Bone marrow: the soft, inside portion of a bone where blood cells are made 3. Vertebrae: the small bones that make up the backbone 4, Cartilage: soft covering of the ends of bones at the joints 5, Ligaments: strong stretchy bands that keep the bones together at the joints 6. Tendons: tough bands which attach muscles to bones 7. Exoskeleton: a skeleton that is outside the body 8. Endoskeleton: a skeleton that is inside the body 9. Vertebrates: animals that have backbones or vertebral column 10. Streamlined shape: shape that is narrow in front and broader in the middle I. Question and Answers 1. What is a ball and socket joint? Ans: The joint that allows movement in all directions is called a ball and socket joint. In such joints, the end of one bone is round like a ball. It fits into the hollow part (socket) of other bone. E.g. shoulder joint and hip joint. 2. Which of the skull bones are movable? ‘Ans: The lower jaw bone is the only movable bone in the skull. The joint between skull and the neck is also movable (pivot joint). 3. Why can’t our elbow move backwards? Ans: The elbow has a hinge joint that allows only back and forth movement. So it cannot be moved backwards. Il, Exemplar Q&A 1. What would have happened, if our backbone was made of one single bone? ‘Ans: If our backbone was made up of one single bone, then we would not have been able to bend our body (from waist). Therefore, it is made up of 33 small bones (vertebrae) to give more flexibility. 2. Provide one-word answer to the statements given below.a. Joint which allows movement in all directions. Ball and socket joint b, Hard structure that forms the skeleton. Bones ¢. Part of the body with a fixed joint. Upper jaw with skull d. Help in the movement of body by contraction and relaxation. Muscles e. Bones that join with chest bone at one end and to the backbone at the other end. Rib £. Framework of bones which give shape to our body. Skeleton g. Bones which enclose the organs of our body that lie below the abdomen. Pelvic bones h, Joint where our neck joins the head. Pivotal i, Part of the skeleton that forms the ear lobe. Cartilage 3. Bhoojho fell off a tree and hurt his ankle. On examination, the doctor confirmed that the ankle was fractured. How was it detected? Ans: The doctor must have observed a swelling around his ankle and taken an X-ray of his ankle. X-ray images confirm any type of injuries/fractures in the bone. 4, Which type of movement would have been possible if a. Our elbow had a fixed joint b. We were to have a ball and socket joint between our neck and head. Ans: a. If our elbow had a fixed joint, we would not be able to bend /fold our arms. A fixed joint does not allow any movement. b. If we were to have a ball and socket joint between our neck and head, we would be able to rotate our head 360 degrees. A ball and socket joint allows maximum movement in all directions. 5, Earthworms are known as farmer's friends. Why? ‘Ans: Earthworms make their way through the soil, by loosening the soil and allowing more air to get in. Their body excretes undigested material that increases the fertility of soil. They also help in the decomposition of organic wastes. This is called vermicomposting. All this helps the crops to grow healthy. That is why earthworms are regarded as farmer's friends. 6. How is skeleton of a bird well-suited for flying? Ans: The skeleton of a bird is well-suited for flying because a. Their bones are hollow and light in weight. b. Their forelimbs are modified as wings. ¢. The shoulders are strong, thus helpful in flying. d. The breast bones are modified to hold flight muscles which are used to move the wings up and down for flying. e. They have streamlined body, which reduces the air re:7. In the figure given below, there are two snakes of the same size slithering on sand. Can you identify which of them would move faster and why? Ans: Snakes do not have limbs but have rough scales on the underside of the body that helps them in their locomotion (movement). A snake forms loops in its body while slithering. Each loop of the snake gives it a forward push by pressing against the ground. The snake with a larger number of loops will move much faster than the snake with lesser number of loops. Thus, snake A will move faster than snake B as we can see that more loops are formed by snake A. Chapter - 09 The Living Organisms and their Surroundings |. Vocabulary 1. Ecology: Study of the relationship between living things and their environment. 2. Habitat: A place where the conditions for the existence of a living organism is present and where it can survive, breed and flourish 3. Adaptation: Features that help an organism to survive in a particular type of habitat, 4, Hibernation: Winter sleep of some organisms 5. Stimulus: Changes in our surroundings that makes us to respond to them 6. Excretion: The process of getting rid of waste by an organism 7. Reproduction: The process of producing more of their own species I. Question and answers 1, What is a habitat? ‘Ans: Habitat means dwelling place (home). The surroundings where organisms live is called a habitat. The organisms depend for their food, water, air, shelter and other needs on their habitat. Several kinds of plants and animals may share the same habitat.2. How are cactus adapted to survive in a desert? ‘Ans: 1. Cactus lose very little water through transpiration. The leaves in cactus plants are present in the shape of spines. This helps in reducing loss of water from the leaves through transpiration. 2, Its stem is converted into a leaf-like structure. Photosynthesis in these plants is usually carried out by the stems. 3. The stem is also covered with a thick waxy layer, which helps to retain water. 4. Cactus plants have roots that go very deep into the soil for absorbing water. 3. Which of the things in the following list are non-living? Plough, Mushroom, Sewing machine, Radio, Boat, Water hyacinth, Earthworm Ans: Non-living things: Plough, Sewing machine, Radio, Boat. 4. Give two examples of non-living things, which show any two characteristics of living things. Ans: Bus and Machine both shows movement and consume energy. 5. Which of the non-living things listed below, were once part of a living thing? Butter, Leather, Soil, Wool, Electric bulb, Cooking oil, Salt, Apple, Rubber Ans: Butter, Leather, Wool, Cooking oil, Apple, Rubber. 6. st the common characteristics of the living things. ‘Ans: Living things have certain common characteristics — they need food, respire, excrete, respond to their environment, reproduce, grow and show movement, 7. Explain why speed is important for survival in the grasslands for animals that live there. (Hint: There are few trees or places for animals to hide in grasslands habitats.) ‘Ans: In the grasslands, there are less number of trees and places to hide. The animals are vulnerable to predators (e.g. lions, tigers, wolves etc.). They can only survive and escape if they can run faster. Therefore speed is important for survival in the grasslands for animals (e.g. deer) that live there. I, Exemplar Q&A 1. Paheli has a rose plant in her garden. How can she increase the number of rose plants in her garden? Ans: Paheli can increase the number of rose plants in the garden by planting stem cutting (a small piece of stem) of the rose plant. The cutting should be made in such a way that there are some buds on it. Its lower part is buried in the moist soil. After few days, the cutting develops roots and grow into new plant. Thus, the number of rose plants increase. 2. Why do desert snakes burrow deep into the sand during the day?‘Ans: Snakes in the desert burrow deep into the sand during the day when it is very hot because the deeper layers of sand are cooler. This allows them to stay away from the heat of the desert that persists through the day time as well. This prevents loss of water from their body. 3. Write the adaptation in aquatic plants due to which a. submerged leaves can bend in the flowing water. b. Leaves can float on the surface of water. Ans: a. Leaves of aquatic plants are narrow and thin (ribbon like) which allow them to bend in the flowing water b. Stems/Stalks of leaves of aquatic plants are long, soft, hollow and light which allow the leaves to float on the surface of water. 4, Mention one adaptation present in following animals. a. In camels to keep their bodies away from the heat of the sand. b, In frogs to enable them to swim. ¢. In dolphins and whales to breathe in air when they swim near the surface of water. Ans: a. Camels have long legs to keep their bodies away from the heat of sand b. Frogs have webbed feet that enable them to swim. c. Dolphins and Whales have blow holes which help them to breathe in air when they are near the surface of water, 5. Some desert plants have very small leaves, whereas some others have only spines. How does this benefit the plants? ‘Ans: Desert plants have very small leaves or spines as adaptation to dry conditions of the desert. Because of this modification of leaves, the surface of lamina is reduced which decreases water loss from the leaves through transpiration, Since very little water is lost through transpiration, it benefits the desert plants to survive on stored food and less water for a long time. 6. What are the specific features present in a deer that help it to detect the presence of predators like lion? Ans: Deer have the following features to detect the presence of predators like lion in a forest or grassland. Big ears to hear movement of predators very easily. b. Eyes on the sides of its head which allow it to see in all directions at the same time. 7. Read the features of the plants given below. a. Thick waxy stem b. Short roots ¢. Cone-shaped plants 4d. Sloping branches e. Small or spine like leavesf.

Short roots- aquatic plants Cone-shaped plants- mountainous plants Sloping branches- mountainous plants Small or spine like leaves-desert plants Hollow stem- aquatic plant 8. Like many animals although a car also moves i reasons. is not considered as a living organism. Give two or three Ans: A car, although it moves is not considered as a living organism because of the following reasons: a. Living organisms have the ability to move on their own, where as a car moves by burning of fuels like diesel and petrol. b. Acar does not show any other living characteristics like respiration, digestion, reproduction or growth, that are shown by all iving organisms and these processes are essential for living beings. ‘What are the adaptive features of a lion that help it in hunting? Ans: Adaptive features of a lion that helps it in hunting are: a. Long sharp claws in its front legs to catch prey. b. Eyes placed in front of the head allow it to know the correct location and movement of its prey. ¢. Brown body colour helps it to hide in dry grasslands, this avoids the detection by its prey. Chapter 11 Light, Shadows and Reflection |. Vocabulary- 1. Light: the natural form of energy that make things visible. 2. Shadow: the dark area produced by an opaque object which is in between the light source and the screen 3. Reflection: changing the direction of light when it falls on an object such as a plane mirror. 4, Luminous: objects that produce their own light. 5. Non-luminous: objects that cannot produce their own light. 6. Transparent: objects that allow light to pass through them completely are called transparent. Ex; glass, water. 7. Translucent: objects that allow light to pass through them partially are called translucent. Ex: butter paper 8. Opaque: objects that do not allow light to pass through them. Ex: table, bricksIl Question and answers 1. Classify the objects or materials given below as opaque, transparent or translucent, luminous or non-luminous: Air, water, piece of rock, sheet of aluminium, mirror, wooden board, sheet of polythene, cd, smoke, sheet of plane glass, fog, piece of red hot iron, umbrella, lighted florescent tube, wall, sheet of carbon paper, flame of a gas burner, sheet of cardboard, lighted torch, sheet of cellophane, wire mesh, kerosene stove, sun, firefly, moon. Ans: Object Transparent/translucent Luminous/non-luminous /opaque Air transparent non-luminous Water transparent non-luminous Piece of rock opaque non-luminous Sheet of aluminium opaque non-luminous Mirror opaque non-luminous Wooden board opaque non-luminous Sheet of polythene translucent non-luminous co opaque non-luminous Smoke translucent non-luminous Sheet of plane glass transparent non-luminous Fog translucent non-luminous Piece of red-hot iron opaque luminous Umbrella opaque non-luminousLighted fluorescent tube | opaque luminous The flame of a gas burner | opaque luminous Sheet of a carbon paper | opaque non-luminous wall opaque non-luminous Sheet of cardboard opaque non-luminous Lighted torch opaque luminous Sheet of cellophane translucent non-luminous Wire mesh translucent non-luminous Kerosene stove opaque luminous sun opaque luminous Firefly opaque luminous Moon opaque non-luminous 2. Can you think of creating a shape that would give a circular shadow if held in one way and a rectangular shadow if held in another way? ‘Ans: When a cylinder is held in sunlight, depending upon the orientation (placement) of the cylinder, a circular or rectangular shadow will be formed. When the top of the cylinder faces the sun, then the shadow formed is circular. On the other hand, when the side of cylinder faces the sun then the rectangular shadow is formed. 3, Ina completely dark room, if you hold up a mirror in front of you, will you see your reflection in the mirror? ‘Ans: An image is formed due to reflection of light in a plane mirror. In a completely dark room, there is no source of light. Thus, no reflection of light takes place by the mirror placed in the room. Hence, no image will be formed by a mirror in a completely dark room. IL, Exemplar Q&A1. A student covered a torch with red cellophane sheet to obtain red light. Using the red light she obtains a shadow of an opaque object. She repeats this activity with green and blue light. Will the colour of the light affect the shadow? Explain. ‘Ans: The colour of the light will not affect the shadow because shadow is the dark patch formed when an object obstructs the path of the light and hence no light reaches the shadow region. 2. A football match is being played at night in a stadium with flood lights ON. You can see the shadow of a football kept at the ground but cannot see its shadow when it is kicked high in the air. Explain. Ans: We can see the shadow of football lying on the ground because the ground acts as a screen for it. However, when the football is kicked high, the ground, which is acting as a screen is away from the football, hence no shadow of football will be formed on the ground. 3. A student had a ball, a screen and a torch in working condition. He tried to form a shadow of the ball on the screen by placing them at different positions. Sometimes the shadow was not obtained. Explain. Ans: Some of the reasons could be: a, The screen is far away from the ball b. The beam of light from the torch is falling parallel to the screen on the ball. ¢. The torch is kept away from the ball 4. A sheet of plywood, a piece of muslin cloth and that of a transparent glass, all of the same size and shape were placed at Position A one by one in the arrangement shown in Fig. 11.12. Will the shadow be formed in each case? If yes, how will the shadow on the screen be different in each case? Give reasons for your answer. NaauNoSs Fig. 11.12 Ans: The shadow will not be formed in each case. Only the piece of muslin cloth and the sheet of plywood will cast shadow on the screen 1, The sheet of plywood will form a dark shadow as it blocks the path of light completely. 10"1 2. The piece of muslin cloth will form a lighter shadow as it allows light to pass through it partially. 3. The transparent glass will allow most of the light to pass through it. So, no shadow will be formed on the screen, Chapter-13 Fun with Magnets |. Vocabulary 11, Magnetic substances: substances that are attracted by a magnet 2, Magnetic field: the region around a magnet where its magnetic influence is felt. 3. North pole: the end of the magnet that points north when the magnet is freely suspended. 4, South pole: the end of a magnet that points south when the magnet is freely suspended Ml.

Chapter 12 Electricity and circuits |. Vocabulary 1. Filament: The thin wire in the electric bulb that glows when electricity is passed through it 2. Terminal: Point in an electric cell, bulb or other electric appliances where wires are connected 3. Ci uit: The path around which an electric current flows 4, Conductor: A substance that conducts electricity 5. Insulator: A substance that does not allow electric current to flow through it Ml Question and answers 1. Explain why the bulb would not glow in the arrangement shown in the figure.12.13 Ans: Electric current does not pass through plastic scales, tester holders, etc, because these objects are bad conductors of electricity (insulators). From the figure, we can observe that one terminal of the bulb is connected to a tester holder. Hence the current will not flow through the circuit and the bulb does not glow. 2. Complete the drawing showing in the figure to indicate where the free ends of the two wires should be joined to make the bulb glow. ‘Ans: The given circuit is not complete. To complete the circuit, the positive terminal of the cell should be connected to one end of the switch and the other terminal of the bulb should be connected to the other end of the switch. Then the circuit is closed and the bulb glows. 3. What is the purpose of using an electric switch? Name some electrical gadgets that have switches built into them.15 ‘Ans: A switch is an electric device which makes or breaks a circuit. If the switch is ‘on’ then the current can flow through the circuit (closed circuit). if the switch is off then the current cannot flow through the circuit (open circuit) Examples: washing machines, electric lamps, mixers, table fans, radios ete. 4. Would the bulb glow after completing the circuit shown pin? jure 12.14. using an eraser instead of a safety ‘Ans: Erasers are bad conductors of electricity. They do not conduct electricity (insulator). The circuit becomes open and the current does not flow through the circuit. Hence the bulb does not glow if we replace the safety pin with an eraser. 5. Would the bulb glow in the circuit shown in fig.12.15? Ans: The bulb will not glow, because the two terminals of the cell are connected to the single terminal of the bulb which is similar to the bulb which is not at all connected to the circuit. The bulb would glow when the two terminals of the bulb are connected to the two terminals of the battery, y 6. Using the ‘conduction tester’ on an object, it was found that the bulb begins to glow. Is the object a conductor or an insulator? Explain. ‘Ans: When the two ends of the conductor tester are touched with an object, then the bulb of the tester would glow if the object conducts electricity (conductor) and the bulb does not glow if the object does not conduct electricity (insulator) If the tester touches the object and it glows means the object is a conductor. 7. Why should electricians wear rubber gloves while repairing an electric switch at your home? ‘Ans: An electric switch is an electrical appliance. When its internal parts are touched with naked hands, then it may cause electric shock. As rubber cannot conduct electricity, electricians wear rubber gloves while repairing a switch or any other electrical appliance. 8. Handles of tools such as screwdrivers and pliers used by the electricians for repair work usually have plastic or rubber cover on them. Can you explain why? ‘Ans: Rubber is a bad conductor of electricity it does not allow current to flow through it. Hence, handles of tools such as screwdrivers, pliers, etc. which are used by electricians for repair work usually have plastic or rubber cover on them. This protects them from electric shocks, IL. Exemplar Q&A 1. You are provided with a bulb, a cell, a switch and some connecting wires. Draw a diagram to show the connections between them to make the bulb HG glow. ‘Answer: The circuit is completed so that the bulb glows.16 2. Will the bulb glow in the circuit shown in the figure? Explain. ‘Ans: As in the circuit diagram, it seems that the switch is open, i.e., there is an air gap between the connecting wires, so the circuit is not complete and therefore the bulb will not glow. 3. A torch requires 3 cells. Show the arrangement of the cells with a diagram inside the torch so that the bulb glows. ‘Ans: The arrangement of bulb should be such that the positive terminal of a battery touches the base of the bulb. When switched on, the bulb will glow. 4, Paheli connected two bulbs to a cell as shown in the figure. She found that the filament of the bulb Bis broken. Will the bulb A glow in this circuit give reason? ‘Ans: No, the bulb A will not glow in the circuit because the filament of the bulb B is broken and the current will not pass through it. i.e., the circuit is broken or incomplete. Therefore, the current will not flow in the whole circuit. 5. Why does a bulb have two terminals? Ans: Bulb has two terminals to connect the filament with the terminals of a cell or a battery. Then current can pass through the filament. 6. Paheli wanted to glow a torch bulb using a cell. She could not get connecting wires, instead, she got two strips of aluminium foil. Will she succeed? Explain. Ans: Yes, she will succeed. Aluminium foil strips can act as connecting wires because aluminium is a metal and hence conductor of electricity, it will complete the circuit and therefore, the bulb will glow. 7. Atorch is not functioning, though contact points in the torch are in working condition. What can be the possible reasons for this? Mention any three,Ans: The possible reasons for not functioning of the torch are: 1, The torch may be fused. 2. The cells may be discharged 3. The connecting wires may be broken, 4, The cells may not be placed in the correct order. 5. The switch may be faulty. Chapter-04 Sorting Materials into Groups |.
