Poetic Devices __ 10th Grade English

What makes a poem popular? What makes one poem better than the other?  Though all these questions have multiple answers, One common and important answer to all these questions is the tactful use of Poetic devices.  But, what are Poetic devices?  Poetic devices  are tools that a poet can use to create rhythm, enhance a poem's meaning, or intensify a mood or feeling. These devices help piece the poem together, much like a hammer and nails join planks of wood together.  There are copious poetic devices , which we will be discussing in detail in this blog 1) In poetry,  repetition  is repeating words, phrases, or lines. 2) A  simile  is a comparison between two unlike things. Similes use the words 'like' or 'as.'  3) In contrast to a simile, a  metaphor  is a comparison between two unlike things without using the words like or as. A metaphor uses the senses and compares two things in a meaningful way 4) Poets ma...

Hormones in Plants _ Chemical coordination in Plants

Hormones! Teenagers with their mood swings, sudden anger and change in behaviour usually blame the change of hormones in their body. 😬 ( If the lamp broke because I kicked it with anger, blame the hormones not me! )  Growth in height, skin colour, excretion and even reproduction are controlled by various hormones in our body.  We know that hormones are very important in our body, but what about other living organisms on our earth? For example , What about Plants? The organism which forms the base of any food chain, without which none of the other life on earth can survive surely should have some mechanism for their survival and growth... You will be surprised to know that they do have Hormones!  ( Well, they don't go through a teenager phase like humans, so it's safe to say that we don't need to worry about 'moody' plants) Plants have various hormones which control their growth, fruting and death. We will be talking about each one of them in this blog. Let's st...

Trignometry and Circles. Are they related?

 The Tangent and Secant. Circle and Trigonometry . One is related to a closed figure with the highest number of sides ( basically infinite sides ) and the other is about a closed figure with the least number of sides . At first glance, we don't see any correlation between these two concepts, but they have the same terms expressing their important topics.  Most people might think that the mathematicians of that time just ran out of words to name the innumerable things they discover but that is not the case in this situation.  The Tangent and Secant of a circle and that from trignometry have a cardinal relation, which we will dig deep and uncover in this blog,  Let's consider a circle with centre O and radius 1 cm ( for making calculations easier) .Hence OA and OB are radii of the circle ( Both of 1 cm). Next, draw a line segment perpendicular from B to OA and name this point C. Hence BC is perpendicular to OA. Now, OBC is a right angled triangle. Considering the trigo...

Electricity and Magnetism

Electricity and Magnetism, Two seemingly different topics ( atleast till grade 9) are actually just two different faces of a coin, one is related to the other, one instigates the other.  Taught to high schoolers in vast detail, it carries as much importance in our report cards as it does in our real life ( Now, imagine living your life without TV or your laptop , these devices use both magnetism and electricity! That is the percentage of  importance it plays in our report cards too ( *gulp*)) Hence, in this blog we will go through the important formulas, units and concepts in these chapters  So, let's start!    Important units and formulas 1) Electric charge -- Coloumb                               -- CGS Unit - Electrostatic unit (esu) ( 1 Coloumb = 3 * 10⁹ esu)                               -- Faraday ...

Mitosis _ Cell Division

Omnis Cellula e cellula.  This statement from a man named Rudolf Virchow changed the entire outlook of biology and how organisms funtion. How our body functions. This statement must have clearly baffled your brain, more likely to think it as gibberish. But don't worry. If your brain declares this as Greek and Latin, congratulate it, as it is right. Ironically it is Latin. It basically means:- "Every new cell arises from old ones" And in this blog, we will see how this german scientist 's Latin statement shook the Biology world in English. 😜 But before we begin, we need to learn the meanings of few basic terms which will be repeated throughout the blog Common terms and Definition :- 1) Chromosomes :- These are the cell organelles which contain the genetic material.  2) Chromatin :- This is the network inside the cell nucleus which contains the DNA material. The chromatin network condenses to form Chromosomes when dividing.   3) Centromere and sister chromatids :- ...
