I. Read the following passage carefully.

The novel corona virus has given rise to a global pandemic that has destabilized most institutional
settings. While we live in times when humankind possesses the most advanced science and technology, a
virus invisible to the naked eye has massively disrupted our lives, economies, healthcare, and education
systems worldwide. (Para 1)
Given the corona virus’s current situation, some households have also had time to introspect on gender
roles and stereotypes. For instance, women are expected to carry out household chores like cooking,
cleaning, and looking after the family. With men sharing household chores responsibilities during the
lockdown period, it gives hope that they will realize the burden that women have been bearing and will
continue sharing such responsibilities. (Para 2)
This tough period also gave people some time to reflect on the importance of keeping themselves fit.
With sufficient time in hand, people started investing their time learning new ways to exercise. Those
who never exercised before, giving excuses of busy lives, too developed some new habits of Yoga,
Pranayam and exercises during the lockdown period. These new habits and people’s increased focus on
their health, wellness and immunity will surely change the way we lead our lives even in future. (Para 3)

The nature too healed itself during the lockdown period. Restricted human movement led to better air
quality, cleaner water bodies and joyful wildlife movements. The human beings, we hope, reflected
during this time, how some of their unconscious activities cause disruption in nature and worked out ways
to adopt environmental-friendly options for their activities in future. (Para 4)

This situation also affected the education sector to a great extent. It had forced us to shift from offline to
online mode of teaching-learning process, almost immediately without prior preparation. Is it giving us a
peek into the reality ahead? Technology enabled teaching is definitely the future we are looking towards,
but it is important to identify key challenges for students and teachers in the current scenario. Once
identified, academic leadership and the government can address these through innovations in the focused
areas to minimize the effect of pandemic on the education of the students. (Para 5)
The current scenario has also affected our economies to the extent wherein many businessmen had to bear
heavy losses in their businesses. The governments and individuals need to take actions to mitigate risk
and minimize transmission while maintaining social and economic activities. However, relaxed control
measures, declining risk perception and the understandable desire to return to normalcy have led to
reduced protective behaviour and more social and workplace interactions, often in confined, close-contact
settings, where the virus spreads really fast. (Para 6)
It is our responsibility that we take all necessary precautions through mask-wearing, physical distancing,
hand hygiene as part of daily life. It is highly important to make these new behaviour part of our everyday
habits. Travelling to new places, casual café visits with a large bunch of friends, spending our weekends
in shopping, window-shopping and casual strolls, large gatherings in birthday parties and other
celebrations; required some modifications and patience to fit into “New Normal” keeping all the safety
norms in mind. (Para 7)
It was amazing to experience regular communication from authorities, improved understanding of
individual responsibility, and subsequently, a greater willingness to adopt infection prevention practices
that was a stepping stone to a “new future”. (Para 8)

Based on your understanding of the passage, answer the following questions.

1. The outbreak of COVID-19 was called a pandemic because __________________________.
i. it had spread across the globe ii. it had spread across India
iii. it was invisible to naked eye iv. it had disrupted many institutional settings

iv. people understood the importance of health and wellness in the face of the pandemic

4. A positive change was seen in nature during lockdown period in terms of cleaner air and water bodies
because ________________________.
i. there was less human movement due to lockdown
ii. the virus helped in cleaning air and water
iii. the government made extra efforts to clean air and water

4. CASE STUDY
Corrosion is the phenomenon of deterioration of the surface of the metal in the presence of air and
moisture. It is a natural process and in the presence of a moist atmosphere, chemically active
metals get corroded. This is an oxidation reaction. Rusting is the process where iron corrodes due
to exposure to the atmosphere. The main circumstance of corrosion occurs with iron because it is a
structural material in construction, bridges, buildings, rail transport, ships, etc. Aluminium is also
an important structural metal, but even aluminium undergoes oxidation reactions. However,
aluminium does not corrode or oxidize as rapidly as its reactivity suggests. Copper (Cu) corrodes
and forms a basic green carbonate.
a. What is rusting?
b. Which two metals do not corrode easily?
c. Write the chemical name of the compound formed on the corrosion of silver.
d. Corrosion is a/an ________________reaction.
i. Redox ii. Reduction iii. Displacement iv. Oxidation

 BIOLOGY
TASK 1: DECOMPOSITION OF ORGANIC AND INORGANIC MATERIALS:
It’s important to teach students the importance of 3R’s reduce, reuse, recycle. A hands-on activity that
shows how different kinds of materials decompose will help bring the concept to life.
Students will choose a few different kinds of organic and inorganic materials to observe. (4 substances
each). The students predict how long it will take for each item to decompose and keep a record of their
observations.
The goal: To show that only the organic material decomposes quickly – inorganic materials will sit
around in landfills for a long time. Fortunately, many of these materials are easy to recycle.
On an A4 sheet, the students will paste pictures of the activity performed and write their conclusion.

component in an ecosystem?
a. Rainwater running down into the lake. c. A mouse fighting with another mouse
b. An earthworm making a burrow in the for food.

7. Assertion: The concentration of harmful chemicals is least in human beings.
Reason: Man is at the apex of the food chain.
8. Assertion: Aquarium needs regular cleaning
Reason: There are no microbes to clean water in aquarium, therefore, it needs to be

B. Answer the following:

1. What are the problems caused by the non-biodegradable wastes that we generate?
2. What will be the fate of this terrestrial food chain if all the rats were removed?
3. Will the food chains be affected if the animals if the animals at the top carnivore level
were removed?
4. Distinguish between a food web and a food chain.

different levels of the ecosystem?
7. The number of malaria patients increased tremendously when a large number of frogs
were exported from the village. What could be the cause for it? Explain with the help of
a food chain.

C. CASE STUDY:
We are an integral part of the environment. Changes in the environment affect us and our
activities change the environment around us. Ozone (O3 ) is a molecule formed by three
atoms of oxygen. While O2, which we normally refer to as oxygen, is essential for all aerobic
forms of life. Ozone is a deadly poison. However, at the higher levels of the atmosphere,
ozone performs an essential function. It shields the surface of the earth from ultraviolet (UV)
radiation from the Sun.
i) How does ozone is formed?
ii) In which layer of atmosphere does ozone is present?
iii) What are the causes for ozone depletion?
iv) Write the chemical reaction for the formation of ozone?
v) What are the effects of UV radiations?
