A Treat for Mosquitoes
This chapter from NCERT Looking Around, Class 5, Chapter 8 tracks how mosquitoes spread malaria and dengue through stagnant water and bites. Children map coolers, pots, puddles, and gutters where larvae breed, and learn how nets, screens, clean surroundings, and safe drinking water give protection. Stories of health workers, blood tests, and medicines show why early treatment matters. The lesson turns daily habits of cleanliness into a shared fight against small insects and big illness.
