Class 6 Science Practice Question Paper – 2

Q1. Fill in the blanks (with explanation):

• The Sun is the main source of light.
  The Sun provides natural light needed for life on Earth.
• A lever is an example of a simple machine.
  It helps us lift or move objects more easily.
• Sound travels in the form of waves.
  Vibrations cause waves that travel through air or other media.
• Magnetic force acts without touching the object.
  Magnets can pull objects like iron without physical contact.
• Earth is a part of the solar system.
  It orbits the Sun along with other planets.

Q2. Match the following (with explanation):

A	B	Explanation
Inclined plane	Simple machine	Helps move objects easily up or down.
Solar system	Universe	Solar system is a part of the universe.
Vibrations	Sound	Sound is caused by vibrations.
Shadow	Light	Shadows form when light is blocked.
Pulley	Simple machine	Used to lift heavy loads.

Q3. Answer in one sentence (with explanation):

• What is circular motion?
  Moving in a circular path (e.g., fan blades).
• What is gravitational force?
  The pull Earth exerts on all objects.
• Give one example of a simple machine:
  Pulley – helps lift objects.
• What is a source of light?
  Anything that gives off light, like the Sun.
• Which planet is closest to the Sun?
  Mercury.

Q4. Answer the following:

1. Types of motion with examples:

• Linear motion: Car moving on a straight road.
• Circular motion: Ferris wheel spinning.
• Periodic motion: Pendulum swinging.

2. Different types of forces:

• Muscular force: Pushing a door.
• Gravitational force: Apple falling from tree.
• Magnetic force: Magnet attracting iron nails.
• Frictional force: Resists motion between surfaces.

3. Uses of magnets in daily life:

• Used in refrigerator doors.
• In speakers and microphones.
• Navigation using compasses.
• Electric motors and generators.

Q5. Draw and label (choose one):

1. The Solar System:
Draw the Sun in the center with planets (Mercury to Neptune) orbiting around it.

2. Lever diagram:
Show a bar on a support (fulcrum), with effort and load labeled.

Q6. Write short notes (choose one):

1. Work and Energy:
Work is done when force moves something. Energy is the capacity to do work.

2. Light and Shadow:
Light travels in a straight line. Shadows form when an object blocks the light.
