5. Differentiate between:

a) Dhiki and Jaanto

Answer: The two differences between Dhiki and Jaanto are -

Dhiki	Jaanto
1. The local technology which is used for grinding grains, removing husk from rice and beating rice is called Dhiki.	1. The local technology which is used for grinding food grains like wheat, maize, rice, millet, etc and changes them into flour is called Jaanto.
2. Dhiki is made from long wooden bar of about 2m length, 15 cm breadth and 10 cm thickness.	2. Jaanto is made by using two circular discs made of stone where the lower disc is fixed and upper disc is movable.

b) Kol for citrus fruits and Kol for oil seeds.

Answer: The two differences between Kol for citrus fruits and Kol for oil seeds are -

Kol for citrus fruits	Kol for oil seeds
1. The local Kol which is used to extract juice from citrus fruits like lemon, bhogate, sugarcane, nibuwa, etc is called Kol for citrus fruits.	1. The local Kol which is used to extract oil from seeds of mustard, sesame, soyabean, chiuri, etc is called Kol for oil seeds.
2. Kol for citrus fruits is made by using two bars where one bar is long, thick and broad having groove in it and another bar is long, thin narrow but strong.	2. Kol for oil seeds is made by a hollow circular mortar made of wood and pestle is placed on a mortar.

c) Traditional cooking stove and improved cooking stove.

Answer: The two differences between Traditional cooking stove and Improved cooking stove are -

Traditional cooking stove	Improved cooking stove
1. Traditional cooking stove uses lots of firewood for producing energy.	1. Improved cooking stove uses less energy and conserve forest.
2. Traditional cooking stove produces a lot of smoke.	2. Improved cooking stove emits less smoke.

6. Draw the clear and labeled diagram for the following.

a) Dhiki

b) Jaanto

c) Kol for sugarcane

GLOSSARY

Technology - use tools and methods

Equipment - tools, things

Groove - narrow passage

Mortar - a bowl for grinding

Chimney - structure for passing smoke

Disc - Circular flat object

#From above grade class-5 science notes of "Common Local Technology" Unit-15, we hope students can define the meaning of local technologies. They can be able to explain about the use and structure of dhiki, jaanto, kol and improved cooking stoves.
