i. Students spend a lot of time in front of the TV. They watch advertisements selling various consumer
products targeted at children. As a result, children demand the clothes, shoes, food etc. advertised on
the TV.
TV Advertisements and Children A flood of new TV advertisements leaves no doubt that children are
a major focus of advertisers. In April-May of 2002 an estimated 35% of all TV ads were using children
to attract consumer interest and a large proportion were targeting the child viewer specifically.
According to our findings, almost 75% children in 8-15 age group say they want to own products
advertised on TV. Asked to name their ten favourite ads, they named detergent and even airline ads
rather than ads for toys, games, sweets or food products.
Using the information provided above and using your own ideas, write an article for school

magazine in about 150 words.

consequences of excessive home- work, using your own ideas and the information which you have got
in the MCB unit ‘Education’.
Practise all the questions’ answer those have been discussed and given in the textbook. Answer following questions.

i. What led the boys to dislike the Germans?

ii. The narrator preferred to keep the secret which the boys did not want to reveal. What was the secret and
why did the boys want to keep it?

15) CASE BASED STUDY QUESTIONS
A chemical reaction is a representation of chemical change in terms of
symbols and formulae of reactants and products. There are various types of
chemical reactions like combination, decomposition, displacement, double
displacement, oxidation and reduction reactions. Reactions in which heat is
released along with the formation of products are called exothermic chemical
reactions. All combustion reactions are exothermic reactions.

(i) The chemical reaction in which a single substance breaks down into two or
more simpler substances upon heating is known as.
(ii) The massive force that pushes the rocket forward through space is
generated due to the
(a) combination reaction (b) decomposition reaction
(c) displacement reaction (d) double displacement reaction
(iii) A white salt on heating decomposes to give brown fumes and yellow
residue is left behind. The yellow residue left is of
(iv) Which of the following reactions represents a combination reaction?
(a) CaO (s) + H2O (l) → Ca(OH)2 (aq)
(b) CaCO3 (s) → CaO (s) + CO2(g)
(c) Zn(s) + CuSO4 (aq) → ZnSO4 (aq) + Cu(s)
(d) 2FeSO4(s) → Fe2O3 (s) +SO2(g) + SO3(g)
(v) Complete the following statements by choosing correct type of reaction for
X and Y.
Statement 1: The heating of lead nitrate is an example of ‘X’ reaction.
Statement 2: The burning of magnesium is an example of ‘Y’ reaction.
(a) X- Combination, Y- Decomposition

 CASE BASED STUDY QUESTIONS
15) A student was–performing an activity to prove the requirements for
photosynthesis. During this activity, he kept two identical healthy potted
plants A and B in dark for 72 hours. After 72 hours, he covered plant A and B
by bell shaped jars separately. While covering the plants with separate bell
jars, he kept KOH in the watch glass by the side of the plant in setup A and
not in setup B. Both these setups were made air tight and were kept in light
for 6 hours. Then, Iodine Test was performed with one leaf from each of the
two plants A and B.
i) This experimental set up is used to prove essentiality of which of the
following requirements of photosynthesis?
(a) Chlorophyll (b) Oxygen (c) Carbon dioxide (d) Sunlight
ii) The function of KOH is to absorb
(a) Oxygen. (b) Carbon dioxide. (c) Moisture. (d) Sunlight
iii) Which of the following statements shows the correct results of Iodine Test
performed on the leaf from plant A and B respectively?
(a) Blue - black colour would be obtained on the leaf of plant A
(b Blue - black colour would be obtained on the leaf of plant B
(c) Red colour would be obtained on the leaf of plant A
(d) Red colour would be obtained on the leaf of plant B
