Silk and woollen clothes are often damaged by insects.

• We wear raincoats when it rains so that we can stay dry and not get wet.
• Raincoats are like a special cover that helps us stay comfortable even when it's raining outside.
• They keep the raindrops away from touching our clothes and body, helping us stay nice and dry throughout the rainy weather.
• So, next time it rains, remember to wear your raincoat to stay dry just like a superhero with their special rain shield!

• True When something is made of synthetic fibres and it comes close to fire, it can catch fire very quickly. Instead of just burning up like paper or wood, synthetic fibres might melt and shrink away in the flame.
• That's why it's important to be careful when wearing clothes made of synthetic materials, especially near things like stoves or fireplaces. So, it is true that synthetic fibres can catch fire easily and behave this way near flames.

White coloured clothes reflect heat.

• False. Cotton, jute, and linen are obtained from plants, not animals. They are natural fibres that come from plants like the cotton plant and the jute plant.
• These fibres are then woven or knitted into fabrics to make clothes.
• Clothes made from natural fibres are comfortable and absorb sweat well, making them great for hot weather.

We should use naphthalene balls to protect silk and woollen clothes.

• True! Loose fitting clothes like kurta-pyjama or lungi are indeed more comfortable and cooler than tight clothes. Loose clothes allow air to circulate around our body, keeping us feeling fresh and cool.

• So, it's a great idea to choose loose fitting clothes, especially in hot weather, to stay comfortable!

Cotton clothes absorb sweat

Silk is obtained from the pupa stage of the silkworm.

Synthetic fibres are made from chemicals. These fibres are created by humans in factories using different substances. They are not natural like cotton or wool, but they are strong and dry quickly. Nylon, rayon, and polyester are examples of synthetic fibres.

• Early humans did not just drape clothes over their bodies. Over time, they learned to weave and stitch clothes. Clothes were made more fitted with seams, laces, buttons, and more. This helped them to protect themselves from cold, heat, dust, rain, insects, and also to look good.
• Weaving and stitching clothes was an important development in human history as it allowed people to make clothes that fit better and provided more protection.

Clothes made from natural fibres have air spaces between them. This makes them comfortable, especially when it's hot. Natural fibres come from plants and animals like cotton, wool, and silk.
