History is the study of life in society in the past, in all its aspects, in relation to present developments and future hopes. History aims at helping students to understand the present existing social, political, religious, and economic conditions of the people.

Key Points

  •  Since everything changes with time so do society and monuments reflect a major development of society. In order to study the evolution of the present with respect to the past, we can find out monuments in the nearby areas and discuss their historic significance and heritage value.
  • Asking children to list five things that they buy from the market and categorizing them into things which are made in the city/village they live and which are bought by traders from other areas will also give us a brief idea about the evolution of things available in the past and present.
  •  Asking children to make a list of what Harappans ate is not an appropriate activity as the Harappan people no more exist, so there is no evolutionary data. 

​Thus, it is concluded that statements A and C are the most suitable activities to be conducted to emphasize that 'history helps us to understand how to present evolved and it tells about past of the present.

Ants have been living on the earth for more than 100 million years and can be found almost anywhere on the planet. It is estimated that there are about 20000 different species of ants. For this reason ants have been called Earth's most successful species. If you watch ants for any length of time you will see that they really do communicate with each other and very effectively too. Ants communicate by touching each other with their antennae. Ants also use chemicals called pheromones to leave scent trails for other ants to follow. Ants build many different types of homes. Many ants build simple little mounds out of dirt or sand. Other ants use small sticks mixed with dirt and sand to make a stronger mound that offers protection from rain. Western Harvester ants make a small mound on top, but then tunnels up to 15 feet straight down to hibernate during winter. Ant mounds consist of many chambers connected by tunnels. Different chambers are used for nurseries, food storage, and resting places for the worker ants. Some ants live in wood like termites. Army ants don't make a home at all but travel in a large groups searching for food. Ants are social insects which means they live in large colonies or groups. Some colonies consist of millions of ants. There are three types of ants in each species, the queen, the sterile female workers and males. The male ants only serve one purpose, to mate with future queen ants and do not live very long. The queen grows to adulthood, mates, and then spends rest of her life laying eggs. A colony may have only one queen, or there may be many queens depending on the species. Ants go through four stages of development: egg, larva, pupa and adult.
