SCIENCE
Q1. Unless some force applies a nudge,
A body simply will not budge,
But rests if its at rest already,
Or else keeps going straight and steady!
Well! We all agree with this. Isnt it? This is what is popularly known as Newtons 1st law
of motion. Sir Isaac Newton, the father of mechanics, is one of the most important scientists

who ever lived, changing the standards by which scientists think. His genius in mathematics
and mechanics is exemplified by his creation of calculus to explain observations of the world
around him. In addition, his laws of motion opened the door to progressive new thinking,
enlightening the minds of thousands to the nature of things.
This summer vacation try to explore more about this fast moving world by collecting a data
according to the given instructions:
(a) Observe the odometer and speedometer of the vehicle in which you are seated during
your journey to any of the place after every regular interval of time for about half an
hour.
(b) Note down the initial reading of the odometer and speedometer.
(c) Note down the starting time.
(d)Make a table stating time (min), odometer reading (km) and speedometer reading
(km/h).
(e) Plot the distance time graph and speed time graph from the data collected.
(f) Draw conclusion about the types of motion.
(g)State the reason for the type of motion exhibited by your vehicle during the journey.
Supporting pictures of your travel/ pictures supporting your conclusion).
Use A-4 size interleaved coloured pastel sheets.Use the ruled side for textual content
Q2. Prepare a scrap book/ video/ Power Point Presentation of a biological
phenomenon:(Examples biogeochemical cycles, working of cell organelles, types of tissues,
diversity in plant kingdom, diversity in animal kingdom, vertebrates, acute diseases, chronic
diseases,inflammation, vaccinations- past and present etc.)
