Q8. The speaker was awakened by a body falling over him (para16). What else did he feel and
hear at the same time? What and how did he realize what had really happened? (para18)
Ans As the speaker was awakened by a body falling over him, he felt a burning hot liquid on his
face, neck and chest. It made him howl with pain. At the same time, he heard a great noise, as if
many plates and dishes had fallen down. After a brief struggle with the body which had fallen
over him, the speaker managed to get up and rush out of the room.
It was then that he realized it was morning and in the light from the corridor, he saw
that the valet, while bringing his tea, had tripped over his bed and fallen down, along with the
plates he had been carrying. The hot liquid had been the tea.
Q. Irony is a term used to mean a situation or event which is the very opposite of what was
expected and which is sometimes funny as a result. What could be the irony in the story?
Ans. Right from his arrival at his friend’s house until bedtime, the speaker kept expecting some trick
to be played on him. He was suspicious and watchful, in order to avoid falling into any trap. He
was so careful, in fact, that in taking measures to guard himself against a prank, he set himself
up for an awkward situation, making his friends laugh and fooling himself.This is the irony of
the story.
Q. This story is in first person narrative- the speaker is a character in the story. How does
this style of narration help to build the irony?
Ans. The first person narrative helps to build the irony because this style of narration lets the reader
know exactly what is going on in the speaker’s mind. Had it been told by someone else, we as
readers, may not have known how nervous or suspicious the speaker must have felt or why he
took certain odd decisions, like placing a chair in front of the window or making his bed on the
floor. The first-person narrative traces the feelings of the speaker right from the start of his first
suspicion to growing nervousness to his final embarrassment clearly and helps build the irony
in the story.

A fraction represents a part of a whole. A fraction is written in the form: a / b where a is the
numerator, and b is the non-zero denominator.
When an object or a group of objects is divided into equal parts, then each individual part is a
fraction.
Proper Fraction
A fraction where the numerator is less than the denominator, then it is known as a proper fraction.
i.e., Numerator < Denominator
For example,
Note:
The value of proper fraction after further simplification is always less than 1.
Improper Fraction
A fraction where the numerator is greater than the denominator, then it is known as an improper fraction.
i.e., Numerator > Denominator
For example,
CL---VII—FRACTIONS: Page 1 of 3
Note:
All the natural numbers can be represented in the form of fractions, where the denominator is
always equal to 1.
The simplification of improper fraction results in the value which is equal or greater than 1, but
not less than 1.
Mixed Fraction
A mixed fraction is the combination of a natural number and fraction. It is basically an improper fraction.
Note:
Like Fractions
The fractions which have the same denominators are called like fractions.
For example 1/2, 3/2, 5/2, 7/2 are like fractions.
Unlike Fractions
The fractions which have unequal denominators or different denominators are called, unlike fractions.
For example 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, are unlike fractions.
Equivalent Fractions
When two or more fractions have the same result after simplification for which they represent the same
portion of the whole, then such fractions are equal to each other and are called equivalent fractions.
For example, 1/2 and 2/4 are equivalent.
1/3 and 3/9 are equivalent .
Unit Fractions
A fraction is known as a unit fraction, when the numerator is equal to 1.
Adding Fractions
Addition of fractions is easy when they have a common denominator.
For example, ⅔ + 8/3 = (2+8)/3 = 10/3
Hence, we need to just add the numerators here.
CL---VII—FRACTIONS: Page 2 of 3
Adding with Different Denominators
If the denominators of the two fractions are different, we have to simplify them by finding the LCM of
denominators and then making it common for both fractions.
Example: ⅔ + ¾
The two denominators are 3 and 4
Hence, LCM of 3 and 4 = 12
Therefore, multiplying ⅔ by 4/4 and ¾ by 3/3, we get;
8/12 + 9/12
= (8+9)/12
= 17/12
Subtracting Fractions
The rule for subtracting two or more fractions is same as for addition. The denominators should be
common to subtract two fractions.
Example: 9/2 – 7/2 = (9-7)/2 = 2/2 = 1

❖ Range of a clinical thermometer: The normal temperature of a human body is 370 C. The temperature of
human body normally does not go below 350 or above 420 C. So a clinical thermometer has the range 350 to
420 C.
❖ Range of a laboratory thermometer: The range of a laboratory thermometer is generally from –10°C to 110°C. The
mercury does not fall or rise in a clinical thermometer when taken out of the mouth as the kink prevents
mercury level from falling on its own.
❖ For heat transfer to take place the two bodies should be at different temperature.
❖ Heat will always flow from a hotter body to a colder body.
Q1 What are the similarities and differences between clinical and laboratory thermometer?
Similarities Both thermometers are used to measure temperature and both of them use mercury.
Differences Clinical thermometer is used to measure human body temperature whereas laboratory
Ans. thermometer is used to measure temperature of other object which has higher temperature than human
body temperature..
Clinical thermometer has a kink in its capillary while a laboratory thermometer doesn’t.
Q2 What are the differences between a clinical and a digital thermometer?
Ans. The main difference between them is Clinical thermometer works with the help of mercury
while Digital Thermometer works with cells. Clinical thermometer is more accurate than digital one
when it's cells are weak.
Q3 Draw and label a clinical thermometer?
Ans.
Q2. What is the concept behind kink in a clinical thermometer but not in a laboratory thermometer?
Q4. Alcohol is a colour less liquid but how it is made useful in a thermometer?
Q6. Can a clinical thermometer be used to measure the temperature of boiling water ? Give reasons.

TOPIC: PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL CHANGES
CONTENT :
Dissolving solid in liquid – Salt, sugar, glucose and many other solids dissolve in water. In
solution of sugar in water basic property of sugar and water does not change, no new substance
is formed and we can get back the components by the process of distillation i.e the process is
Miscible liquids like alcohol and water mix together. Basic properties of both the liquids remain
same , no new substance is formed and we can get back the components by normal or fractional
distillation based on the difference in their boiling points. So this change is a physical change.
Some gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide dissolve in water to some extent. We can get back
the gases by heating the water and no new substance is formed in this process so this change is a
physical change.
Activity – Tearing of paper – We take a sheet of paper and tear it into a number of small pieces.
We cannot join the cut pieces of paper to make the original sheet of paper. But each small piece
of paper is still paper, it has not changed into something else. Only the size and shape of paper
has changed but no new substance has been formed. So tearing of paper is a physical change.
Activity- Melting of ice- We take some ice in a beaker and keep it aside for sometime. We see
that ice melts to form water. Actually the ice receives heat from the surrounding air to melt and
form water. Though ice and water look different , they both are made of water molecules. So no
new substance produces. The process can be reversed easily by freezing the water to form ice
Activity – chalk stick to chalk dust- We crush a small piece of chalk into dust. Both the chalk
piece and chalk dust are just the same substance, only their size is different. No new substance is
formed. We can add little water to the chalk dust and make a thick paste which can be moulded
into a chalk stick. So the process can be reversed. Thus the conversion of chalk stick into chalk dust
is a physical change.
Ans. .Yes , only the size of the rubber band changes on stretching and it comes back to its original
size after we leave it and no new substance is formed
3 Is drying of wet clothes a physical change.
Yes, in this process just the water in the clothes get dried . If we pour water on it the cloth will become
Ans wet again and no new substance is formed.
4 Why dissolution of salt in water is a physical change?
In solution of salt in water basic property of salt and water does not change, no new substance
Ans is formed and we can get back the components by the process of distillation i.e the process is
reversible so it is a physical change.
5 How can we separate a mixture of miscible liquids like alcohol and water?
Ans we can get back the components by normal or fractional distillation based on the difference in
their boiling points.

Parasitic nutrition-
Parasites live inside or on another organisms and draw nutrition from it and the organisms on which a
parasite live is called host.
Complete parasites: Animal parasites like -tapeworm, pinworm, hookworm live inside intestine of animals
including human.
Plant parasite like-dodder (amarbel) long yellow thread like stem twine around other plants
anddraw nutrition.
Partial parasites: Mistletoe- they make their own food in their green leaves but draw water and minerals from
other plants
Holozoic nutrition-
One organism feed upon another organism, its involves 5 steps-
(i) ingestion- intake of food.
(ii) digestion-breakdown of food.
(iii) absorption-digested food enter into blood.
(iv) assimilation-food carried by blood is utilized by the body.
(v) egestion-undigested food thrown out of the body.
Depend upon type of food holozoic animals classified as-
(i)herbivores-eat plants (ii)carnivores-eat animals flesh (iii)omnivores-eat both plants and animals.
Special types of nutrition-
Carnivorous plants trap insects to get their supply of nitrogenous compounds from which they make proteins.
Example -Pitchers plants have leaves that look like pitchers. The lid of the pitcher closes when an
insect lands on the pitchers. The trapped insects slides down the wall of the pitcher and is digested inside it.
Symbionts are organisms that live together for mutual benefit. A mutually beneficial association between
twoorganisms is called symbiosis.
Lichens for example, are symbionts consisting of a fungus and an alga that cooperate with each other to meet
their food requirements. The fungus provides minerals and water to the alga. The alga supplies the fungus with
food that it manufactures.

GEOGRAPHY
TOPIC- THE INTERIOR OF THE EARTH:
BRIEFING: Igneous rocks form when molten rock (magma or lava) cools and
solidifies. Sedimentary rocks originate when particles settle out of water or air, or by
precipitation of minerals from water. They accumulate in layers. Metamorphic rocks result
when existing rocks are changed by heat, pressure, or reactive fluids, such as hot, mineral-
laden water.
CLASS ASSIGNMENTS: (TO BE DONE IN CW NOTE BOOK IN CLASS)
IMPORTANT QUESTIONS:
Q1.Write some characteristics of Igneous Rocks.
ANS.
1) The igneous form of rocks does not include any fossil deposits. If there are any chances of
fossil deep inside the crust, it erupts out of the Earth’s surface and gets destroyed due to the
sheer heat these rocks produce.
2) Most of the igneous forms include more than one mineral deposit.
3) They can be either glassy or coarse.
4) These usually do not react with acids.
5) The mineral deposits are available in the form of patches with different sizes.
Q2.Differentiate between intrusive igneous rocks and extrusive igneous rock.
ANS.
Intrusive Igneous Rocks Extrusive Igneous Rocks
1.Intrusive igneous rocks are formed when the 1.Extrusive igneous rocks are formed by
