1. It is necessary to separate the different components of a mixture because it might
H
contain harmful or non-useful components like stones, etc.

IT
2. Handpicking, sieving and filtration are three processes of separation that we commonly
FA
notice in our homes.

3. The process used to separate grains from stalks by beating them is known as threshing.
In this process, dried stalks with grains on them are beaten on the rock or any hard
LY
platform, and the grains are separated.

O
4. Winnowing can be used for mixtures containing lighter and heavier components by
utilising wind or blowing air. One can separate husk from grains using this method by
H
allowing the mixture to slide from a little height. The husk will get carried away by the
wind, forming a heap near the platform.
5. The process of settling heavier components of the mixture after adding water is known
as sedimentation. Decantation, on the other hand, is the process of removing the water
leaving behind the dirt.
6. The process of removing solid particles from a liquid mixture is known as filtration.
Take muddy water in a beaker and a filter paper; fold the paper in the form of cone

and pour the mixture through the filter paper. The solid particles will get stuck on the
paper and the water will be separated due to small holes in the filter paper.
7. The process of conversion of water into its vapour is known as evaporation.
8. The process of conversion of water vapour into its liquid form is called condensation.
9. The solution which cannot dissolve more of a substance in it is known as saturated
solution.
10. By heating the solution, the solubility of a substance in a liquid increases.
11. The oil from the solution can be separated with the help of the decantation process.
The iron nails can be separated through the process of handpicking. Finally, the salt
can be separated by heating the water and using evaporation.

1. Take a small amount of water in a beaker and add some drops of red/blue ink to it. Cut
the base of the stem and place it in the beaker. After some time, the colour will rise up
in the stem and in the veins of the leaves. This shows that stems help in conducting
water from roots to leaves.
2. 1. Support the leaves and conduct water from roots to leaves.
2. Stems keep the leave in light and give place to the plants to keep flowers and fruits.
3. The designs made by veins in a leaf are known as leaf venation. Reticulate venation
and parallel venation are two types of leaf venation. Leaves of maple tree are the
example of reticulate venation and the leaves of grass are the example of parallel

4. Tie a transparent polythene bag on one of the leaves on a plant which is kept in the
sunlight. Observe the leaf after a day and water droplets can be found on the inner side

box, a small hole is made in the middle. Now, in the smaller box, a small portion is cut

out from the middle of the square in the box with translucent paper. Slide the smaller
H
box into the larger one, in such a way that the side with tracing paper is inside.
2. The similarity between the formation of shadows and pinhole images is that both forms
the real shape of the object.
3. Pinhole camera present in nature can be seen under a tree covered with large number of
leaves. When the sunlight falls from the trees, small patches of the light can be seen on the
ground. The leaves act like a pinhole and these patches form a circular image of the sun.

the bulb glows as the chemical in the filament charges up.

safety pin can touch it. Hence, the safety pin attached will work as a switch.

2. A switch is used in a circuit so that we can ON/OFF the supply of the current in the

also prevents the wastage of the electric current when it is not in use.

(a) Plastic is a bad conductor or insulator of electricity. It prevents us from electric
shocks. To complete the circuit, we have to remove the plastic coating to connect
the wires so that the current may flow through the circuit.

(b) A switch is a simple device that either breaks the circuit or completes it. Hence, we
use electric switches in order to either stop an electrical gadget in function when
required, or start an electrical gadget when needed.
(c) A fused bulb means a break in its filament which results in a break in the path of
the current between the terminals of the electric cell. Thus, a fused bulb does not
light up as no current passes through its filament.
(d) An electric cell produces electricity from chemicals stored inside it. When the
chemicals inside the cell are used up, the cell stops producing electricity.

2. Take two similar candles and place them on a table. Light the candles and cover one
H
of the candles with the help of a tumbler. It can be observed that the candle covered

with the tumbler gets extinguished after some time, as oxygen inside the tumbler gets

used up. Thus, from this activity, we can say that oxygen is necessary for burning and
is present in air.
3. Because the burning material releases gases like carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide,
LY
these gases do not escape the room, thereby causing problems in breathing.
O
4. Tiny hairs, called cilia, covering the walls of the air tubes, move the mucus upward and
out into the throat, where it is either coughed up and spat out or swallowed. The air

2. Pour water on the soil and you can observe the tiny air bubbles in water which confirm
the presence of air in dry soil, i.e. water filled up the spaces which were earlier filled with
air.
3. They have moist skin and they breathe oxygen through their skin. They prefer damp
soil, but during heavy rains, the oxygen in waterlogged soil may run out. They come
