Several objects are placed on a table, you are asked to observe them for a few minutes, go into another room and write down the names of all objects that you can remember. Play this game, with a difference! Ask all the participants in the game to remember objects with some particular property&#8217; while playing this memory game &#8211; remember and write down the names of objects that were made of wood or objects that are edible and so on. Have fun!<br \/>\nHint:<br \/>\nDo it yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Question 2.<br \/>\nFrom a large collection of materials, make groups of objects having different properties like transparency, solubility in water and other properties. In later chapters you will also learn about properties of materials related to electricity and magnetism. After making different groups from the collected materials, try and find out if there are any patterns in these groups. For instance, do all materials which have lustre conduct electricity?<br \/>\nHint: It is not necessary to find a correlation between all properties. For example, mirror has lustre but does not conduct electricity.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Activity 1<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Objective: To study whether the given material is soluble or insoluble in water.<br \/>\nMaterials Required: Water, sugar, chalk, washing soda, sand, copper sulphate and sulphur.<br \/>\nProcedure:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Take 6 beakers and fill each of them to half with water.<\/li>\n<li>Add a pinch of sugar, chalk powder, washing soda, sand, copper sulphate and sulphur in separate beakers.<\/li>\n<li>Stir the contents of each beaker well and allow them to stand for a while.<\/li>\n<li>Observe after few minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-24005\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/ncertsolutions.guru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/NCERT-Solutions-for-Class-6-Science-Chapter-4-Sorting-Materials-into-Groups-1.png?resize=425%2C171&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Science Chapter 4 Sorting Materials into Groups 1\" width=\"425\" height=\"171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/ncertsolutions.guru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/NCERT-Solutions-for-Class-6-Science-Chapter-4-Sorting-Materials-into-Groups-1.png?w=425&amp;ssl=1 425w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/ncertsolutions.guru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/NCERT-Solutions-for-Class-6-Science-Chapter-4-Sorting-Materials-into-Groups-1.png?resize=300%2C121&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 425px) 100vw, 425px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><br \/>\nObservations: Particles of sugar, washing soda and copper sulphate have disappeared.

Such liquids are miscible liquids. Liquids like coconut oil, mustard oil and kerosene have not dissolved. Such liquids are immiscible or insoluble liquids.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Metal: It is a hard, shiny, usually solid material which is able to be shaped and can conduct or allow electricity and heat to pass through it.<\/li>\n<li>Transparency: Light can pass through certain objects. Due to this, we are able to see through the objects. This property of materials to allow light to pass through them and enable visibility is called transparency. On this basis, objects can be of three types:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>i. Transparent: If almost all the light can pass through an object, it is called transparent. We can see clearly through transparent materials such as air, water and a clear glass.<br \/>\nii. Opaque: If no light can pass through an object, it is called opaque. We cannot see through an opaque material at all, such as cardboard, milk, stone and metal.<br \/>\niii. Translucent: If light can pass through an object partially, it is called translucent. We cannot clearly see through a translucent material such as a frosted glass, turbid water and dust-laden air. Such materials allow partial visibility.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Activity 3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Objective: To distinguish between transparent, opaque and translucent materials.<br \/>\nMaterials Required: Apiece of a clear glass, a cardboard, oily paper and torch.<br \/>\nProcedure:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Take a torch and point it to each of the three objects-a clear glass, a cardboard and oily paper one by one.<\/li>\n<li>Write down what happens when light is pointed to each of the objects.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-24007\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ncertsolutions.guru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/NCERT-Solutions-for-Class-6-Science-Chapter-4-Sorting-Materials-into-Groups-3.png?resize=432%2C163&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Science Chapter 4 Sorting Materials into Groups 3\" width=\"432\" height=\"163\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ncertsolutions.guru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/NCERT-Solutions-for-Class-6-Science-Chapter-4-Sorting-Materials-into-Groups-3.png?w=432&amp;ssl=1 432w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ncertsolutions.guru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/NCERT-Solutions-for-Class-6-Science-Chapter-4-Sorting-Materials-into-Groups-3.png?resize=300%2C113&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 432px) 100vw, 432px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><br \/>\nObservation: Light passes through the piece of glass. No light passes through the cardboard. Only a little amount of light passes through the oily paper.<br \/>\nConclusion: Glass is a transparent material as it allows the light to pass through it. Cardboard is an opaque material as it does not allow the light to pass through it. The oily paper is a translucent material as it allows only some light to pass through it.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rough or Smooth: An object having an uneven or irregular surface is said to be rough, such as sandpaper. On the other hand, object having a smooth and levelled or a polished surface is said to be smooth. For example, mirror and metals.<\/li>\n<li>Floatation: Many materials float, whereas many others sink in water. This property is called floatation. Materials such as wool, leaves and feathers float on the water whereas rocks and metals sink.<\/li>\n<li>Density: The mass per unit volume of a substance is known as its density.

Name a metal that exists in liquid state and a metal that is soft and can be cut with knife.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nMercury is a metal that exists in liquid state. Sodium and Potassium are soft metals and can be cut with knife.<\/p>\n<p>Question 5.<br \/>\nWhy do we cook food in utensils made of aluminium or other metallic materials?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nCooking utensils which are used to cook food are made from aluminium or other metals. The reason is that metals are good conductors of heat. They allow the transmission of heat through them and food cooks quickly. Therefore, utensils are made of metals.<\/p>\n<p>Question 6.<br \/>\nUniversal solvent (water) is very essential for the human body. Why?<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nThe universal solvent is able to dissolve a number of substances. So it is essential for the human body. It constitutes a major part of the cells located in human body. All materials are transported across the body in dissolved form.<\/p>\n<p>Question 7.<br \/>\nClassify the following into transparent, translucent and opaque materials.<br \/>\nButter paper, cardboard, ground glass, clear glass, water, air, brick, wall, aluminium sheet<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nTransparent: Clear glass, water, air<br \/>\nTranslucent: Butter paper, ground glass<br \/>\nOpaque: Cardboard, brick, wall, aluminium sheet<\/p>\n<p>Question 8.<br \/>\nClassify the following into hard materials and soft materials.<br \/>\nCotton, iron, diamond, chalk, wood, wax, clay, sponge, bone, feathers<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nHard materials: Iron, diamond, wood, bone, chalk<br \/>\nSoft materials: Cotton, wax, clay, sponge, feathers<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/ncertsolutions.guru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/NCERT-Solutions-Guru.png?resize=170%2C17&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Science Chapter 4 Sorting Materials into Groups\" width=\"170\" height=\"17\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Question 9.<br \/>\nWrite three common characteristics of materials.<br \/>\nAnswer:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>All materials can be felt by one or more of our senses.<\/li>\n<li>All materials occupy space.<\/li>\n<li>All materials possess mass.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Question 10.<br \/>\nWrite a short note on texture.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nMaterials may be rough or smooth. The surface of paper or a glass tumbler feels smooth since there are no uneven surfaces. The bark of tree, rock and sandpaper are rough to touch because their surfaces are uneven and bumpy. So, materials can be classified on the basis of their texture.<\/p>\n<p>Question 11.<br \/>\nWrite a short note on floatation.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nMany materials float, whereas many others sink in water. This property is called floatation. Materials such as wood, leaves and feathers float on the water whereas rocks and metals sink. If you weigh equal volumes of cotton and water, the cotton weigh less than water as cotton is less dense than water.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Long Answer Type Questions<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Question 1.<br \/>\nWhat is classification? How is it useful? Explain with examples.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nThe method of grouping objects on the basis of certain similarities and dissimilarities is called classification. We can understand the importance of classification with the help of simple examples.<\/p>\n<p>a. The things in your house are the most common examples. You classify or group them while arranging them. You keep the utensils in the kitchen, the books in the study room and the bed in the bedroom. It helps in locating the things easily.<\/p>\n<p>b. Classification also enables us to make a systematic study of anything. For example, if you observe the way things have been stocked in your kitchen, you will find that various items are classified. Certain items are classified as spices and stocked together.<\/p>\n<p>Other items may be required for a common activity, say, making a tea. Hence, these are stocked together. You also classify your items and arrange your study table in such a way that you do not have to waste time trying to locate a given item.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/ncertsolutions.guru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/NCERT-Solutions-Guru.png?resize=170%2C17&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Science Chapter 4 Sorting Materials into Groups\" width=\"170\" height=\"17\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Question 2.<br \/>\nDefine solubility of materials in water. Give examples.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nSome materials are soluble in water whereas some are insoluble. For example, sugar is soluble in water whereas sand is insoluble. Actually, water causes all molecules in a solid piece of sugar to break apart. The individual molecules, when separated, are so small that we cannot see them. We can say that sugar is soluble in water. Some solids like sugar and common salt are soluble in water.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, sand is insoluble in water. It settles down in water and does not dissolve even on stirring. Some solids are insoluble in water, e.g., wood, stone, chalk and wax. Materials in each state can therefore be classified on the basis of their solubility in water.<\/p>\n<p>Question 3.<br \/>\nDefine the properties of matter.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nSome important properties of matter are discussed below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Appearance: Materials can be classified on the basis of their appearance. Different materials have different appearance.<\/li>\n<li>Lustre: Materials can be classified on the basis of their lustre or shine. Some shine a lot whereas others are quite dull.<\/li>\n<li>Texture: Different materials feel different when touched, so they have different textures. Some can be rough and others can be smooth.<\/li>\n<li>State: Most materials can be placed into one of the three states: solid, liquid or gas.<\/li>\n<li>Solubility in water: Some materials are soluble in water whereas some are insoluble. Miscible liquids mix with each other while immiscible liquids do not.<\/li>\n<li>Transparency: If almost all the light can pass through an object, it is called transparent. If no light can pass through an object, it is called opaque. If light can pass through an object partially, it is called translucent.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Picture-Based Questions<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Question 1.<br \/>\nObserve the given picture and answer the questions.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-24009\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/ncertsolutions.guru\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/NCERT-Solutions-for-Class-6-Science-Chapter-4-Sorting-Materials-into-Groups-5.png?resize=125%2C209&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Science Chapter 4 Sorting Materials into Groups 5\" width=\"125\" height=\"209\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><br \/>\na.
