Q2: If Krisha works 2400 minutes per week, find the total time (in hours) she will work in 4 weeks.
(a) 160 hours
(b) 150 hours
(c) 60 hours
(d) 16 hours

Science Olympiad Previous Year Paper - 1 | Science Olympiad Class 6  View Answer

Ans: (a)
In one week, she works 2400 minutes.

  • This highlights the importance of understanding the properties of different substances.

Q22: Which of the following describes a chemical change?
(a) Melting of ice
(b) Rusting of iron
(c) Boiling of water
(d) Cutting of wood

Science Olympiad Previous Year Paper - 1 | Science Olympiad Class 6  View Answer

Ans: (b)

  • Rusting of iron is a process where iron reacts with oxygen and moisture, forming rust, which is a new substance. This is a chemical change because it alters the chemical composition of the iron.
  • In contrast, the melting of ice, boiling of water, and cutting of wood are all physical changes, meaning they do not change the chemical structure of the substances involved.
