LESSON – 9


WATER AS A RESOURCE

 

1.    State of water is interchangeable. How?

Water exist in e states, ice, water, and water vapour. All the three states are interchangeable. Ice can be changed into water by melting. Water can be changed into water vapour by evaporation. Water vapour can be brought back to water by condensation. water can also be changed in to ice by freezing.

 

2.    What is water cycle? Explain it with labelled diagram.

The cycle that involves the change of water into water vapour and then into water again in nature is called the water cycle. It is the process by which water circulates between the sky and the earth in a continuous cycle.

3.    What do you mean by purification of water?

Impure water is not fit for drinking. It is essential to purify the water before consuming it. The process of removal of germs and impurities from water to make it fit for drinking is called water purification.

 

4.    Write in brief any two methods of purification of water.

The methods that we use generally to make water portable are:

Boiling:-  boiling is the simplest method of purification. Boiling also kills harmful germs present in water

 

Using water purifiers:- water purifier not only removes impurities but it also removes harmful germs from water. These purifiers use different type of micro filters to remove impurities.

 

5.    Write two soluble and two insoluble impurities present in water.

The impurities present in water are of two types:

a.    Soluble impurities -  salts and minerals

b.    Insoluble impurities – stone, sand

 

6.    Why is rainwater harvesting important?

Rainwater harvesting is important because water is a precious resource. We should save it and use it judiciously. Rainwater is an important source of water. There is a technique for saving rainwater. This is called rainwater harvesting. We can use it for many purposes.

  LESSON - 5 PLANTS- PARTS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS   1.     What are the two main parts of a plant? A plant is divided into two main parts- the shoot and the root. The part of the plant which is above the soil is called the shoot. The part of the plant which remains under the soil is called the root.   2.     What are the main functions of a root? a.      Roots fix plants firmly in the soil. b.     They help the plants to stand straight c.      They hold the soil and prevent it from being washed away by water or wind. d.     They take in water and minerals from the soil and pass them, to the stem. e.     Some roots store food.   3.     What are the main functions of leaves? Why are they called the kitchen of the plant? Leaves prepare and store food for the plant, gives out the oxygen during the process of photosynth...

Chapter 1 The Earth in the Solar System I.              Answer the following questions briefly. 1.      How does a planet differ from a star?   Differences between a planet and a star: PLANET STAR A planet does not have its own light and heat. It derives its light from a star A star possesses its own heat and light. A planet is usually smaller than stars. Stars are very huge objects compared to a planet in general. 2.     What is meant by the ‘Solar System’? The term Solar System refers to the “family” of the Sun. The Sun is a star around which eight planets, among other celestial objects, revolve in orbits. This whole system of bodies is called the Solar System. The Sun is the “head” of this system.   3.     Name all the planets according to their distance from the sun. The list...
