SECTION B
Apply & Explain
5 Give two examples of how science helps us in daily life. Explain each briefly.
6 Meera notices her bread gets mouldy after 3 days when left on the table, but lasts
longer in the fridge. She wants to find out why. Write how she should use the

that science has helped solve and explain how.
9 Imagine you are on a new planet called "Planet X." It has land and sunlight but no
liquid water and no oxygen. Using what you learned about why Earth is special,
explain whether life could exist on Planet X. Give reasons.

BONUS CHALLENGE
Be a Scientist for a Day!
Find one thing at home that you are curious about (e.g., why does soap make
bubbles? why does a cut apple turn brown?). Write all 6 steps of the scientific
method for it. You don't need to actually do the experiment — just plan it!
