1. (4) A teacher begins the class by demonstrating the
chemical test of starch in a given sample of food. The
cognitive process associated with the language.
There are several types of cognitive process. They
involve attention, memory, perception, learning and
language.
2. (1) Active learning is a process that has student
learning at its centre. Active learning focuses on how
students learn, not just on what they learn. Students are
encouraged to ‘think hard’, rather than passively receive
information from the teacher.
There are misconceptions about active learning
l Active learning is established science club,
organisation of field trip and developing a science
corner.
l Active learning is all about doing a particular activity.
l Active learning is the same as enquiry based learning.
l Active learning means taking away the teacher’s
influence.
Hence, listening to a lecture in class will not provide for
active learning among children.
3. (4) Concept mapping is a general method that can be
used to help any individual or group to describe their
ideas about some topic in a pictorial form.
An anecdotal record is an observation method used
frequently in classroom of learning setting in which the
observers summarises a single developmental incident
after the event has occurred.
A student portfolio is a compilation of academic work.
Hence, Statement A, B and C is used for finding the
learning gaps of learners in science.
4. (1) Anecdotal record are used to record specific
observations of individual students behaviours, skills and
attitudes as they relate to the outcomes in the
programme of studies.
Such record provide cumulative information on student
learning and direction for further instructions.
5. (*) Pashmina shawl is made from the soft undercoat
hair of the Kashmiri goats (Capra hircus). Pashmina is a
fine type of Kashmiri wool. The textile made from it
were first woven in Kashmir.
Angora hair or angora fibres refers to the downy coat
produced by the angora rabbit.
Though primarily used for milk and transportation,
camels produce high quality wool that is very warm,
water resistant and highly durable. It can be used to make
textiles carpets and ropes.
6. (2) The animal with characteristic live long backbone,
many muscles and body which curves into many loops
for moving forward is snake.
Snakes have between 10,000 and 15,000 muscles. They
have a long backbone and their body forms many loops
and each loop of the snake gives it a forward push by
pressing against the ground.
7. (2) Statement in option (2) is not true.
Its corrected form is as follows
Except the pulmonary arteries, all the arteries carry
oxygenated (oxygen - rich) blood. Rest statements are
true.
8. (4) The correct matching is given below
A. Acetic acid IV. Vinegar
B. Lactic acid I. Curd
C. Oxalic acid II. Spinach
D. Ascorbic acid III. Citrus fruits
9. (4) The chemical X present in our stomach is
hydrochloric acid (HCl). If this acid is secreted in excess,
it causes health problems like indigestion.
Milk of magnesia ( ) Y is used to treat this condition.
Because, being a base, it neutralises the excess HCl
produced in the stomach.
10. (3) In baking of bread, bacteria is not used. It is
baker’s yeast which is used in making bread and other
bakery items, which causes the bread to rise and become
lighter and softer.
Bacteria is used in nitrogen fixation, formation of curd
and fermentation of sugarcane juice.

1. (4) A teacher begins the class by demonstrating the
chemical test of starch in a given sample of food. The
cognitive process associated with the language.
There are several types of cognitive process. They
involve attention, memory, perception, learning and
language.
2. (1) Active learning is a process that has student
learning at its centre. Active learning focuses on how
students learn, not just on what they learn. Students are
encouraged to ‘think hard’, rather than passively receive
information from the teacher.
There are misconceptions about active learning
l Active learning is established science club,
organisation of field trip and developing a science
corner.
l Active learning is all about doing a particular activity.
l Active learning is the same as enquiry based learning.
l Active learning means taking away the teacher’s
influence.
Hence, listening to a lecture in class will not provide for
active learning among children.
3. (4) Concept mapping is a general method that can be
used to help any individual or group to describe their
ideas about some topic in a pictorial form.
An anecdotal record is an observation method used
frequently in classroom of learning setting in which the
observers summarises a single developmental incident
after the event has occurred.
A student portfolio is a compilation of academic work.
Hence, Statement A, B and C is used for finding the
learning gaps of learners in science.
4. (1) Anecdotal record are used to record specific
observations of individual students behaviours, skills and
attitudes as they relate to the outcomes in the
programme of studies.
Such record provide cumulative information on student
learning and direction for further instructions.
5. (*) Pashmina shawl is made from the soft undercoat
hair of the Kashmiri goats (Capra hircus). Pashmina is a
fine type of Kashmiri wool. The textile made from it
were first woven in Kashmir.
Angora hair or angora fibres refers to the downy coat
produced by the angora rabbit.
Though primarily used for milk and transportation,
camels produce high quality wool that is very warm,
water resistant and highly durable. It can be used to make
textiles carpets and ropes.
6. (2) The animal with characteristic live long backbone,
many muscles and body which curves into many loops
for moving forward is snake.
Snakes have between 10,000 and 15,000 muscles. They
have a long backbone and their body forms many loops
and each loop of the snake gives it a forward push by
pressing against the ground.
7. (2) Statement in option (2) is not true.
Its corrected form is as follows
Except the pulmonary arteries, all the arteries carry
oxygenated (oxygen - rich) blood. Rest statements are
true.
8. (4) The correct matching is given below
A. Acetic acid IV. Vinegar
B. Lactic acid I. Curd
C. Oxalic acid II. Spinach
D. Ascorbic acid III. Citrus fruits
9. (4) The chemical X present in our stomach is
hydrochloric acid (HCl). If this acid is secreted in excess,
it causes health problems like indigestion.
Milk of magnesia ( ) Y is used to treat this condition.
Because, being a base, it neutralises the excess HCl
produced in the stomach.
10. (3) In baking of bread, bacteria is not used. It is
baker’s yeast which is used in making bread and other
bakery items, which causes the bread to rise and become
lighter and softer.
Bacteria is used in nitrogen fixation, formation of curd
and fermentation of sugarcane juice.

11. (1) Conservation is different from deforestation,
desertification and erosion.
Deforestation is the permanent removal of trees in the
forest for agricultural land, grazing or using the timber
for fuel, construction or manufacturing.
Desertification is the process by which fertile land
becomes desert and erosion is the action of water flow or
wind that removes soil, rock, etc., from one location on
the earth’s crust to another.
12. (1) Chemical changes occur when a substance
combines with another to form a new substance.
Crystallisation is not a chemical change as no new
substance is formed in this process. It is the process of
deriving large crystals of pure substances from their
solution.
Therefore, it is a physical process.
Thus, statement (1) is not correct, while rest are correct.
13. (3) The correct representation of soil particles in an
ascending order as per size of the particles is as follows:
Clay (less than 0.002 mm) < Silt (0.002
- 0.02 mm), < Sand (0 02 0 2 . . - mm) < Gravel
( 1 2 - mm) < Rock (More than 2 mm)
14. (4) The function of gills in the fish is to absorb
dissolved oxygen ( ) O
2
from water. The oxygen from
water is absorbed and carbon dioxide ( ) CO
2
is expelled
from gills in the water.
15. (1) A blade can be used to complete the electric
circuit, because it is a metal conductor and current flows
only through conductor.
All other materials are insulators and hence do not allow
the flow of current in them.
16. (4) Given, distance of observer (Manjula) from
mirror = 5m
As, the image formed by a mirror are of same size and at
same distance behind the mirror.
So, the image distance = 5 m.
?Distance between object and image,
= + = 5 5 10 m
Now, the observer (Manjula) moves toward the mirror
by 1 m.
So, the object distance = - = 5 1 4 m.
From symmetry, the image should have also moved by 1
m toward the mirror.
So, the image distance = 4 m.
Now, distance between object and image,
= + = 4 4 8 m.

18. (2) Here, only statement given in option (2) is
incorrect, whose corrected form is that the ball bearings
are used to decrease the friction between parts of
machines.
These are the small steel balls which rolls between two
parts of a machine.
So, no kinetic friction is involved and rolling friction
being very small, use much less energy loss.
19. (3) The reactivity series of metals is given as follows:
Potassium > sodium > calcium > magnesium >
aluminium > zinc > iron > tin > lead > copper > silver >
gold > platinum
It is clear from the above series that, zinc is most reactive
among the given metals followed by iron and copper.
Thus, only correct statement is (B).
Rest of the statements can be corrected as :
A. Iron cannot replace zinc from zinc sulphate
solution.
C. Copper cannot replace iron from iron sulphate
solution.
20. (1) Clinical thermometer uses mercury to measure
the temperature of human body which varies over a short
range of 35°C to 42°C. A clinical thermometer cannot be
used to measure the temperature of boiling liquid because
at high temperature, the mercury will expand too much
and break the glass of the thermometer.
Laboratory thermometer is used for measuring
temperature at high range from - ° 10 C to 110°C.
Thus, the range of a laboratory thermometer is greater
than that of a clinical thermometer.
Room thermometers have a ranges from - ° 10 C to 50°C.
Hence, only statement given in option (1) is correct.
21. (4) Calorific values of different fuels are given as
follows:
Fuel Calorific value (kJ/kg)
Wood 17,000 - 22,000
Coal 25,000 - 33,000
Kerosene 45,000
Diesel 45,000
CNG 50,000
LPG 50,000
Biogas 35,000 - 40,000
