Question 2.
\nSuggest two methods to find out wind direction at a given place.
\nAnswer:
\nTwo methods to find out wind direction are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Using an anemometer.<\/li>\n
  2. A simple method is to hold some dust and release in the air. Dust will fly in the direction of wind flow.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Question 3.
    \nState two experiences that make you think that air exerts pressure (other than those given in the text).
    \nAnswer:
    \na) Experiment 1:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. When we fill air in a balloon, it inflates due to pressure exerted by air.<\/li>\n
    2. When it is overfilled with air, it bursts due to excess of air pressure.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      b) Experiment 2: When a banner is hanging in open air, it tears due to the pressure exerted by air.<\/p>\n

      Question 4.
      \nWhile constructing a house, where do we construct ventilators; why?
      \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Warm air rises upwards and cool air comes downwards.<\/li>\n
      2. To make a stream of cool and fresh air to flow in continuation into the house through the windows, there must be some ventilators in the upper parts of the walls of the house.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Question 5.
        \nExplain why holes are made in banners and hoardings hanging in the open.
        \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Air exerts pressure.<\/li>\n
        2. If there are no holes in the banners and hoardings, they will be damaged.<\/li>\n
        3. To make them safe, holes are made to give the air a safe passage.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          \"AP<\/p>\n

          Question 6.
          \nHow will you help your neighbours in case of cyclone approaches your village\/ town?
          \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. We help and cooperate our neighbours.<\/li>\n
          2. We help in making necessary arrangements to shift their essential household goods, domestic animals and vehicles etc., to safer places.<\/li>\n
          3. We suggest them.
            \na) to avoid driving on roads as flood water standing on roads might have damaged the roads.
            \nb) not to drink water which might have been contaminated.
            \nc) advise them not to touch fallen power lines and wet switches.
            \nd) exhorts them not to go out for fun.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Question 7.
            \nIn the day time, when we go to the sea the air blows towards us and does not go towards the sea. Explain.
            \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. The land heats up faster than sea, so warm air rises over the land during the day as it is warmed by the sun.<\/li>\n
            2. This can create a sea breeze which is gentle breeze blowing into the land.<\/li>\n
            3. So air blows towards us and does not go towards the sea during day time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Question 8.
              \nWhich of the statements given below is correct?
              \na) In winter the winds flow from the land to the ocean.
              \nb) In summer the winds flow from the land towards the ocean.
              \nc) A cyclone is formed by a very high pressure system with very high speed winds revolving around it.
              \nd) The coastline of India is not vulnerable to cyclones.
              \nAnswer:
              \nThe only correct statement is

              Question 11.
              \nRead the following procedure and make your own anemometer.
              \nAnswer:
              \nCollect the following items<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. (a) 4 small paper cups
                \n(b) Two strips of the cardboard 20 cm long, 2 cm width
                \n(c) Gum
                \n(d) Stapler
                \n(e) Sketch pen
                \n(f) sharpened pencil.<\/li>\n
              2. Take a scale draw crosses under the card board strips as shown in figure.
                \n\"AP<\/li>\n
              3. Fix the strips at the centre, putting one over the other they make a \u2019+’ sign. Now fix the cups at the ends of the strips.<\/li>\n
              4. Colour one cup with sketch pen. All four cups should face in the same direction.<\/li>\n
              5. Push a pin through the centre of the strips and attach the strips to the sharpened pencil.<\/li>\n
              6. Check that the strips rotate freely and when you blow on the cups.<\/li>\n
              7. Your anemometer is ready. Counting the number of rotations for a minute will give you an estimate the speed of the wind.<\/li>\n
              8. The student can thus find the speed of the wind.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                Question 12.
                \nCollect some articles and photographs from newspapers and magazines about storms and cyclones. Make a story on the basis of what you learnt in this chapter.
                \nAnswer:
                \nThis can be done by the student independently.<\/p>\n

                Question 13.
                \nInterview eye witnesses to collect the actual experiences of people affected by a cyclone.
                \nAnswer:
                \nA cyclonic storm creates terror. The wind flow is very high with lot of fearing sound. Small houses like huts and sheds collapsed. There is no power to know the information about cyclone. Nobody is ready to come out to rescue the victims. Heavy rain causes flooded roads. No food and no water to drink. We came outside after the cyclone. It seemed our village was a big river.<\/p>\n

                Question 14.
                \nMore fun with air.
                \nA) Do the following activities and write your findings.<\/p>\n

                  \n
                1. Take an empty bottle and place it on the table as shown in figure.
                  \n\"AP<\/li>\n
                2. Place a cotton ball just inside its mouth.<\/li>\n
                3. Now try to blow air on the ball to send it into the bottle, and then try the activity with bottles of different sizes.<\/li>\n
                4. Throw a challenge to your friends whether they can send the cotton ball inside the bottle by blowing air,<\/li>\n
                5. Are you surprised? Why did this happen? Think about it and discuss with your friends.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  B) Can you blow out the ball from funnel?<\/p>\n

                    \n
                  1. Take a funnel and ball, keep the funnel in your mouth as shown in figure.
                    \n\"AP<\/li>\n
                  2. Keep the ball in the funnel.<\/li>\n
                  3. Blow air through the funnel and try to send out the ball from funnel.<\/li>\n
                  4. It is not possible because the air blown creates a low pressure area under the ball.<\/li>\n
                  5. This sucks the ball in the funnel.<\/li>\n
                  6. And then place the ball on your hand and put the funnel over the ball as shown in figure.
                    \n\"AP<\/li>\n
                  7. Now blow air forcefully through funnel and try to blow out the ball from the funnel (while blowing air,m remove hand).
                    \na) What did you observe?
                    \nb) What did you expect?
                    \nc) What happens?
                    \nAnswer:
                    \na) The ball did not fall down.
                    \nb) I expected that the ball falls,
                    \nc) The ball remained in the funnel.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                    C) Flow of air Experiment.<\/p>\n

                      \n
                    1. Take a large plastic bottle and a two holed rubber cork that fits firmly into its mouth.<\/li>\n
                    2. Also take two glass tubes. Tie a coloured balloon to the lower end of one of the glass tubes.<\/li>\n
                    3. Insert the glass tubes into the two holes of the cork.<\/li>\n
                    4. The glass tubes should fit tightly in the holes.<\/li>\n
                    5. Close the mouth of the bottle with the cork and seal it with sealing wax to make the bottle airtight.<\/li>\n
                    6. The balloon should be inside the bottle as shown in fig.
                      \n\"AP<\/li>\n
                    7. Now suck air out of the bottle through the tube that doesn’t have a balloon attached to it.
                      \na) What happens to the ballon?
                      \nb) Why do you think this happened?
                      \nAnswer:
                      \na) The balloon inflated.
                      \nb) 1) Inside the bottle low pressure developed. This made the air to rush into the bottle.
                      \n2) As balloon is attached to the other end of the glass tube, air enters into it and the balloon inflates.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
