AN EDUCATIONAL

RIP TO PHANSAD

By-Yashraj, Viraj, Tanvi, Tanmay and Yogesh

First of all I and my group members give a hearty ‘Thank you’ to all the guides, teachers and the supporting members for taking us to an educational tour at beautiful place. In this trip we were divided into various groups. We were accompanied by respected Mrs. Anita mam, Rajeshree mam and Satej sir. When we reached there we were introduced a new term of a field trip namely “SYSTAMATEC”. Our main aim was to find different species of plants and animals. There were many organisms, but we found some of them.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

WE OBSERVED MANY THINGS

BUT SOME OF THEM ARE :

1. SPIDER - Cyrtophorasp

Kingdom : AnimaliaPhylum : ArthropodaClass : ArachindaOrder : AraneaeFamily : AraneidaeGenus : CyrtophoraSpecies : Bidenta

CHARACTERISTICS OF CYRTOPHORASP• The Tent-web

spiders(genus Cyrtophora), although technically orb-web-spiders (family Araneidae), do not build orb webs. Their tent-like, highly complex non-sticky web is sometimes considered a precursor of the simplified orb-web. These webs are aligned horizontally, with a network of supporting threads above them. Females have a body length of mostly about 10 mm.

THE SPIDERS WHICH WE SAW WERE……………..

2.HoneybeeKingdom : AnimaliaPhylum : ArthropodaClass : InsectaOrder : HymenopteraFamily : ApidaeGenus : ApisSpecies : Mellifera

Characteristics of Honeybee Bees are flying insects that are

related to wasps, hornets and ants. Most bees have short, thick bodies covered with hair and , like all insects, six legs and three body parts : head, thorax and abdomen. The thorax In turn has three segments, each with a pair of legs. A tiny waist connects the thorax and abdomen.

THE ONE WHICH WE OBSERVED WAS…………………

3.CHAMELEONKingdom : AnimaliaPhylum : ChordataClass : ReptiliaOrder : SquamataFamily : ChamaeleonidaeGenus : ArchaiusSpecies : Tigris

CHARACTERISTICS OF CHAMELEONChameleons are best known for their ability to change colors easily. Scientists now believe that colors change in response to differences in temperature, light, and the chameleon's mood. Colors may change in both males and females or only in males, depending on the species, or type, of chameleon. Some species can change color only into shades of brown. When the chameleon is excited, stripes or patterns may appear. Sleeping or ill chameleons tend to be pale.

4. DRAGONFLYKingdom : AnimaliaPhylum : ArthropodaClass : InsectaOrder : OdonataFamily : LibellulidaeGenus :  Orthetrum Species : Pruinosum

CHARACTERISTICS OF DRAGONFLY• A dragonfly is an insect and so has

three main body segments and six legs. However, unlike other insects, the dragonfly relies entirely on flight for its movement; it does not use legs to walk but only for holding onto foliage during rest, grasping a mate during copulation and for grasping prey. Other characteristics that set the dragonfly apart from other insects are the eyes, wings, flight speed and maneuverability during flight. Dragonfly eyes consist of approximately 28,000 individual telescoping lenses called ommatidia..

5.TERRESTIAL FLOWERKingdom : PlantaePhylum : MagnoliophytaClass : MagnoliopsidaOrder : LamialesFamily : AcanthaceaeGenus :  EranthemumSpecies : Pullchelum

CHARACTERISTICS OF E.PULLCHELUMEranthemum pulchellum (Eranthemum nervosum, English: Blue Eranthemum, or Blue Sage) is a strongly branched shrub, popular with gardeners in tropical India and China because of the spikes of flowers that are bright gentian blue - an unusual color in the tropics. The flowers appear from green-and-white veined bracts that remain after the blooms fall, forming a column several inches long. The hairy leaves are large and dark green. A sprawling shrub which may reach a meter or more in height, E. pulchellum is usually kept lower and bushier through pruning. Light shade is preferred in a garden; in a greenhouse it needs warm conditions. It is also present in white shades.
