    This document contains a science lesson on classifying different materials and objects. It provides examples of classifying various materials like glass, smoke, oxygen, etc. based on their state of matter, solubility, conductivity and hardness. It distinguishes between transparent, translucent and opaque objects. It defines classification as systematically arranging things into groups based on common properties. The need for classification is explained as it helps in sorting, locating, arranging and identifying objects systematically and aids in understanding similarities and differences between objects. The document also differentiates between solids, liquids and gases and discusses how to distinguish between miscible and immiscible liquids. Finally, it explains why cooking utensil handles are made of plastic or wood.

    DOHA MODERN INDIAN SCHOOL

    Science
    GRADE: 6 LESSON -4
    Sorting Out Materials And Objects
    QUESTION AND ANSWERS
    1. Describe an activity to show that water is a good solvent.
    Any substance in which something is dissolved is called solvent. As we know sugar
    is a solute, take some sugar and put it in the water. Stir it for 2 minutes. you will
    see sugar get dissolved in water. It proves that water is a good solvent.
    2. Classify the following materials on the basis of following:
    (glass, smoke, oxygen, cooking oil, ice, ink, wood, orange juice,
    common salt, mercury, gold, vinegar, air)
    a) States of matter b) Solubility
    c) Conductivity d) Hardness

    Materials States Solubility Conductivity Hardness

    Ice Solid Soluble Bad Conductor Insulator Partially Easy to
    (Use the heat press (melts and
    and melt itself) changes its shape on
    pressing)

    Soluble
    Oxygen Gas Soluble Poor conductor Insulator Easily pressed

    3. Differentiate between transparent, translucent and opaque objects. Give


    examples.
    Objects
    Transparent Translucent Opaque
    Allow light to pass Allow light to pass Do not allow light to pass
    through them through them partially through them
    completely
    Clear glass, Clean water, Frosted glass, thin cloth, Wood, metal, etc.,
    etc., etc.,

    4.Define Classification.
    The process of systematically arranging things into groups on the basis of a
    common property is called classification.

    5.What is the basis of classifying different materials?


    Objects and materials can be grouped together on the basis of similarities and
    differences in their properties. Such grouping and classification also help us in
    understanding the common properties of materials and hence their utility for
    making different objects.

    6.What is the need of classification?


    • Helps in sorting out the objects.
    • Make it easier to locate any object quickly i.e., saves time.
    • Is convenient to arrange things systematically.
    • Helps to identify any object.
    • Helps in having systematic knowledge about things.
    • Makes study of different objects easier.
    • Helps to understand similarities and dissimilarities among different objects.
    • Enables us to differentiate between members of different groups.
    7.How will you differentiate between solid, liquid and gas?

    8.How do you distinguish between miscible and immiscible liquids? Give two
    examples of each type.
    Miscible Immiscible
    Liquids that mix with each other Liquids that do not mix with each
    completely other
    Eg: Milk and water Eg: Oil and Water

    9.Why are handles of utensils like cooker, frying pan etc. made of plastic or
    wood?
    The handles of cooking utensils are made up of plastic or wood because plastics
    and wood are bad conductors of heat. As they are bad conductors of heat
    therefore they won't be able to pass the heat of the flame to the person's hand
    and will prevent the person from burns or any other injuries.

    Note: Q&A should be done in the notebook.
