Here are some important questions and their answers for your Class 6 final exam:

Chapter: Separation of Substances

1. Why do we need to separate substances?

Answer: We need to separate substances to remove unwanted materials, purify useful


substances, and get different components for specific uses.

2. What are the different methods of separation?

Answer: Some common methods of separation are:


• Handpicking – Used for large, visible impurities (e.g., removing stones from
rice).
• Winnowing – Used for separating lighter husk from heavier grains.
• Sieving – Used to separate particles of different sizes (e.g., sand and
stones).
• Sedimentation and Decantation – Used for separating insoluble solids from
liquids.
• Filtration – Used to separate solid impurities from liquids.
• Evaporation – Used to obtain dissolved solids from liquids (e.g., salt from
seawater).

3. How is water purified at home?

Answer: Water can be purified at home by sedimentation and decantation, filtration using a cloth
or filter paper, boiling, and using water purifiers.

Chapter: Getting to Know Plants

1. What are the main parts of a plant?

Answer: The main parts of a plant are roots, stem, leaves, flowers, and fruits.

2. What are the types of roots?


Answer: There are two types of roots:
• Taproot – A single, main root with smaller side roots (e.g., carrot, mustard).
• Fibrous root – A cluster of thin roots growing from the base of the stem
(e.g., wheat, grass).

3. What is photosynthesis?

Answer: Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants make their own food using
sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water. The process occurs in the leaves with the help of
chlorophyll.

4. What is the function of the stem?

Answer: The stem supports the plant, transports water and nutrients, and holds leaves, flowers,
and fruits.

Chapter: Light, Shadows, and Reflections

1. What are the sources of light?

Answer: Sources of light can be natural (e.g., the Sun, stars) or artificial (e.g., bulbs, candles).

2. How are shadows formed?

Answer: Shadows are formed when an opaque object blocks the path of light. The shape of the
shadow depends on the object’s shape and the light source.

3. What is a reflection?

Answer: Reflection is the bouncing back of light from a shiny or smooth surface, like a mirror.

4. What are the differences between luminous and non-luminous objects?

Luminous Objects Non-Luminous Objects


Luminous Objects Non-Luminous Objects
Objects that produce their own light (e.g., Sun, candle) Objects that do not produce light but
reflect it (e.g., Moon, book)

Chapter: Electricity and Circuits

1. What is an electric circuit?

Answer: An electric circuit is a closed path through which electricity flows. It includes
components like a battery, wires, switch, and a bulb.

2. What are conductors and insulators?

Answer:
• Conductors: Materials that allow electricity to pass through (e.g., metals like
copper, aluminum).
• Insulators: Materials that do not allow electricity to pass through (e.g.,
plastic, rubber, wood).

3. What is the function of a switch in a circuit?

Answer: A switch is used to open or close a circuit, allowing or stopping the flow of electricity.

Chapter: Air Around Us

1. What are the main components of air?

Answer: Air is a mixture of gases, including:


• Nitrogen (78%)
• Oxygen (21%)
• Carbon dioxide, water vapor, and other gases (1%)

2. How is oxygen useful for living organisms?

Answer: Oxygen is necessary for respiration in humans, animals, and plants. It helps release
energy from food.
3. Why is air called a mixture?

Answer: Air is called a mixture because it contains different gases that are not chemically
combined and can be separated by physical means.

Chapter: Living Organisms and Their Surroundings

1. What are the characteristics of living organisms?

Answer:
• Movement
• Growth
• Reproduction
• Response to stimuli
• Need for food and water
• Respiration

2. What is adaptation?

Answer: Adaptation is the ability of an organism to survive and thrive in its surroundings by
developing special features.

3. Give an example of adaptation in plants and animals.

Answer:
• Cactus: Stores water in its thick stem and has spines instead of leaves to
reduce water loss.
• Camel: Has long legs, humps to store fat, and can survive without water for
days.

Chapter: Motion and Measurement of Distances

1. What are the types of motion?


Answer:
• Rectilinear motion: Motion in a straight line (e.g., a car on a road).
• Circular motion: Motion around a fixed point (e.g., a fan blade).
• Periodic motion: Motion that repeats at regular intervals (e.g., pendulum).

2. What is standard unit of measurement?

Answer: The standard unit of length is the meter (m). Smaller distances are measured in
centimeters (cm) and millimeters (mm), while larger distances are measured in kilometers (km).

3. Why do we need standard units of measurement?

Answer: Standard units ensure uniformity and accuracy in measurement worldwide.

Chapter: Magnets

1. What are magnets?

Answer: Magnets are objects that attract iron, nickel, and cobalt. They have two poles: north and
south.

2. What are the properties of a magnet?

Answer:
• Magnets attract iron and similar materials.
• They have two poles (north and south).
• Like poles repel, unlike poles attract.
• A freely suspended magnet always points north-south.

3. What is the difference between natural and artificial magnets?

Natural Magnets Artificial Magnets


Found in nature (e.g., lodestone) Made by humans (e.g., bar magnet, horseshoe magnet)

4. What are some uses of magnets?


Answer: Magnets are used in compasses, electric motors, refrigerators, and magnetic locks.
