1. Explain two modes of reproduction with examples.

2. Read the assertion and reason statements given below and choose
the correct option.
Assertion : Metals like Copper and Aluminum are used to make
electric wires.
Reason : Metals are good conductors of electricity and heat.
 a) Assertion and reason both are correct statement and reason is
correct explanation for assertion.
b) Assertion and reason both are correct statement and reason is not
correct explanation for assertion.

2. A simple pendulum makes 20 oscillations in 40 seconds. What is the
time period and frequency of its oscillation?
3. What is the property of vibration which determines the pitch of the
sound? Draw wave patterns and differentiate them as low pitch and
high pitch sound.
4. What happen when a copper vessel is exposed to moist air for long?
Also write the equation.
5. How are babies produced through IVF technique? What are such
babies called?
6. Match the following:

LEVEL3

1. Identify the sources of noise pollution in your locality. Discuss with

your parents, friends and neighbors. Provide suggestions to control
each of them.
2. Describe female reproductive organs with the help of a labelled
diagram.
3. Mercury is largely used in thermometers to measure the temperature. It
is a very dangerous metal as its density is very high. If it get into the
 food chain, it leads to mercury poisoning.
(a) What two precautions you must take while handling equipments
containing mercury?
(b) Why mercury is used in thermometers?
(c) Can you suggest other alternatives to mercury thermometers?

TIIMS Practice questions

1. When sound waves with large amplitude are compared to sound
waves with small amplitude, which of the following is true?

(a) Sound waves with large amplitudes have less energy and sound
quieter.
(b) Sound waves with large amplitudes have more energy and sound
louder.
(c) Sound waves with large amplitudes have the same energy and
sound quieter.
(d)Sound waves with large amplitudes have the same energy and
sound louder.
2. The graphs below describe two waves. The waves are traveling at the
same speed. Select the graph of the wave with the greater
Wavelength.

3. A gas is heated and its temperature increases. What happens to the gas
molecules?
(a) They get bigger.
(b) They move faster.
(c) They move slower.
(d)They increase in number.
4. The diagram shows an electric bell inside a jar. The electric bell is
switched on and a ringing sound is heard. Th e air is then pumped out
of the jar. What will happen to the sound of the bell when the air is
pumped out of the jar? Explain your answer.
