KULACHI HANSRAJ MODEL SCHOOL

HOLIDAYS HOMEWORK
CLASS IX 2021-2022

In an age of social media and Netflix, it’s easier than ever for our
youngsters to spend their downtime in front of television screens.
While every child should be allowed his/her own time to relax and
rejuvenate themselves, it’s important not to let that behavior dictate
their entire summer break.
All homework provides the perfect opportunity to keep their "school
brain" ticking over, and keeps the students challenged and
stimulated. As our children grow up, homework is a very important
part of their schooling, allowing them to develop vital skills such as
independent research. It also helps them to prepare for the demands
of a university career.
Many undergraduate degrees will involve a lot of directed learning,
but others will rely upon the students going away and spending their
own time reading, researching and writing. One way to begin learning
these skills is through holiday homework assignments while the child
is still in school.

If you are not willing to learn, no one can help you. If you are
determined to learn, no one can stop you.

Happy Learning!

*Holidays Homework will be a key component of Students

Case study type Question

Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow based on the
passage and related studied concepts.
Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass. Matter is classified into solid,
liquid and gas. In solid state particles are closely packed and have a very strong
force of attraction,particles can only vibrate and rotate around fixed positions. In a
liquid state, particles are less closely packed and have a strong force of attraction
but less than solids, particles can move throughout the liquid.
In Gaseous state, particles are far apart with a weak force of attraction and are in
a state of constant random motion. Gases can be easily compressed whereas
solids and liquids are incompressible.

1. An inflated balloon is placed in the refrigerator, what will happen?

(a) Balloon will shrink and particles will move faster and become closer.
(b) Balloon will expand and particles will move faster and become far apart.
(c) Balloon will shrink, particles will move slower and become close together.
(d) Balloon will expand, particles will move slower and come closer therefore,
the volume of the balloon will decrease.

2.When solid changes into vapours, the process is called:

(a) Evaporation (b) Boiling (c) Sublimation (d) Vapourisation

3.A substance melts at 5°C and boils at 150°C. What will be its physical state at
room temperature?
