21. Ans. Length of the pencil = reading of second end - reading of first end
= 9.2 cm - 2.5 cm
= 6.7 cm
But 1 cm = 10 mm
? 6.7 cm = 67 mm
So, the length of the pencil = 67 mm.
22. Ans. When an opaque object is placed in front of a source of light, the light rays
cannot pass through it. However, they can bend around the object. So, a dark region
in the shape of the object is formed behind the object (the light source being on the
other side). This dark region is the shadow of the object.
SECTION C
23. Ans.
(i) Honey is produced by honey bees.
(ii) Bees collect nectar from the flowers of plants and convert it into honey.
(iii) The bees store honey in beehives.
(iv) The hives containing honey are called honeycombs.
24. Ans.
(i) A flower develops from a bud. Before this development, the young developing
petals are protected by the small leaf-like green structures called sepals. The bud
later blooms into a full-grown flower.
(ii) Water is transported from roots to leaves through the stem.
25. Ans.
(i) The skull encloses and protects the brain from any injuries or sudden shocks.
(ii) The discs of cartilage present between the vertebrae of the backbone allow the
vertebrae to move slightly and enable the backbone to bend forward and
backward.
26. Ans.
Spinning is the process of making yarn from fibres.
Fibres from a mass of cotton wool are drawn and twisted. This helps to bring the
fibres together to form yarn.
Devices used for spinning are spindle (takli) and spinning machine.

(i) Oxygen gas dissolves in water. The plants and animals which live in water use the
oxygen dissolved in water for respiration. Thus, oxygen gas dissolved in water is
important for the survival of these animals and plants.
(ii) Carbon dioxide gas also dissolves in water. The plants which live in water use
the carbon dioxide dissolved in water for photosynthesis.
(iii) Nitrogen and methane gas do not dissolve in water.
28. . Ans. Soluble in water: Potassium permanganate, Sugar, Alum, Copper sulphate

29. Ans.
(i) The car and the people sitting inside it are moving in a circle, and hence, their
motion is circular motion. The wheels are in two types of circular motion—one
about their centre, and the other about the centre of the roundabout.
(ii) Measurement is the determination of the dimensions, quantity or capacity of an
item.
30. Ans.
(i) The length of the scale is 15 cm.
The length of the bat is 11 times the length of the scale.
Hence, the length of the bat is 11 × 15 cm = 165 cm.
(ii) When there is no wind, the raindrop falls down along a straight line, so its motion
is rectilinear.
However, when there is wind blowing, the raindrop is carried away while falling
downward, so it will have a combination of many motions such as rectilinear,
circular, zigzag, rotational etc.
31. Ans.
(i) A pinhole camera is a simple camera with no lens and with a single small aperture.

32. Ans. The body of the earthworm is made of many rings which are joined end to end.
These rings help the earthworm to move forward. The muscles in the body help the
earthworm to extend and shorten its body.
At first, the front portion of the body extends and the rear portion of the body
remains fixed to the ground.
Then the earthworm fixes the front end and releases its rear end. This helps it to
shorten its body and to move forward.
By repeating the same movement by contracting and relaxing the muscles, the
earthworm moves ahead.

The characteristics of the image formed by a plane mirror are
(i) The image formed in a plane mirror is virtual (or unreal). It cannot be obtained
on a screen.
(ii) The image formed in a plane mirror is at the same distance behind the mirror as
the object is in front of it.
(iii) The image in a plane mirror is of the same size as the object. It is neither
enlarged nor diminished.
(iv) The image in a plane mirror is erect. It is the same side up as the object.
(v) The image in a plane mirror is laterally inverted (sideways reversed) with
respect to the object.
