6. HABITAT Types of fabrics
Habitat is a place where organism like Salesman explains something about quality of a fabric to the customers
Organisms live under ground, on ground, in water, on water We use different types of fabrics in different seasons
Pond as habitat Selection and priority of dress
Organisms that lives in different levels of a pond Things made up of fabric
Tree is habitat Types of fibres - natural, artificial
Various levels of tree is suitable to live various organisms Characteristics of fibres
Our house is a good habitat not only for us but also for different organisms Jinning
Orchard is a wonderful avenue Spinning - Making of cotton yarn from cotton fibre
Terrestrial, aquatic, desert habitats Weaving
Diversity of habitats in Telugu States Power looms and hand looms
Good habitat - Good life Making jute yarn
We should never destruct - destroy any habitat Jute - jute yarn characters
