To begin the chapter, few questions will be asked from the students like- 
What is the difference between a house and a home?
Their responses will be summarised and students will be explained that -
The word ‘house’ is used to talk about a building made for people or a family to live in. The word ‘home’ is used to talk about the family living in a house. ‘House’ is more general word for the building someone lives in whereas ‘Home’ is more personal and involves the people and daily activities inside.
Moving further, students will be asked if they have ever thought of- 
1.Where do animals and birds live?
2. In earlier times, where did humans live when there were no houses?
Their responses will be summarised and they will be explained that animals live in caves, burrows, trees etc. And in earlier times, humans used to live in natural caves. In this way, students will be asked if they ever have wondered why we need a house? Their responses will be summarised and explanation will be done in this way that “A house provides a safe place for people to live. It provides us comfort, safety, security and a place to keep our belongings. It protects us from heat, cold, rain and animals”. And when we visit new places, we see different types of houses. The type of house depends on the weather conditions of a place and the materials available locally in that place. Based on the type of material used, houses are of two types-
Kutcha Houses
Pucca Houses
A Kutcha house is made with mud, bamboo, straw, wood, leaves etc. Most people in villages live in kutcha houses called huts. These houses are not expensive to build. They are not strong. They are called Kutcha because they flow away in floods or break down in earthquakes. So they are temporary houses. Some Kutcha Houses are- Stilt Houses, Igloo, Houseboat, Tent and Caravan. Explanation will be done of these kutcha houses with the help of presentation using extra marks module. Exercises related to Kutcha houses will be done and Pucca houses will be continued in the next week.
Activity:
My Dream House
Students will be asked to make a model of a house using materials that are easily available such as cardboard box, tape, cloth, cotton etc (Demonstration of it will be done during virtual class). Considering the weather of the place, its roof will be designed and walls of the home will be made. This will enhance their creativity and they will remember the features of the house nicely.
