1 GRADE VI
FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS
Have you been lost or confused because someone gave you poor
directions or because you were not really listening? Most of us had
these experiences. They make us realize why it is important to know
how to follow directions.
Directions are concise, direct to the point. They use precise and
carefully chosen words to communicate meaning. They are given in
oral or written form.
When you were in Grade V you studied following 5 to 6 steps
printed directions and filling out forms.
This module will strengthen your skills in following directions. It
will include following series of directions using prescriptions, cooking
recipes, experiments and interpreting a diagram/road map and other
situations.
Write your answers in your notebook when you do the
exercises.
Good Luck!

Read the simple experiment and answer the questions that follow.
B. Are sounds transmitted only through air? Let us try this experiment.
You will need
• a wrist watch (not digital) • a table
What to do:
1. Hold the watch to your ear and listen to the ticking. Then gradually move it away until you can no longer hear the sound.

What happens!
The ticking of the watch is distinctly heard by the ear because sounds are better transmitted through solids than through air. Sounds also travel easily through bricks and glass. That is why sounds can be heard through walls and windows.

3. If you were not able to follow the direction, what will happen?
