Total Questions : 100 | Page 1 of 10 pages
Question 1. Out of the below mentioned properties, which is the most important when making a hammer?
  1.    Heat resistance
  2.    Lustre
  3.    Hardness
  4.    Softness
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Hardness
:
C
The properties of materials are the key factorwhile making objects intended for a particular use. Hammers should be made of hard materials to beat the other materials with it. Ironis used for making hammers as metals are generally hard in nature.
Question 2. Which among the following is the hardest substance?
  1.    Wood
  2.    Cheese
  3.    Iron
  4.    Plastic
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Iron
:
C
Hardness is the property of a material to resist deformations when pressure is applied.
Out of the given options iron is the hardest substance.
Question 3. Pick the wrong statement.
  1.    A pane of glass is transparent.
  2.    A silver coin has no lustre.
  3.    Chalk does not dissolve in water.
  4.    Wood floats in water.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> A silver coin has no lustre.
:
B
Silver is a lustrous metal and hence, a silver coin has lusture.
Question 4. Match the following objects with the materials they are made up of.
ObjectsMaterials1. Cupsa) Wood2. Chairb) Glass3. Bookc) Leather4. Shoesd) Paper
  1.    1-c,  2-d,  3-a,  4-b
  2.    1-b,  2-a,  3-d,  4-c
  3.    1-a,  2-c,  3-b,  4-d
  4.    1-b,  2-a,  3-c,  4-d
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 1-b,  2-a,  3-d,  4-c
:
B
Different objects are made from different materials based on the properties. Chair is made of wood because of its strength. Book is composed of paper because of its ability to be written on. Shoes are also made of leather because of its durability. And we also have cups made of glass because of its texture and heat conductivity.
Question 5. Mention three properties of the liquid state. [3 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Properties: 1 Mark each
Properties of liquid substances:
1. Liquids do not have definite shapes; theytake the shape of the container but have a definite volume.
2. The particles of liquids are loosely packed than the particles in solids.
3. They can be compressed to a small extent.
Question 6. What will happen when we mix vegetable oil, corn syrup and water in a glass?
  1.    Corn syrup will be the uppermost layer, vegetable oil will be the middle layer and the water will be the bottom layer.
  2.    Water will be the uppermost layer, vegetable oil will be the middle layer and the corn syrup will be the bottom layer.
  3.    Vegetable oil will be the uppermost layer, water will be the middle layer and the corn syrup will be the bottom layer.
  4.    Corn syrup and the vegetable oil mix together and the water will be the bottom layer. 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Vegetable oil will be the uppermost layer, water will be the middle layer and the corn syrup will be the bottom layer.
:
C
The density of corn syrup, vegetable oil and water is in the order:
Corn syrup > Water > Vegetable Oil.
The less dense material will float on top of the more dense material.
Thus, vegetable oil will be the uppermost layer followed by water in the middle and corn syrup being at the bottom layer.
Question 7. What happens when water is added to kerosene?
  1.    Water floats above kerosene.
  2.    Kerosene floats above water.
  3.    They both mix well.
  4.    Kerosene reacts with water.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Kerosene floats above water.
:
B
Kerosene forms a layer above water when boththe liquids are mixed and left to settle for some time. This is because thedensity of kerosene is less than that of water and they do notmix.
Question 8. Pick the right order based on their hardness - wood, iron, paper.
  1.    iron > paper > wood
  2.    iron > wood > paper
  3.    paper > wood > iron
  4.    wood > paper > iron
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> iron > wood > paper
:
B
Materials which are difficult to compress are called hard materials.
Iron is the hardest material among allfollowed by woodand then paper.
Question 9. The objects which do not allow the light to pass through them are called:
  1.    Opaque
  2.    Transparent
  3.    Transitional
  4.    Translucent
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Opaque
:
A
Opaque objectsdo not allow the light to pass through them.
Example:- Wood, Gold, etc.
Tranparent objects allow the light to pass through them while translucent objects partially allow the light to pass through them.
Question 10. You are given some objects with various shapes and colours which are made of different materials. It is possible to arrange them in different orders based on different criteria.
  1.    True
  2.    False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Grouping can be done based on various parameters such as color, shape, source, etc.The objects given to you are of different shapes so they can be grouped by their shapes like cylindrical, round,irregular, etc.
Similarly, they can be grouped on the basis of colour or materials they are made from.
