Children begin to learn about themselves and the world around them through observation and experimentation. It is important to keep alive this natural spark in them during the school years and even after. Designed in accordance with the latest guidelines laid down by the as per latest syllabus of Educational Boards of India. Our new series ‘Science Insight’ is recommended for students in classes 1 to 8. This series caters to the young minds who have a passion for exploring their surroundings and discovering the ‘why’ and ‘how’ about everything, the materialand the profound! The books for classes 6 to 8 comply fully with the syllabi prescribed by the educational boards, and follow the thematic approach recommended for the middle and the secondary level. Each chapter in the books begins with a learning plan followed by a warm-up activity before new topics are discussed. Interspersed with in-text questions, interesting titbits of information related to the text, the chapters end with a quick summary of topics, definitions of key terms, and objective-as well as subjective-type questions. The section of Get Going has been given special attention in this new series. Thus, in addition to conventional questions, Get Going questions have been included in the middle of each chapter. These questions encourage children to use scientific information and ideas for solving everyday problems and to gain conceptual clarity about the effects andapplications of a scientific fact. Every effort has been made to keep the books error free. As there is always a scope for improvement, any comment and suggestion will be gratefully acknowledged. Itis earnestly hoped that this book will meet the expectations of all those for whom it has beenwritten.| J McQs True or False || Fillin the blanks || Match the following || Answer the are given so that || questions provide an || consists of acolumn of|| following the students can || focus each ||excellent means for|| stimuli presented on |] questions quickly respond || item ona || measuring specific || the left side of the |] _ include brief to many items, || Single idea so|| knowledge, they || exampage anda _|| and tong answer rrittong wide || that students || reduce guessing by|| column of responses || type questions vesting and. || 92.Rethave || the students, and ||placed on the right sidel| to check the sampling a todeal with || they force the || of the page.
