This chapter helps us understand the significance of graphs of motion. It explains various methods of drawing graphs with the aid of examples. We will also learn how to draw the graphs of objects moving with uniform and non-uniform speed.

Graphs of Motion

In this chapter, we will learn about the stars and the solar system. We will learn in detail about the phases of the moon, the constellations, and the movement of the sun. Further, we will study artificial satellites.

Stars and Solar System

This chapter discusses two destructive natural phenomena; lightning and earthquakes. It also discusses the steps to minimise destruction caused by these phenomena.

Some Natural Phenomenon

This chapter sheds light on the electric conductivity of liquids. It includes an activity that describes testing the electric conductivity of liquids. It also deals with good and bad conductors of heat in the liquid medium.

Electric Conductivity of Liquids

In this chapter, we will study the process of combustion with the help of activities. It highlights different types of combustion, along with examples of some combustible materials. We will also come across the definition of calorific value.

Combustion, Fuels and Flame

Through this chapter, we will explore the use of coal and petroleum products. It explains the differences between exhaustible and inexhaustible resources. A short note on the use of natural gas is also provided here.

Coal and Petroleum

This activity-based chapter explains the phenomenon of reflection with the help of images. It elaborates on plane mirror, reflection of light by plane mirrors, etc. It also includes lab activities to illustrate this concept.

Reflection of Light at Plane Surface

In this chapter, we will discuss the production and propagation of sound through different mediums. We will come across the description of some musical instruments. It also highlights the structure of the ear with the help of a well-labelled diagram.

Sound

This chapter explains the classification of elements into metals and non-metals. It covers their physical and chemical properties. Further, it explains the various methods of extraction of metals from ores and the reactivity order of metals.
