Q. What is Chaff or husk?
Ans: the debris arising from agriculture processing of food grain like maize, rice wheat is called chaff.
Q. Differentiate between hand picking & winnowing.
Ans. Hand picking: the process of cleaning mixture by picking out with hand.
It is used when the constituents of the mixture are big in size & visibly differently .For example: separating stones from rice.
Winnowing: The process of cleaning mixture like husk from grain with the help of wind which blow lighter husk.
It is used when one of the constituents is lighter and the other is heavier, For example: shaff from grain.
Q. Define sieving
Ans: The process of separating fine lighter particles from larger particles using sieve. Eg husk, gravel, dust ,tea leaves etc .
Size of the holes of sieve or mash depends on the size of particles separated.
if the solid mixture is stirred or shaken on a mesh. Particles smaller than the holes of the mesh fall & the bigger ones remain on the mesh.

1. Q. What is habitat?
Ans: A place where living things live naturally is known as habitat (Home). For example:
(i)Aquatic habitat refers to the water where plants and animalssurvive like pond, river, sea (in water),
(ii) Terrestrial habitat: It refers to the land where all plants and animals survive. It includes deserts, forests and grasslands, as well as coastal and mountain regions
2. Q. What are the Components (Parts) of Habitat?
Ans: There are two main components of habitat
(a) Biotic Components: Living things present in a habitat are called biotic component like plants , animals and micro organism.
(b) Abiotic Components: All the non-living things present in a habitat is called abiotic components like air water soil rocks, sunlight and heat etc.
3.Q. How biotic and abiotic components depend on each other?

20. Q. What is acclimisation?
Ans: Small changes that take place in body of single organism over short period to overcome the small problems due to change in surrounding is called acclimisation.
21. Q. Give reasons: Why are deep sea worms blind?
Ans: As we move deep into seas and oceans the amount of light or the visibility decreases. Deep sea worms are blind because of the lack of requirement. Some worms have large eyes but those are not for the purpose of seeing . These worms have developed strong sense of smell to encounter these problems.
22. Q. Give reasons: Why are some marine creatures living in the deep sea give out light of thereof own?
Ans: Since there is lack of light in deep seas, some organisms can give out light to assist them in finding their way in the dark.This also helps them in finding prey to feed on and can also be used to find a mating partner.
23. Q. Give reasons: Why the upper surface of the leaves of lotus have a thick cuticle ?
Ans: Lotus is an aquatic plant. The leaves of the lotus plant have a thick waxy cuticle that helps in repelling water and keeps the stomata open so that water transport occurs effectively in plant.
24. Q. why do cockroaches hide as soon as the light is switched on?
Ans: Cockroaches cannot tolerate the high intensity light as they have some light receptors in their eyes.
25. Q. Give two examples of non-living things which show any two characteristics of living things.
Ans: Non-living things such as clouds grow in size and also move from one place to another. Another non-living thing that shows two of the characteristics of living things is a car which needs fuel (food) to function and also moves from one place

Ans: An electric circuit is the closed path along which electric current flows from the positive terminal to the negative terminal of the battery.
A circuit generally has:
a) A source of electric current - a cell or battery(A group of cell called battery)
b) Connecting wires for carrying current.
c) A device which uses the electricity - a bulb ( Bulb is a device that convert electrical energy into light)
d) A key or a switch – A component of circuits that stop or allow the flow of current. When the current flows the circuit is said to be closed circuit. When the current does not flow, the circuit is said to be open circuit.
8. How does a bulb glow and produce light?
Ans: Inside the bulb there is a thin coil of wire made of tungsten, called filament. It gets heated and glows when the current flows. Hence, electric energy is converted into light energy by a bulb.
9. If the filament inside the bulb is broken will the bulb glow? Why?
Ans: The circuit is not complete; current does not flow through the circuit and the bulb does not glow.
10. Why do we feel warm when we touch the lighted bulb?
Ans: The bulb also emits heat energy along with light.
11. What conductors and insulators?
Ans: The materials which allow electric current to pass through them are called conductors. Examples: All metals like Copper,Iron, Silver and Human body.
INSULATORS: The materials which do not allow electric current to pass through them are called bad conductors or insulators. Examples: Plastic, Wood, Rubber and Glass.
12. Why do electricians wear rubber gloves and shoes while at work?
Ans: It because rubber gloves are an insulator and prevent current to flow in body .Thus saves electricians from electric shock.
13. What do you mean by heating effect of current?
Ans: Electric current is actually the flow of electrons in the conducting material. Now,
when these electrons flow, they encounter some resistance in the structure of the conductor, which accounts for the "resistance" of materials. As the electrons collide or vibrate, heat energy is generated depending on the resistance of the conductor. This overall effect is called heating effect of electrical current.
14. Name a few appliances that work on the heating effect of current?
Ans: Electric kettle: Used for boiling water to make tea or coffee
Electric bulb : The filament of the bulb is heated when current flows and becomes white hot to emit brilliant light.
Electric iron: Used for ironing or pressing clothes.
Electric toaster: Used to toast bread
15. Name a special material used for heating component?
Ans: It is a coil of wire made of a special material called nichrome which becomes very hot when current is passed. This heat is used to cook food (as in an electric stove), heat water ( as in an electric kettle, electric heater) etc
16. Name the elements used to make an alloy nichrome?
Ans: Nickel and Chromium.
17 Why are electric wire are made up of copper through silver is best conductor?
Ans: Silver is an expensive metal. Material needed for conductor should be cheap as wires are used extensively in almost every appliance. That is why silver can't be used to make wires.
18. Why do you apply a tap over the joint of electric wire?
Ans: Tap is an insulator and save us from electric shock.
19. If you connect a battery cell to the bulb through a wooden stick, the will not glow. Why?
Ans: No, wooden stick is an insulator that cannot conduct electricity
20. Do not handle the electric appliances when your hands are wet. Why?
Ans: Tap water is good conductor and we may get electric shock.
21. There will be three colored wires normally used while connecting any electric equipment. What are those colors? Tell which coloured wire gives us electric shock?
Ans: Red (Live wire that give us electric shock), Black (Neutral) , and Green(Earth wire)

• Segregation of wastes
• Management of biodegradable wastes
• Composting, Landfills - Structure of a landfill
• Management of Non-Biodegradable Wastes
• Reduce, Reuse, Recycle - Recycling of Plastics,
Recycling of paper
Garbage Disposal
A large, low-lying area used to dispose garbage is known as a dump.
A garbage dump is also used as landfill. Garbage collectors collect waste and then dispose it at
garbage disposals.
Garbage dumps have flies, cockroaches and mosquitoes, and later turn into breeding grounds for micro-organisms that may cause diseases. That is why these garbage dumps are usually located on the outskirts of a city.
Components of garbage: Garbage has useful and non-useful components.
ü Useful garbage components are those that can be decayed easily. The process ofdecaying is known as
composting. Useful garbage components are fruit and vegetable waste, plant and animal waste, tea leaves, coffee grounds and paper. These useful components of garbage are converted into manure in the soil.
ü Non-useful garbage components include polythene bags, plastics, glass and aluminum foils. These take longer to decay. Decaying of these non-useful components is known as decomposition. When non-useful components decay, they release harmful gases that damage the environment. To avoid the adverse impact, these garbage items are sent for recycling. For example, when leaves burn, they release harmful gases and causes air pollution. Moreover, they lead to asthma and lung diseases. That is why leaves should be buried so as to convert them into manure.
ü Vermicomposting
The process of preparing compost with the help of red worms is called vermicomposting. The red worm is a type of earthworm that lives in the soil rich in organic matter, which is a combination of nitrogen-rich and carbon-rich material with plenty of moisture and microbes.
Method of Vermicompositing
A vermicomposting pit is made with a wooden box or big cement rings. A mesh is spread at the bottom of the pit. Vegetable waste, fruit waste, waste paper which is not shiny or coated with plastic, is spread over the mesh. Water is sprinkled to create moisture so that the red worms can live. A vermicomposting pit takes nearly two to four weeks to completely convert waste into manure.
Waste material that is rich in oils, salt, meat and vinegar stops the growth of red worms. These red worms have a special structure called gizzards with which they grind food material. A red worm eats food equal to its weight every day. Red worms do not survive in too hot or too cold conditions.
Recycling Paper and Plastics
It is important to reuse things than discarding them as waste. Industries use recycled or waste paper to regenerate paper. Paper that is suitable for recycling is called "scrap paper". You can recycle old newspapers, magazines, notebooks and used envelopes, but not waxed paper, oil-soaked paper, paper contaminated with food, carbon paper, thermal fax paper, plastic laminated paper, stickers, and sanitary products or tissues.
Steps involved in recycling paper
ü Tear paper into small pieces.
ü Soak these pieces in water for a day.
ü Make a thick paste and spread it on a net or sieve.
ü Let water drain off completely
ü Use an old cloth or newspaper to remove the extra water from the paste and dry it.
ü Use this paste to get beautiful patterns.
Disadvantages of using of polythene bags
We use many plastic items such as tooth brush, combs, containers, bottles, shoes, toys, wires, frames and bags every day but using plastic is very harmful in terms of health and as well as the environment. Plastics are not suitable for storing cooked food because they emit harmful chemicals when they are exposed to high temperatures. Using plastics causes health problems such as heart disease, diabetes and reproductive dysfunction.
Harmful gases are emitted from burning plastics, which cause cancer and they kill living beings. That is why plastics should be disposed in the right way.
Plastics thrown casually get into drains and sewages, often blocking the way and causing water-logging. So polythene bags should not be used for garbage disposal.
Measures taken to prevent from the dangerous effects of plastics:ü Reduce, reuse and recycle plastics.
ü Carry jute or cloth bags for shopping
ü Do not store food items in plastic bags.
ü Do not burn plastic items.
ü Recycle plastics so that new plastic items can be made.
ü Waste that does not decompose should be put in blue dustbins, while waste that decomposes easily should be put in green dustbins.
ü Carry jute or cloth bags for shopping
ü Do not store food items in plastic bags.
ü Do not burn plastic items.
ü Recycle plastics so that new plastic items can be made.
ü Waste that does not decompose should be put in blue dustbins, while waste that decomposes easily should be put in green dustbins.
