Iron, plastic, rubber, glass, mirror, cobalt
 Electricity answers
6. Because distilled water acts as an insulator as it is purest water. Whereas tap water has salts and
impurities and acts as a conductor.

7. Because they are insulators and avoid direct contact with electric current while touching electric
wires.

8. Components of electric circuit can be following:

a. A cell or a battery
b. Connecting wires made of copper or aluminium
c. Switch
d. Bulb or other electric device

10. It is a simple device that either breaks the circuit or completes it. For example-in a microwave or
toy cars we have switches to turn it ON or OFF.

11. An electric cell is a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. It has two metal
plates indicating two terminals-negative and positive. It has chemical inside it.

Magnets Answers

1. The materials which get attracted towards a magnet are magnetic materials. For example-iron,
cobalt etc. Materials which are not attracted towards a magnet are non-magnetic materials. For
example-plastic, glass etc.

2. Magnetic compass can be used to know about the directions. Magnet can be used to separate
magnetic materials such as iron from the non-magnetic ones.

3. Magnetic compass is a small box with glass cover. It consists of a magnetised needle, which
rotates freely and indicates north south direction when comes to rest.

4. The two ends of the bar magnet represents its two poles.

5. a) Magnet has two poles north and South Pole.

b) Same poles of two magnets repel each other.
c) Opposite poles of two magnets attract each other.

6 When a bar magnet moves or rotates freely, it comes to rest in north south direction. This is the
principle on which magnetic compass works.

7. Bar magnets should be kept in pairs with their unlike poles on the same side. They must be
separated by piece of wood. For horse shoe magnet one should keep a piece of iron across the poles.

8 A soft metal core made into a magnet by the passage of electric current through a coil surrounding
it.

9 For horse shoe magnet one should keep a piece of iron across the poles.

10 ans 7

11 Magnets lose their property if they are heated, hammered, dropped from some height or not stored
properly.

12 Hang up the magnet by a cotton thread so that it hangs freely. When it comes to rest, we note that
magnet is lying in north-south direction.
 Light shadow answers
1 If we are able to see clearly through an object, it is said to be transparent. Whereas there are some
objects through which we can see but not clearly. Such objects are known as translucent objects.

2 Pinhole camera can be made with simple material like cardboard, tracing paper etc. It can be used
to image the sun and brightly lit objects.

3 Light travels in a straight line and when opaque object obstructs it, shadow is formed.

4 When any surface reflects light without absorbing it, it is known as reflection.

5 Transparent-glass and water.

Opaque-wood and plastic box
Translucent- fog and smoke

6 We cannot see our image in the mirror in complete dark room because there is no light to reflect.

7 Luminous –sun, stars

Non luminous-moon, table, chair

8 Objects that give out or emit light of their own are known as luminous objects. For example candle,
sun etc. Objects that cannot give out or emit light of their own are known as non- luminous objects.
Such as chair, book etc.

9 We cannot see objects through T shaped or N shaped pipe because light travels through straight
line.

10 To see an object, we need source of light, eyes and object. When light emitted by luminous body
falls on an object, it is reflected back and received by our eyes. Then we see that object.
11 A) Sun b) flame of gas burner.

12 Moon appears bright in night because it reflects sun light that falls on it.
13 Transparent and some translucent objects do not cast shadow because light passes through them.
14 Polished surface cause glares in our eyes because they produce regular reflection of light.

15a) Air and water b) polythene and smoke.

16 Paper, rock and sun.

17 When an object is placed in path of light, a dark portion is formed on the opposite side of object.
This dark portion is shadow.

18 Optical object by which we can see objects located above our line of sight.
 Motion and measurements answers

1 When objects move along a straight line such motion is called rectilinear motion. A sprinter in 100m
race move along a straight track. This is an example of rectilinear motion.

2 We cannot use an angul (finger) or mutthi (fist) as standard unit of measurement of length because
the sizes of body parts of different people are different. So it can create confusion.

3 International system of units (SI Units) is the system of unit of measurement used all over the world
now.SI unit for length is metre.
4 The height of a girl in cm is 150 cm and in mm is 1500 mm.

5 Motion of ceiling fan is circular motion and motion of a pendulum is periodic motion.
6 When an object moves in a circular path, such motion is called circular motion. For example- Motion
of a point marked on the blade of an electric fan is a circular motion.

7 We can’t use elastic tape to measure distances because we will not know how much we stretched
the tape during measurement. It will cause error.
8 An object repeats its motion after some time; this type of motion is called periodic motion. For
example- Motion of a pendulum is a periodic motion.

9 10 mm, 5 cm,1 km
10 1000 m =1km.Therefore 3000 m = 3km.
11 The motion of a falling stone is rectilinear motion and motion of a stone tied to a tread and whirled
with hand is circular motion.

12 200 cm and 2000 mm

13 We can measure the length of a curved line by using a thread. Measure the length between the
beginning and final mark on the thread.

14 Height of Reena is 170 cm.

15 1 km, 1 m, 1 cm, 1 mm.

16 When objects move along a straight line such motion is called rectilinear motion. Whereas when
an object moves in a circular path, such motion is called circular motion.

17 Units of length are kilometres, metres, centimetres, millimetres etc.

18 Kilogram is the unit of weight whereas a kilometre is unit of length.

1. 19 circular
2. Periodic
3. 3000
4. Periodic.
