2. Write the scientific term for the following.

a. skeleton b. muscles c. ribcage d. cartilage e. joint

a. Movable joint allows free movement and has cartilage present between the bones of
joint. Fixed joints do not allow movement of bones between joints and cartilage is
absent.

Cartilage is soft, elastic tissue present in the body.
c. Hinge joint allows movement only in one direction, present in the knee.
Ball and socket joint is present in the hip and shoulder and allows maximum
movement.

a. skeleton b. ball and socket c. movable joint
d. streamline e. Snakes

a. Muscles work in pairs. When one of them contract, the bone is pulled in that direction.
The other muscle of the pair relaxes. To move the bone in the opposite direction, the
relaxed muscle contracts to pull the bone towards its original position, while the first
relaxes. A muscle can only pull.
b. The body of an earthworm is made of many rings joined end to end. It has no bones
but has muscles which help it to extend and shorten its body. During movement, the
earthworm first extends the front part of the body, keeping the rear part fixed to
the ground. Then it fixes the front part and releases the rear end. It then shortens
the body and pulls the rear end forward. This makes it move by a small distance.
Repeating such muscle expansions and contraction, the earthworm moves through
the soil.
c. The streamlined body shape, hollow bones, modified forelimbs into wings and strong
chest muscles enable a bird to fly.

d. Snakes have a long backbone. It has many thin muscles that are connected to each
other. Muscles also interconnect the backbone, ribs and skin. The snake's body curves
into many loops. Each loop of the snake gives it a forward push by pressing against
the ground. Since its body makes many loops and each loop gives it this push, the
snake moves forward very fast but not in a straight line.
e. An earthworm is called a farmer’s friend because as it moves through the soil it turns
the soil and its excreta makes the soil fertile
f. The skeleton of a fish is covered by strong muscles. During swimming, the muscles
make the front part of the body curve to one side and the tail part swings towards the
opposite side. Then quickly, the body and tail curve to the other side. This makes a
jerk and pushes the body forward. A series of such jerks make the fish swim ahead.
The fins help to maintain balance and the tail fin helps to change direction while
swimming.
g. A cockroach walks with help of its three pairs of jointed legs. The two pairs of wings
attached to the breast enable it to fly.
h. If the backbone was made of one single bone we would not be able to bend and turn.
i. The ball is like the part of the shoulder to which your arm is joined. The rounded end
of one bone fits into the cavity of the other bone. Such a joint allows movement in all
directions.

b. A compass is a small box with a small cover on it. A magnetized needle is pivoted
inside the box, which can rotate freely. The compass also has a dial with directions
on it. The compass is kept at a place where we wish to know the direction. Its needle
indicates the north-south direction when it comes to rest.
c. A bar magnet should be kept in pairs with the unlike poles on the same side. They
must be separated by a piece of wood. And two pieces of soft iron should be placed
across their ends. For horseshoe magnet, one should keep a piece of iron across the
poles.
d. Take the metal strip of iron and place it on a table. Take a bar magnet and place one
of its poles near one edge of the iron strip. Without lifting the bar magnet, move it
along the length of the iron strip till you reach the other end. Now, lift the magnet and
bring the same pole to the same point of the iron strip from where you began. Move
the magnet again along the iron strip as you did before. Repeat this process 30 – 40
times. Bring some pins near the iron strip, they will get attracted towards it.
e. Do not heat, hammer or drop magnets from a height as they can lose their properties.
Store magnets properly to prevent them from becoming weak.
4. Study the picture given below. Why does the clip rise in the air without support?
The paper clip rises without any support because there is a magnet inside the bottom of
the cup.

d. lake e. transpiration

a. The cyclic movement of water by changing its state between the Earth and the
atmosphere.
b. The loss of water from the leaves of the plants in the form of water vapour.
c. Storing of rainwater to recharge ground water or for other purposes.

a. Surface water is water present on the surface of the Earth.
Groundwater is the water present under the Earth’s surface
b. Evaporation is the change of water into water vapour on heating.
Condensation is the change of water vapour into water on cooling.
a. Three factors that are responsible for the lowering of the water table is increasing
population, deforestation, making land concrete.
b. The rate of evaporation can be fastened by heating, wind and more exposed area.
c. We can draw out ground water by tube wells, wells.
d. In this system, rainwater is collected from the rooftop to a storage tank. Sometimes
pipes to drain off rainwater goes directly into a pit in the ground. This then seeps into
the soil to recharge or refill the groundwater.
e. Water evaporates from water bodies due to the heat of the Sun and also due to
transpiration. Water vapour rises with with warm air. On coming in contact with cool
air high up in the sky, water vapour condense to drops of water. Drops of water join
to form clouds. When the clouds become heavy they fall down as rain. This cycle goes
on in nature.
f. Sea water is kept in deep pits. The water evaporates ,leaving behind salt . This salt is
purified and is then used.
