SCIENCE HOLIDAYS HOMEWORK

CLASS 7
1. INTERDISCIPLINARY PROJECT-Make a collage (on A4 sheet):
Topic: Marine ecology of Andaman and Nicobar and Lakshadweep Islands and its
conservation
● Study these ecosystems, including the coral reefs, understand the impact of climate
change on them.
● Find innovative technology-based conservation solutions, such as developing and
implementing marine protected areas etc.
2. DESIGN AN INFOGRAPHIC -Smoking is injurious to health. Smokers generally suffer
from a variety of problems related to breathing. Prepare an infographic on any
disease related to the respiratory system. List the causes, its effect on respiration and
cure.(on A4 sheet)
3. Read Chapter : Nutrition in Living Organisms – Animals and Man and Respiration in
living organisms and write meanings of difficult words in the book itself.
Biology Assignment
Chapter 1- Nutrition in living organisms - Plants
Answer the following questions in classwork notebook - 1. Cuscuta is a parasite . Explain
2 Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for plant growth. But farmers who cultivate pulse crops
like green gram , black gram etc do not apply nitrogenous fertilizers during cultivation.
Why?
3. It is important to increase forest cover. Give reason
4: Wheat dough if left in open, after a few days, starts to emit a foul smell and becomes
unfit for use. Give reason.
5: Compare the small intestine of herbivores and carnivores.
6: Some plants have leaves that are not green in colour. Do such plants perform photosy
nthesis? Explain.
7: Upper and lower surface of some leaves in a potted plant are covered with vaseline. It is
observed that these leaves becomes yellow and fall off after some days. Why does this
happen? Justify your answer giving reasons.
8: Wild animals like tiger, lion and leopard do not eat plants. Does this mean that they can
survive without plants? Can you provide a suitable explanation?
9: Draw a neat and labelled diagram of stomata . Also mention its functions.
10: Photosynthesis requires chlorophyll and a few other raw materials. Add the missing
raw materials to the list given below
Water, minerals , —————Activity physics and chemistry
The environment may be defined as the overall working of the various systems that
exist within our natural order. We exist thanks to our environment. It is our source of
life, our roots, our world without which there would be no us. To mark its significance,
the UN general assembly declared 5th June as the world environment day. This year,
2024, the theme of world environment day is land restoration, desertification and
drought resilience. To celebrate this day, let us find answers to these questions.
1. How is our land getting polluted?
2. Why are disposable items specially made up of thermocol and plastic a threat to
our land? 3.From our daily life usable items, collect disposable things which
are of no use and paste them on A3 size sheets.
4.Analyse your house waste and segregate it into biodegradable and non-
biodegradable
5.To restore our land, what action can be taken by you as a student?
6.Collect some waste materials and decorate them as planters and plant small
plants in it. (You can give them to your friends in the future, any 5.)
7.Survey 5 individuals from your locality/family/society about the changes that they
have observed throughout their lives in the forest cover of Delhi.
Do all these on A-4 size sheet
Take photos for evidence and paste onA-4sisheet
Slogan for world environment day is “our land, our future.” Make a poster on this theme
on A-3size sheet with this slogan also on it
Assignment: Simple Pendulum MCQs (Multiple Choice Questions)

• Physics assignment

Question 1: Assertion: The time period of a simple pendulum depends on the length of the pendulum.
Reason: The longer the length of the pendulum, the shorter the time period. A) Both Assertion and Reason
are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion. B) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but
Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion. C) Assertion is true, but Reason is false. D) Assertion is
false, but Reason is true.

Question 2: What factor does not affect the time period of a simple pendulum? A) Mass of the pendulum
bob B) Length of the pendulum C) Amplitude of the swing D) Gravity

Question 3: If the length of a simple pendulum is doubled, what will happen to its time period? A) It will
become half B) It will double C) It will remain the same D) It will increase, but not double
Question 4: At which point of the swing does the simple pendulum have the maximum potential energy? A)
At the highest point B) At the lowest point C) At the midpoint D) At any point during the swing

Question 5: Which statement is true about the relationship between the length and the time period of a
simple pendulum? A) Longer pendulums have shorter time periods. B) Shorter pendulums have longer time
periods. C) There is no relationship between length and time period. D) The time period remains constant
regardless of the length.

Question 6: What happens to the time period of a simple pendulum if the gravitational acceleration
increases? A) It increases B) It decreases C) It remains the same D) It becomes unpredictable

Question 7: Assertion: The time period of a simple pendulum is independent of the mass of the pendulum
bob. Reason: The mass of the pendulum bob affects the gravitational force acting on it, which does not
affect the time period. A) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of
Assertion. B) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion. C)
Assertion is true, but Reason is false. D) Assertion is false, but Reason is true.

Question 8: What factor primarily determines the time period of a simple pendulum? A) Friction in the
pendulum's support B) Length of the pendulum C) Material of the pendulum bob D) Shape of the pendulum
bob

Question 9: If the length of a simple pendulum is halved, what will happen to its time period? A) It will
become half B) It will double C) It will remain the same D) It will increase, but not double

Question 10: At which point of the swing does the simple pendulum have the maximum kinetic energy? A)
At the highest point B) At the lowest point C) At the midpoint D) At any point during the swing
