What do we mean by an Ecosystem?
We begin the topic by understanding the meaning of ecosystem.
The ecosystem comprises two words “eco” and “system”. The literal meaning of eco is environmental or which is not harmful to the environment, whereas the literal meaning of the system is an assemblage of things in regular order. Thus ecosystem means assemblage of living species and non- living elements in an orderly manner in a specific local or regional environment.
An ecosystem can be defined as a habitat (a place where an organism lives), where we find the living organisms and their relationship among themselves and their surrounding environment.
The ecosystem is the basic unit of the biosphere. Whereas, biosphere is made up of three components-
  1. Atmosphere- a thin blanket of air surrounding the earth.
  2. Lithosphere- total land area on the earth
  3. Hydrosphere- all types of water bodies on the earth-like ponds, lakes, rivers, seas, and oceans.
The whole earth is considered as biosphere consisting of thousands of ecosystems.
Thus the ecosystem includes water, air, sunlight, soil, plants, microorganisms, insects, small animals and big animals including human beings.

Why is Hindi Day celebrated on 14 September? After independence, the Government of India set a goal to give an ideal form to the mother tongue of the country and set a target for grammar and orthography using the Devanagari script to bring standardization in writing. Subsequently, on September 14, 1949, the Constituent Assembly decided by a vote that Hindi would be the official language of India. To propagate the importance of this decision and to spread Hindi in every region, India is celebrating Hindi Day every year from 1953 to 14 September, at the request of Rashtrabhasha Prachar Samiti, Wardha.

Hindi Day is observed every year on 14 September to mark the importance of the Hindi language in the country. The Hindi language is one of the oldest languages, which derives most of its academic vocabulary from the Sanskrit language written in the Deva

Magnetic and non-magnetic material Class 6 Science

Magnetic and non-magnetic material  Class 6 Science A magnet is a substance that is drawn to certain magnetic materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel. Magnets have the ability to draw iron to them. Natural magnets are rocks that naturally draw iron. Non-magnetic materials include things like wood, rubber, coins, feathers, leather, etc. that are not drawn to iron. Magnet characteristics It pulls magnetic materials, such as iron. The magnet's two ends are referred to as its poles. The magnet's diametrically opposed poles are drawn together. Heating, hammering, or dropping causes it to lose its characteristics. On the basis of properties types of Magnets Temporary magnets are those magnets that are magnetic for only a little duration. Typically, iron, cobalt, or nickel are used to make them. When they are close to the powerful magnet, they act like a magnet. When they are yanked away from the powerful magnet, they stop being magnetic. Permanent magnets are magnets that have magne
