Do you know that paper is made from wood? Ya, paper that we use in our daily life
is made from wood or tree. The process of making paper from wood is quite long.
The process is called wood-chipping. Wood-chipping is a process used to obtain pulp and

taken to a chipper which cuts them into small pieces called wood chips. The wood
chips are then screened to remove dirt and other impurities. At this stage they are either
exported in this form or changed into pulp by chemicals and heat. The pulp is then
bleached and the water content is removed.

How does Rain Fall?
Rain is one of the main sources of fresh water for almost all people in the world. It provides
suitable conditions for diverse ecosystems. It is also used as hydroelectric power plants and crop
irrigation. But, do you know how rain happens?
The rain’s phenomenon is actually what we often call as “water circle.” The concept of the water
cycle involves the sun heating the Earth’s surface water and causing the surface water to
evaporate. Then the water vapor rises into the Earth’s atmosphere.
The water in the atmosphere cools and condenses into liquid droplets. The droplets grow bigger
and heavier and fall to the Earth as precipitation.
However, not all rain can reach the surface of the earth. Some evaporates while failing through
dry air. This is what we call as “Virga”, a phenomenon which is often seen in hot, dry desert
regions.

Human body is made up of countless millions of cells. Food is needed to build up new cells and
replace the worn out cells. However, the food that we take must be changed into substance that
can be carried in the blood to the places where they are needed, this process is called digestion.

The first digestive process takes places in the mouth. The food we eat is broken up into small
pieces by the action of teeth, mixed with saliva, a juice secreted by glands in the mouth. Saliva
contains digestive juice which moisten the food, so it can be swallowed easily.

From the mouth, food passes through the esophagus (the food passage) into the stomach. Here,
the food is mixed with the juices secreted by the cells in the stomach for several hours. Then the
food enters the small intestine. All the time the muscular walls of the intestine are squeezing,
mixed and moving the food onwards.

In a few hours, the food changes into acids. There are soon absorbed by the villi (microscopic
branch projections from the intestine walls) walls and passed into the bloodstream.
