Instead, she got two strips of aluminium foil. Can Rita make a closed
circuit? Give reason for your answer.
Yes, aluminium foil being a conductor of electricity can be used instead of
connecting wires.
2.Write one advantage and one disadvantage of greenhouse gases.

Advantage - Greenhouse gases trap heat and keep the earth warm.
Disadvantage - Increase in greenhouse gases will trap more heat and lead
to global warming.
3. Observe the picture given below.
Write the functions of X and

Z.
X – hold the bones together
at the joints.
Z- lubricates the joint/
prevent wear and tear of bones

b) How do microorganisms help the plants to get the nutrients?
Nitrogen fixation / Atmospheric nitrogen is converted into useful
form of nitrogenous compounds (nitrates/nitrites)
7. Why are the crocodiles always seen near the surface of the water and
not in deep waters?
Crocodiles have lungs to take in atmospheric oxygen / do not have
gills to breathe in dissolved oxygen.
8. What is the role of transformers in the transmission of electricity from

the power station to our houses?
Increase or decrease the voltage / step up or step down of voltage
V Answer the following; (2x8=16)
1. Give reasons.
a) Lemonade is a mixtur but distilled water is a pure substance.
Mixture is made up of one or two components mixed/Composition
varies/Can be separated by physical means.
Pure substances are made up of one component throughout/Uniform
composition/Cannot be separated by physical means.
b) The last two pairs of ribs are known as floating ribs.
Floating ribs are not attached to the sternum in the front.
2.Observe the cycle given below.
Plants
Oxygen Carbon dioxide

process ‘M’
a) Identify the processes ‘M’ and ‘N'.

M – Combustion, N - Respiration
b) Define the process ‘Q’.
Photosynthesis – The process by which plants prepare food with the
help of carbon dioxide, water and sunlight.
3.Write one difference for each- (2 )

a) Cockroach and leech based on their skeleton.
Cockroach has exoskeleton and leech has liquid skeleton.
b) Ball and socket joint and pivot joint based on their location.
Ball and socket joint – Hip/Shoulder
Pivot joint - Neck
4.a) How do the muscles help the bird in upstroke of wings during flying.
During upstroke, the short flight muscles contract and long flight
muscles relax.
b)Draw the diagram to support your answer.
5.Write one similarity and one difference between the features of earthworm
and snail which help them in locomotion.
Similarity – Muscles contract and relax to produce movement/Has liquid
skeleton/Mucus reduce friction.
Difference – Earthworm has setae to grip and move while snail has
muscular foot to move.

from the list given below in your circuit. Label all the components of
the circuit.
Wax, plastic spoon, gold chain, leather belt, silver ring, chalk piece
7. Write one difference between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixture

along with one example for each.
Homogeneous – Components are uniformly distributed. Ex: Salt solution,
air, clean water, etc.
Heterogeneous – Components are randomly distributed. Ex: foggy air,
muddy water, salad, etc.
8. Observe the picture given below and answer the questions.
a) Name the apparatus shown in

the given picture.X
Separating funnel
b) Write the criteria to separate the
mixture in the given apparatus.
Immiscible liquids
c) Give an example for ‘X’.

by wind.
c) Write the need for separating ‘Q’. (1/2)

To remove unwanted substances/harmful substances.
9. X is a component of air. It is given out by animals as a waste product.
a) Write an activity to prove that animals give out the gas X. (2)
Observation – Lime water

turns milky.
Inference – Exhaled air
contains carbon dioxide.
b) What is the percentage of the gas X in the atmosphere? (1/2)

Carbon dioxide – 0.03%
c) If X is increasing in the atmosphere, write one measure taken by you to
control it. (1/2)
Plant trees/Carpooling/Reduce burning of things, etc.
