Question 22. What are magnetic materials? [1 MARK]
 Discuss Question

:
Materials that are attracted to magnets are called magnetic materials. Example - Iron.
Question 23. How do we classify materials based on their hardness? Explain. [2 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Classification: 1 Mark each
Materials can be classified into two based on their hardness - hard materials and soft materials.

Materials that can be compressed or scratched easily are called soft materials.
Example: Cotton, Sponge.
Materials that are difficult to compress are called hard.
Example: Iron and most of the other metals.
Question 24. How does a ship made of metal float on water even though metals are sinking materials? [2 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Points: 1 Mark each
1. If a material has density less than water, it will float on water. Iron is a metal and metals have very high density because of which they cannot float on water.
2. Ships made of iron float on water because even though metals sink, the ships are constructed in such a way that the total density of the ship is less than that of water. The principle behind their floating is Archimedes' Principle.

This is how ships made of metal manage to stay afloat.
Question 25. What are the three states of matter? Give examples for each state. [3 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
States and examples: 1 Mark each
The three states of matter are gaseous, liquid and solid.
Example of gaseous state: Oxygen.
Example of liquid state: Water.
Example of solid state: Iron.

Question 27. What is the importance of grouping? [1 MARK]
 Discuss Question

:
Grouping materials is done to make it convenient for us to study all the materials.Objects are grouped on the basis of their shapes, the materials they are made up of, and the properties of these materials. Materials can be grouped on the basis of similarities or differences in their properties.
Question 28. When we mix oil in a glass of water, two things happen:
1) The oil does not mix with water.
2It settles on top of water making a separate layer.
What is the reason for these two phenomena? Mention the property being exhibited by the oil. [3 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Explanation: 1 Mark each
Property name: 1 Mark
1. The oil does not mix with water which means that it is insoluble in water. Things which are soluble in water mix with it and disappear.
2. It settles on the top of thewater which shows that it can float on water. Generally, materials float on water if their density is less than that of water so certainly the density of the oil was less than that of water.
3. The oil here is exhibiting insolubility.
Question 29. Mention 5 ways into which we can classify materials found on the Earth. [5 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Classifications: 1 Mark each
Objects are grouped on the basis of properties like:
Any 5:
Lustre - lustrous, non-lustrous
Hardness - hard, soft
Transparency - transparent, translucent, opaque
Solubility - soluble, insoluble
Floatation - floating materials, sinking materials
Attraction towards magnets - magnetic, non-magnetic
Conduction of heat - good conductors, bad conductors
Conduction of electricity - good conductors, bad conductors
Question 30. A block of wood was placed in the path of light. It completely blocked the light to form a shadow. This is because wood block is ____.
  1.    transparent 
  2.    translucent
  3.    opaque
  4.    conductor
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> opaque
:
C
The materials through which light cannot passare called opaque. When light falls on an opaque object, some partof the light gets absorbed and the other part gets reflected back.
