Previous Year Questions (i) The graph of Suma’s journey is shown below. Read the graph. Answer the following questions. a) What quantity is represented on Y–axis? b) What is Suma’s speed from B to C? c) Which section of the graph has the greater slope? d) What is the Suma’s average speed in her entire journey?

PROJECT BASED QUESTIONS —— Project Based Questions —— (i) Being a student of science you know that lightning conductor is an important device to protect the house from lightning. Now consider that one of your neighbours have not installed it in his building. Write a letter to your neighbour mentioning the importance and working of a lightning conductor so that he gets convinced to install it in his building. (ii) Make a report on various devices to measure earthquake. Mention how do they work with pictures and how helpful it is for mankind. (iii) Taking help from internet or magazines collect pictures of solar eclipse and lunar eclipse and make a detailed report describing them and their effects. Or In the 26th general assembly of International Astronomical Union it was decided that ‘Pluto’ would not be considered as a planet anymore. Do research and make a de- tailed report on why earlier Pluto was considered as a planet and why not now. (iv) We know that data literacy allows the learner to ask and answer meaningful questions by collecting, analyzing and making sense of the data encountered in real life. Make a project report on why plotting graphs is so important in Education? Project Based Questions 106
