Submission Guidelines:
Do your Math’s Summer Holiday Homework in
portfolio file other than Q.1
Use graph paper for plotting graphs.
Be creative in the activity section!
SCIENCE Physics
Q.1 Derive the equation of motion – by graphical method.
Also draw Distance-time Graph, Velocity-Time Graph-
(a) When an object is at rest.
(b) The object is moving with uniform speed.
(c) Object is moving with non-uniform speed. (increase or
decrease).
Chemistry
1. If you are camping outdoors and running short on clean
water. You can obtain clean water by distillation. Can you think
of a setup with the items available to you?
2. Blood is an example of a colloidal mixture.
(i) What would happen if blood behaved like a true
suspension inside the body?
(ii) In a blood sample, identify the dispersed phase and the
dispersion medium.
Biology
1. A researcher carried out an experiment in which she took
two carrots of similar size. She placed one carrot in plain water
and the other carrot in concentrated salt solution. After 24
hours she recorded her observations.
(i) What hypothesis does she want to test through this
experiment?
(ii) What would you suggest for the improvement of this
experiment?
(iii) Why does the carrot in plain water stay stiff and crunchy,
but the carrot in concentrated salt solution becomes rubbery
and limp?
2. Subject enrichment activity
Carry out the following experiment:
Take four peeled potato halves and scoop each one out to make
potato cups. One of these potato cups should be made from a
boiled potato. Place each of the potato cups in a beaker
containing water. Now, set up the experiment as follows:
(a) Keep Cup A empty.
(b) Add one teaspoon of sugar in Cup B.
(c) Add one teaspoon of salt in Cup C.
(d) Add one teaspoon of sugar in the boiled potato in Cup D.
Observe the four potato cups for at least two hours and answer
the following questions:
(i) Explain why water gathers in the hollowed portion of Cup
B and Cup C.
(ii) Why is Cup A necessary for this experiment?
(iii) Explain why water does not gather in the hollowed
portions of Cups A and D.
3. The cell membrane of a cell is made up of proteins and
lipids. Which cell organelles help in the synthesis of the cell
membrane? Write the path of these compounds from their site
of synthesis to the cell membrane and show this through a
labelled diagram.
4. A farmer, Deepa, was very happy with the harvest of amla
(Indian Gooseberry) and lemons on her farm. However, she
could sell only one-fourth of the produce in the local market.
Recognising that a significant amount of produce may be lost
post-harvest, she employed a traditional yet scientifically
sound method to extend the shelf life of amla and lemons. She
turned perishable produce into profitable products, such as
pickles and sharbat. She used the excess produce to prepare
pickles, murabbas, and sharbat by adding appropriate amounts
of salt, sugar, or jaggery to small pieces of fruit and their
juices. These were then stored in small glass bottles for sale,
helping her prevent the wastage of post-harvest produce. This
shift from farming to agro-processing would strengthen food
security and boost the local economy, creating a sustainable
model that cuts waste while increasing her income. Based on
the above passage answer the following questions:
(i) Which scientific concept has the farmer applied in the
preservation of the farm produce?
(ii) How does the addition of high concentrations of salt and
sugar create an environment that prevents the growth of
spoilage-causing bacteria and fungi?
(iii) Suggest a healthy recipe of this kind for food preservation.
(iv) What are the scientific values addressed in this case?
