!
Given above is list of discoveries and inventions. Name the respective
discoverers/inventions, or discoveries/inventions as the case might be.

 ART and CRAFT- fun work
Global Classroom

Make your colour wheel.

Colour a circle of white cardboard with the colours of the spectrum in different
segments. Ask an adult to push a sharp pencil through the middle. Then spin the
wheel as fast as you can. The colours on the wheel, will appear to blur and mix,
making the wheel look white.

 (1) Box Town

It is an easy way to make a toy town using

old boxes, cartons, coloured paper, scissors,
tape, paper tubes, and crayons.

To make buildings:
· 1. Wrap up boxes and other empty containers with coloured paper.
2. Take the help of an adult to cut out doors if wanted.
3. Use tissue tubes for chimneys.
4. Decorate with windows, flower boxes etc.

To make trees:
1. Use a tissue paper tube for the trunk.
2. Draw a green blob on stiff paper or cardboard for the leaf canopy and cut
it out.
3. Tape the green canopy to the tube

leaf and glue it on the white central part of the wind sock.

13
 Cut some red and white crepe paper streamers and glue or staple them to one
end of the wind sock.

Punch four holes along the top of the wind sock.

Cut two pieces of string about a foot long. Tie the strings to the wind sock (tie
the opposite ends of a string to the holes on opposite sides of the cylinder). Tie a
longer piece of string to the smaller pieces - you'll hang the wind sock from
this piece of string.

(3) Black Cat Hat for Halloween

This scary black cat hat (or decoration) is easily made from construction paper.
Materials required:
! one black construction paper which is cut into two pieces (One large and one regular size)

(this will be the cat's tail).

Cut out yellow eyes, some white whiskers, a pink nose and mouth along with ear
insides. Glue the pieces onto the cat's face.
Using the black crayon or marker, give the cat vertical pupils.

14
 Draw a spiral inside the circle. Cut along the line. This will be the cat's tail.

Twirl the half circle into a cone-shaped hat. Staple along the seams.

Glue the tail to the back of the hat, between and above the legs.
Glue the head to the front of the hat. Glue two of the cat's legs onto the
bottom front of the hat. Make sure that the legs don't block your eyes when
