| redworms - friends of farmers |
Answer: Non bio-degradable waste like pieces of cloth, polythene bags, broken glass, aluminium wrappers, nails, old shoes and broken toys cannot be converted into compost by the redworms.
(b) Besides redworms there are spiders, small bugs, flies, moulds and small insects etc. can be seen in the pit. Compost is also rich of microbes which can't be seen with unaided eye.
Q3: Discuss:
(a) Is garbage disposal the responsibility only of the government?
(b) Is it possible to reduce the problems relating to disposal of garbage?
Answer:
(a) Garbage Disposal is the responsibility of every citizen. If we continue to generate so much garbage, very soon our beautiful earth will convert into a big garbage-bin. Non-biodegradable waste like plastic is harmful to our environment as well as to our health. We must ensure ways to reduce production of garbage. Wherever possible, we must use recyclable material in our daily use.
(b) Yes it is possible to reduce the problems relating to disposal of garbage to a large extent. We should use those materials which are recyclable. We should avoid or reduce the use of non-biodegradable materials at minimum level. While throwing out garbage in trash can, we should separate biodegradable waste from non-biodegradable and throw them in separate bins.
Q4: (a) What do you do with the left over food at home?
(b) If you and your friends are given the choice of eating in a plastic plate or a banana leaf platter at a party, which one would you prefer and why?
Answer: (a) Left over food can be collected and be converted into compost. We can feed our pet animals with left over food. If enough food is left (e.g. after a party), we may distribute the food to shelter homes.
(b) Banana leaf is a better choice. It is bio-degradable and can be disposed easily. On the other hand, eating in plastic plate is not good. Plastic material may contain harmful substance which can make the contained food toxic. which is harmful to our health. Also plastic is non-biodegradable, it will not dispose off easily.
Q5: (a) Collect pieces of different kinds of paper. Find out which of these can be recycled.
(b) With the help of a lens look at the pieces of paper you collected for the above question. Do you see any difference in the material of recycled paper and a new sheet of paper ?
Answer:
(a) Almost all kinds of paper are recyclable i.e. newspapers, magazines, papers, notebooks, envelopes etc.
(b) The difference between new sheet and recycle paper is subtle. Usually hand made recycled paper is of coarse quality.
Q6: (a) Collect different kinds of packaging material. What was the purpose for which each one was used? Discuss in groups.
(b) Give an example in which packaging could have been reduced?
(c) Write a story on how packaging increases the amount of garbage.
Answer:
(a) Different kinds of packaging materials used commonly are:
- Cardboard - used as shoe boxes
- Plastic Bags - Toys covers, sarees bags
- Wooden Boxes - Fruit baskets
- Jute Bags - School bags, shopping bags
(b) Since plastic is
harmful to our environment and is non-biodegradable. We should avoid using
plastic packaging.
(c) The basic purpose of packaging is to protect the product from tampering and to maintain its freshness. However, most of the packaging material is used to beautify the boxes and make them look attractive on the shelves. Unfortunately a large volume of packaging material goes waste and is thrown into dustbin. For example, if you go to any park, there dustbins are full of potato chips wrappers. It unnecessarily increases the amount of garbage. It also increase the cost of the product due to unnecessary packaging. We should seriously consider how to reduce unnecessary packaging. We should prefer buy products carry less packaging material.
Q7: Do you think it is better to use compost instead of chemical fertilisers? Why?
Answer: No doubt compost is better to use than chemical fertilizers due to following reasons:

Ch 15 : Air Around Us
CBSE class 6 - Science - CH 15 - Air Around Us
Q1: What is the composition of air?
Answer: Air is a mixture gases, water vapours and dust particles. Largely it consists of:
Q2: What are the important properties of air?
Answer: Important properties of air are:
Q3: Which gas in the atmosphere is essential for respiration?
Answer: Oxygen is essential for living organisms.
Q4: How will you prove that air supports burning?
Answer: Place a burning candle in a tray. Cover it with a glass jar. To make it air-tight, fill tray with water. After sometime, burning candle dims and goes off. Water level also rises up in the jar. It shows air support burning.
Explanation: During burning, oxygen is consumed and carbon-dioxide is released. After sometime no oxygen is left inside the jar and flame goes out. Once the candle goes off, the temperature surrounding the candle cools down and volume of air (carbon dioxide) decreases. Thus water rises up little in the jar.
Q5: How will you show that air is dissolved in
water?
Answer: Take some water in a glass vessel or beaker. Heat it slowly on a tripod stand. Well before the water begins to boil, look carefully at the inner surface of the vessel. These bubbles come from the air
dissolved in water.
Q6: Why does a lump of cotton wool shrink in water?
Answer: Air is present in the cotton wool. When dipped in water, air present in wool escape and it shrinks.

3. Air occupies _space_.
4. Aquatic animals use _dissolved_ air in water for respiration.
Q8: List five activities that are possible due to the presence of air.
Answer:
Q9: How do plants and animals help each other in the exchange of gases in the atmosphere?
Answer: There is the interdependence of plants and animals. Both plants and animals respire i.e. they inhale oxygen and gives out carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Plants take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and prepare food. This is called photosynthesis. During this process, plants give out oxygen to the atmosphere. Therefore plants and animals help each other in the exchange of gases in the atmosphere.
Q10:Why do why earthworms come out of the soil, only during heavy rains?
Answer: Most of the small organisms like earth worms, rodents live inside the soil. They usually live in burrows and holes in the soil. These burrows also make spaces available for air to move in and out of the soil. However, when it rains heavily, water fills up all the spaces occupied by the air in the soil. In this situation, animals living in the soil have to come out for respiration.
