Skills
1. Make a table, “My Schedule”, that contains your daily routine using the tables option.
2. You are planning to celebrate your birthday. Using the mail merge feature, design an invitation card to be sent to 10
friends.
3. Create a collage of wild animals and use the picture toolbar to edit each picture giving a different effect.
4. Write an article on “No life without Water” and use the important features like:
a. Thesaurus b. Special characters
c. Synonyms d. Pictures
e. Formatting text
5. Let’s prepare a document in LibreOffice Writer on the topic “Single Use Plastic Ban”. The presentation of the final
document should look like this:
Some facts about Single Use Plastic
1. We produce 300 million tons of plastic each year worldwide, half of which is for single-use items. That’s
nearly equivalent to the weight of the entire human population.
2. Whopping 91 percent of all plastic isn’t recycled at all. Instead it ends up in landfills or in the environment.
3. Left alone, plastics don’t really Break Down, but just Break Up. Over time, sun and heat slowly turn plastics into
smaller and smaller pieces until they eventually become what are known as Microplastics. These microscopic
plastic fragments, no more than 5 millimeters long, are hard to detect—and are just about everywhere. They
end up in the water, eaten by wildlife, and inside our bodies.
4. When eaten they can easily accumulate inside an animal’s body and cause health issues, like punctured
organs or fatal intestinal blockages.
5. Many of the chemicals in plastics are known Endocrine Disruptors, and research has suggested that human
exposure could cause health impacts including Hormonal Imbalances, Reproductive Problems like Infertility,
and even Cancer.
6. In 2015 researchers from the University of Georgia estimated that between 4.8 million and 12.7 million
metric tons of plastic per year make their way into the oceans via people living within 30 miles of a coast.
7. Recent studies found plastic in the guts of 90 percent of the seabirds tested and 100 percent of the turtles.
Alarmingly, scientists estimate that there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean by weight in 2050.
8. Plastic production contributes to Planet Warming Greenhouse Gas emissions at every point in its life cycle.
The process of drilling for plastic’s source materials, oil and gas, leads to methane leaking and flaring and is
often combined with clearing forests and wetlands that otherwise would have sequestered carbon. Refineries
where crude oil is turned into plastic make up one of the most greenhouse gas–intensive industries in the
manufacturing sector.
6. Make a list of all subjects you are studying in class 9. Also make a sub-list of the subject that combined under
Science and Social Studies. Use bullets and numbering at appropriate places.
