Read the following sentence
The author went around the school to observe how it functions. In the word ‘observe’, another small word is hidden. The word is ‘see’. Look at the word ‘chicken’. Let us write it as Chicken, and put together the letters in capital what do we get? HEN, So we have a shorter word ‘hen’ within the word ‘chicken’.

You have seen the picture of a kangaroo, haven’t you?
Have you seen its baby?
Where does the mother kangaroo carry its baby? in a pouch in its body.
‘Kangaroo words’ are like this animal. They are marsupial words that carry smaller versions of themselves (joey words) within their spellings. They are words that contain other smaller words within them that have the same meaning.

Look at the word ‘Exhilaration’ which means ‘to make someone feel very happy and excited’. Elation is a word that can be formed from this word. What does the word ‘elation’ mean?

Look at some other words too; regulate (rule), indolent (idle), encourage (urge), destruction (ruin), devilish (evil), and masculine (male).
Let’s see how good you are with kangaroo words, Can you spot the joey (baby kangaroo) word hidden in each of these words? Remember, the letters of the smaller words should occur in the same sequence as in the parent word, though they need not come consecutively.

Answer:
I walked down the long block, all the way to the comer. There I saw a red house, but the house was square, not round. It had a chimney and lots of lots of windows. I saw many other coloured houses but none of them was a found red house with no windows and no doors, a chimney on the top and a star in the middle, As I stood on the sidewalk feeling puzzled, a little white mail truck pulled up and a mail carrier poked out of the window. He thought I was lost. But I told him I was searching for a little round red house with no doors, a chimney on the top and a star in the middle. The mail carrier told me that he hadn’t seen a house like that before. Waving me goodbye he drove off down the roads.

I tromped around the next comer and down the block. None of them was a little round red house with no windows and no doors. I stopped again to think and looked up to see a police car. It pulled up alongside me and a police officer poked her head out of the window and asked me whether I was lost. I asked the officer about the round red house but she also hadn’t seen such a house before. Waving goodbye she drove off to the road. I had one more house to check and that was Mr. Fetzer’s house at the end of the block. I went to Mr. Fetzer’s bam and saw him picking apples into the boxes. He looked up and saw me . I told him that I was looking for a house and I described the house to him.

He smiled and told me that he remembered you searching for a similar house when you were just a little girl. He walked outside and pointed to his orchards, upon a little hill. He showed me the trees and asked me to run up there and take a look around and I could find what I was looking for. I stood under one of the apple trees and looked all around.

Dear Sam,
How are you? Hope you are doing good. How are all at home? I am writing this letter to tell you an important incident that occurred last month. One day I was feeling very bored. I went down to the kitchen to tell my mother about this. She suggested some activities which I could engage but still I was bored. My mother told me that she too was very bored when she was my age. Grandmother had sent her out to search for the strangest little house. So she told me to do the same. She told me to put on my raincoat, hat, scarf, mittens and boots and walk around the block to look for that little house. The house was a little round red house with no windows and no doors, a chimney on the top and a star in the middle. I found it interesting as I hadn’t seen such a house before. I walked down the long block and saw many houses. At last, I saw a red house but it had doors and windows. On the way I met a mail carrier and a police officer, they too hadn’t seen such an house. At last, I had one more house to check.

It was Mr Fetzer’s house. I walked slowly to Mr. Fetzer’s bam and peered inside. He was packing apples into boxes. He looked up and saw me and gave me a cup of apple cider to taste. I told him about the strange little house. He smiled and told me that he remembered my mother when she was just a little girl. She too was looking for the same house. He walked outside and pointed to his orchards and showed me some trees. I ran across the field and up the hill and stood under one of the apple trees and looked all around. The wind blew a red apple right off the tree and it landed at my feet. I picked it up and took a closer look. This was the house I had been looking for but I couldn’t find the star in the middle. I reached home and showed mother the apple. She smiled and cut the apple through its middle. There in the center was a star. How’s my story? Didn’t you find it interesting? Hope you enjoyed it. Convey my regards to all at home.

Lovingly your friend,

Dear Rachel,
Hope you are in good health. It’s been long since heard from you. Last week my son had complained to me about his boredom. I suggested to him many ways to get rid of his boredom. But he was not satisfied. At last, I thought of a plan. When I was a child I too was bored. My mother asked me to search for the strangest little house to overcome boredom. I asked him to search for a little round red house with no windows and doors, a chimney on the top and a star in the middle. He put on his raincoat, hat scarf, mittens, and his boots and set out to search for the house. He met a mail carrier and a policeman on the way and asked them about the round red house hut they told him that they hadn’t seen such an house.

At last, he went to Mr. Fetzer’s house. He was a farmer. My son asked Mr. Fetzer to help him to find out the little round red house with no windows and doors, a chimney at the top and a star in the middle. Mr. Fetzer understood what the house was. He advised the boy to run up his orchards and take a look around to find what he was looking for. He found the house beneath the apple trees. He reached home and showed me an apple. But still, he had a doubt. He didn’t know where the star was. I cut the apple in the middle to show him the star holding five brown seeds in the middle of the apple. I was happy that he found the house. I hope that he got rid of his boredom. Hope that you will reply me when you receive this letter.

Of daylong heat and fatigue from my visage
Wet clothes clung to my body like an infant
To its mother bosom; unsteady my gait
The dusty trees stood bathed in an instant
Dressed in washed green looked magnificent
The scented earth resplendent in dampened glory
sucked in dust giving respite to the travelers weary
To thank the rain God I looked up in the sky

Kerala State Syllabus 8th Standard Basic Science Solutions Chapter 9 Motion

We can state whether an object is in a state of rest or motion only with reference to another object. The object which is taken as reference is the reference body. Reference body is the object with respect to which the state of rest or motion of an object is described.

Distance and Displacement

If an object travels from initial position to final position through different routes the distance will not be equal. But if it travels through straight line the distance is called displacement. The distance has only magnitude. But displacement has both magnitude and direction.

While stating the displacement, it is necessary to indicate the direction along with the magnitude of the distance travelled. Such physical quantities having both magnitude and direction are referred to as vector quantities. Physical quantities of which the direction is not to be indicated, are scalar quantities When a body travels along a straight line in the same direction, the magnitude of its distance and displacement will be equal.

Kerala Syllabus 8th Standard Physics Notes Speed and Velocity

Speed is the distance travelled in unit time. Velocity is the displacement in unit time.

The unit of speed and velocity is metre/second (m/s)

Uniform speed and Non uniform speed

If a body in motion covers equal distance in equal intervals of time the body is said to have uniform speed. That is if a car travels 20 km in first 2 seconds, again travel 20 km in successive 2 seconds, the body is said to have uniform speed. But the body travels 20 km in first 2 seconds, 40 km in next 2 seconds and then travels 50 km in next 2 seconds the body is said to have non uniform speed.

The speed of a car in non uniform speed is different. So to find out the speed calculate the average speed

Uniform velocity and Non uniform velocity

A body has uniform velocity if it covers equal displacements in the same direction in equal intervals of time. But if it is not in equal velocity in equal interval it is in non uniform velocity.

Hss Live Guru 8th Physics Kerala Syllabus Acceleration

A body with a velocity of o m/s takes 5 seconds to rise the velocity to 5 m/s the change of velocity is 5 – o = 5 m/ s. The change is taken place in 5 sec. \(\frac{change of velocity}{time}\) the rate of change of velocity which is called acceleration.

Class 8 Physics Notes Kerala Syllabus Retardation

When the velocity of a body is decreasing the acceleration is negative. This type of acceleration is called retardation.

Carelessness of pedestrians is also one of the reasons for road accidents.
To reduce the accidents following precuations are to be taken.

• walk along the footpath only
• walk only along the right side of the road
• cross roads only at the zebra crossing.
• while walking along the road late in the evening or night avoid wearing black or dark coloured clothes.
• ATUL Pivot Point Calculator

What is the acceleration of a car which started from rest and acquired a velocity of 40 m/s in 8 s?
Answer:

Physics Notes Class 8 Kerala Syllabus Question 6.
A car covered the first 400 m distance with a speed of 8 m/s, the next 1200 111 with a speed 12 m/s and the last 360 m with a speed of 12 m/s. Calculate the average speed of the car.
Answer:
Average speed = \(\frac{Total distance travelled}{time taken to trvel the distance}\)
Time taken to travel the distance 400m = \(\frac{400}{8}\) = 50s
Time taken to travel the distance 1200m = \(\frac{1200}{10}\) = 120s
Time taken to travel the distance 360m = \(\frac{360}{12}\) = 30s
Total distance travelled = 400 + 1200 + 360 = 1960m
Total time to travel = 50 + 120 + 30 = 200s
Average speed=\(\frac{1960}{200}\)= 9.8 m/s

Physics Notes For Class 8 Kerala Syllabus Question 7.
Does a body have acceleration in the following situations? Why?

• body travelling along a straight line with uniform velocity.
• body travelling along a straight line with non-uniform velocity.
• body travelling along a circular path with uniform speed.
• body travelling along a circular path with non-uniform speed.

Answer:

• body travelling along a straight line with non-uniform velocity.
• body travelling along a circular path with non-uniform speed.

If an object should have acceleration it should be travelled in non uniform speed or in non uniform velocity.
Change in velocity time
Acceleration = \(\frac{change in velocity}{time}\)

Kerala State Syllabus 8th Standard Basic Science Solutions Chapter 4 Properties of Matter

Properties of Matter Questions and Answers

Properties of matter

The matter commonly seen in three states, solid, liquid and gas. Matter has volume and mass. Matter is anything which occupies space and has volume. The solid has a definite shape. But liquid occupy the shape of the container. Gas has no definite shape.

Properties Of Matter Class 8 Questions And Answers Question 1.
explain the peculiarities of materials.
Answer:
Tiny particles of matter

The substances are made up of many tiny particles which cannot be seen by naked eye. Even though we cannot see the tiny particles of sugar in sugar solution, we can understand that tiny particles of sugar is dissolved in the solution while we taste it.

All the substances are made up of tiny particles which cannot be seen by naked eye and these tiny particles bear all the properties of the substances.

Properties Of Matter Class 8 Notes Pdf Kerala Syllabus Question 2.
identify and picturise the arrangement of particles in different states of matter.
Answer:
Arrangements of particles in different states of matter

The particles of solids are very close to each other. The freedom of movement of particles is limited. The attractive force between particles is very high.

The particles of liquid are relatively further apart and have more freedom for movement than in the solid state. The attractive force is less than that of solid state. The particles in gaseous state remains far away from one another and the attractive force is very low.

Change of State

When ice is heated, it changes into water and when water is further heated it boils and changes into steam.

Properties Of Matter Questions And Answers Kerala Syllabus Question 3.
Which form of energy is responsible for the change of state here?
Answer:
Here the form of energy is responsible for the change of state is heat.

When heat is absorbed energy of the particles, distance between the particles, movement of the particles are increased. The attractive force between particles is decreased.

Some substances, when heated, change directly into gas without forming liquid. This phenomenon is sublimation.

Diffusion of substances in different states

The fragrance of incense stick fills the room when the stick is lit. The fragrance spreads because its particles are spread in air. If a drop of ink is added carefully into the water in a beaker, the ink spread in the water.

The spontaneous mixing of different particles having freedom of movement is Diffusion.

Hsslive Guru 8th Class Chemistry Kerala Syllabus Question 4.
Distinguish pure substances and mixtures and tabulate them?
Answer:
Pure Substances and Mixtures
Depending on their nature, substances can be classified into two.
1. Pure Substances
2. Mixtures Materials made of particles of identical nature are called pure substances
Eg: Water, common salt, sugar

The substances made of particles of different nature are called mixtures.
Eg: Salt solution, sugar solution

Separating the Components of a Mixture.

Most of the substances found in nature are mixtures. We use different methods of separation of components in rice mixed with stones, tea mixed with tea dreg, mixture of methanol and ethanol.

Distillation

Distillation is used for separation of components in salt solution.

When one component of the mixture is volatile and the others do not vapourise under the same condition, they can be separated by distillation. More over components of a mixture possess a large difference in their boiling points, they can be separated by distillation. Eg:Mixture of water (boiling point ioo°C)and acetone(56°C)

Fractional Distillation

If the boiling points of components have very small differences, fractional distillation is to be used to separate them.

Eg: Mixture of Ethanol (boiling point 78°C) and methanol (boiling point 65°C).

When vapours of the mixture pass through the fractionating column, repeated. liquefaction and vapourisation take place. Subsequently, the vapours of low boiling methanol enter the condenser from the fractionating column, condense to liquid and get collected in the round bottomed flask first. Similarly, ethanol with higher boiling point can be collected later in another round bottomed flask.

Separating Funnel

Separating funnel is an apparatus used for separating immiscible liquids from their mixture.

We can use separating funnel to separate the mixture of water and kerosene which are having difference in density.

Sublimation

This method can be used to separate the components which have the property of sublimation from the mixture. This method can be used for separating the components of a mixture of ammonium chloride and sand.

Centrifugation

This is a method for separating components from a mixture, based on the difference in the mass of particles. This method is used in clinical laboratories to separate blood cells from blood samples and also for separation of butter from curd.

In order to separate insoluble particles in a liquid mixture on the basis of their mass difference, centrifuge is used. The process is known as centrifugation.

Chromatography

Chromatography is the method used to separate more than one solute dissolved in the same solvent. This method was first employed for separating coloured substances and hence this process came to be known as Chromatography. Chromatography is employed to separate components from dyes and to separate poisonous substances mixed with blood.

John deposited Rs 2500 on 1st January in a co-operative bank. Bank computes compound interest half yearly. Annual interest rate is 6%. Again he deposited Rs 2500 on 1st July? How much amount he will have in his account at the end of the year?
Solution:
Amount John deposits on 1st January = Rs.2500
Principal after the half year up to July
1 st = 2500 (1 + \(\frac{3}{100}\))
= 2500 × \(\frac{103}{100}\)
= Rs.2575
Amount deposited in July 1st
= Rs 2500
Principal after July 1st= 2575 + 2500 = 5075
Amount he gets at the end of the year 3
= 5075 × (1 + \(\frac{3}{100}\))
= 5075 × \(\frac{103}{100}\)
= Rs 5227.25

Nirmala deposited Rs. 20,000 in a bank where compound interest of rate 7% is computed annually Rs. 5000 was with drawn after one year. How much amount she will get after 2 years.
Solution:
Amount deposited in the bank = Rs. 2000
Rate of interest = 7%
principal after one year
= 20000 + [20000 × \(\frac{7}{100}\)] = 20000 + 1400 = 21400
Amount withdrawn after one year = Rs. 5000 .
Principal for the 2-nd year
= 21400 – 5000 = Rs. 16400
Amount she gets after 2 years
= 16400 + [16400 × \(\frac{7}{100}\)] = 16400 + 1148
= Rs. 17548

Question 2.
Aswathy deposited Rs. 10,000 in a bank where compound interest is calculated at the rate of 10%. Rs.5000 was deposited in the beginning of the 2-nd year and Rs.5000 in the beginning of the 3-rd year. How much amount she gets after 3 years?
Solution:
Amount deposited in the first year = Rs. 10,000
rate of interest = 10%
Amount at the end of first year
= 10000 + [10000 × \(\frac{10}{100}\)] = 10000 + 1000 = Rs. 11000
Principal’for the 2-nd year
= 11000 + 5000 = Rs. 16000
Amount at the end of the 2-nd year
= 16000 + [16000 × \(\frac{10}{100}\)] = 16000 + 1600 = Rs. 17600
Principal for the 3-rd year
= 17600 + 5000 = Rs.22600
Amount at the end of 3-rd year
= 22600 + [22600 × \(\frac{10}{100}\)] = 22600 + 2260 = Rs. 24860
Amount Aswathy will get at the end of 3-rd year = Rs. 24860

Solution:
Capital for first year = Rs. 20,000
Rate of interest = 11 %
Interest of first half year
= 20000 × \(\frac{11}{100}\) × \(\frac{1}{2}\) = Rs. 1100
Principal of 2-nd half year
= 20000 + 1100
= 21100
Interest of the 2-nd half year
= 21100 × \(\frac{11}{100}\) × \(\frac{1}{2}\) = Rs. 1160.5
Amount she gets after one year
= 21000 + 1160.5
= Rs. 22160.5

Question 5.
The price of a car is rupees 5 lakh and it depreciates by 6% every year. What would be the price after 2 year ?
Solution:
Here the price every year is 6% less than the previous years price.
First year’s price = Rs 500000
First year’s depreciation
= 500000 × \(\frac{6}{100}\) = Rs. 300000
Second year’s price = Rs 4,70000
Second year’s depreciation
= 470000 × \(\frac{6}{100}\) = 28200
The price of the car after 2 years
= Rs 4,70,000 – Rs 28200
= Rs 441800

Question 6.
The simple interest of an amount is Rs 50 for two years and the compound interest is Rs 55. The rate of interest is same in both the cases. Find the rate? Find the amount?

= 55 – 25 = Rs 30
Interest for Rs 25 = Rs 5

Question 7.
A company which manufactures computers increases its production by 10% every year. In 2009 the company produced 80,000 computers. How many computers would it produced in 2011?
Solution:
Here the number of computers produced every year is 10% more than the number produced the year before. So starting from 80,000. We have to find the number of computers produced every year after that for two years.
Number of computers produced in 2009 = 80,000
Number of computers produced in 2010
= 80000 + 80000 × \(\frac{10}{100}\)
= 80000 + 8000 = 88000
Number of computers produced in 2011
= 88000 + 88000 × \(\frac{10}{100}\)
= 88000 + 8800 = 96800

Question 8.
Ramu borrowed Rs 50,000 from a bank at the interest rate of 10% for agricultural purpose. The interest rate will be reduced by 5% if he repays the amount properly within 2 years. If he fails to repay in time there will be fine as 1%. Ramu could not repay the amount in time. How much amount Ramu repair?
Solution:
Amount borrowed =Rs 50,000
Rate of interest = 10%
Interest rate including fine = 10 + 1=11%
Amount to be repaid
= 50000 + [50000 × \(\frac{11}{100}\) × 2]
= 50000 + 11000 = 61000
= Rs 61000

Question 9.
Raju has Rs 800 with him. He spent 25 % of it. How much amount left with him?
Solution:

Amount left with Raju = 800 – 200
= Rs 600

Question 10.
Balu and Ramu decided to borrow Rs 15000 each for a joint business. Balu borrowed Rs 15000 from a financier Who imputes Rs 5 per month for Rs 100 as interest. Ramu borrowed Rs 15000 from a bank where compound interest of 12 % is computed. How much money both of them have to repay after 2 years?
Solution:
Interest Balu has to pay after 2 years
= 15000 × \(\frac{60}{100}\) × 2 = Rs. 18000
(Interest for Rs 100 per month in Rs 5. Interest for Rs 100 in an year = 5 × 12
= Rs. 60.
The rate of interest = 60%)
Amount Balu has to repay after 2 years
= 15000 + 18000
= Rs 33000
In the case of Ramu interest is computed as compound interest.
Principal for first year = Rs 15000
Interest for 1 st year
= 15000 × \(\frac{12}{100}\) × 1 = Rs 1800
Principal for 2 nd year
= 15000 + 1800
= Rs 16800
Interest for the second year = 16800 × \(\frac{12}{100}\) × 1 = Rs. 2018
Amount Ramu has to repay
= 16800 + 2018
= Rs 18816

Question 11.
The population of Kerala increases by 3% every year. The current population is 5 crore. What would he the population after 2 years.
Solution:
Current population = 50000000
Percentages increase in every year = 3%
The population in Kerala after 3 year
= 50000000 [1 + \(\frac{3}{10}\)]²
= 50000000 × \(\frac{(103)^{2}}{10000}\)
= 530,45000

Question 12.
A financial company claims that it charges only 20% interest on loans. But if a person takes out a loan of Rs 100 he would get only Rs 80, after subtracting the annual interest of rupees 20 at the outset. And he has to pay back Its 100 after 1 year. How much is their real interest?
Solution:
A borrower gets only Rs 80 when he borrows Rs 100
He has to repay Rs 100.
ie. Rs.20 as additional.
Real interest
\(\frac{20}{80}\) × 100 = 25%

Kerala State Syllabus 8th Standard Basic Science Solutions Chapter 8 Measurements and Units

In olden days different scales were used for measuring length in different countries. Vaara, One forearm (muzham) etc are some of such units. These units were not accurate. For solving this problem a standard scale of a definite length has been recognised world widw for measuring length. This standard scale is the unut of length. The basic unit of length is metre (m).

Smaller units of length

Examine the metre scale. You can see small measurements on it. These are centimetre (cm) and millimetre(mm)
1m = 1oocm 1cm=1omm
The smallest length that can be accurately measured using a metre scale is its least count.

Thickness of paper

We cannot measure the thickness of the paper even with these small units. Take too sheets of paper and pile it up to make a bundle. Measure the height of this bundle using a scale. If it falls in between two markings, make suitable changes in the number of sheets. Then measure its height. By dividing this height by the number of sheets, we will get the thickness of a sheet of paper.

Similarly to find out the thickness of thin wire roll it on a pencil and mea-sure the length of ten rolls Then divide it by 10.

Length of a curved line

To measure the length of the curved line put a thread on it and measure its length using a meter scale

Distance of a sphere

A ball kept in between two wooden blocks, whose diameter is to be measured. Then we will get its diameter.

Various measurements of length

The basic unit of length is metre. Smaller units like centimetre (cm), millimetre (mm), micrometre (micron – ™ nano-metre (nm) are also used in certain situa-tions for convenience. We use a bigger unit like kilometre (km) to measure the distance between two places. Units like astronomical unit (AU), light year (ly) are also used to measuring distance to planets or stars.

Measurement And Units In Physics Class 8 Questions And Answers Mass

Mass is the measure of quantity of matter contained in it. The basic unit of mass is kilogram(kg).

Except kilogram, milligram(mg), gram(g), quintal, tonne are also the units of mass.

Measurement And Units In Physics Class 8 Kerala Syllabus  Time
The symbol is s.
60s = iminute; 6ominute = 1 hour One second is 1/ 86400 part of an average solar day.

Fundamental units

There are some quantities which are not related to one another and cannot be expressed using other quantities. Such quantities are fundamental quantities. The units of the fundamental quantities are the Fundamental Units. The system based on these fundamental units is the | International System of Units. Its short form is SI Units.

Measurements And Units Class 8 Notes Kerala Syllabus Derived unit

Units which are expressed in terms of fundamental units or those units which are dependent on fundamental units are derived units.
Ex. Area = length x breadth

Unit of area = unit of length x unit of breadth = m xm = m².

Salient features of SI units

1. Unified units
2.  Internationally accepted
3.  Adequate to express all physical quantities.

Measurement And Units In Physics Class 8 Notes Density and volume

The space occupied by a body is referred to as its volume.
The unit of volume is cubic metre (m³)

Mass per unit volume of substance is its density. Density = mass/volume Unit of density = unit of mass/unit of volume = kg/m³

The rules to be followed while writing units

We have to observe certain rules according to international standards while using these units and their symbols. They are given below:

1. The symbols of units are normally written using small letters in the English alphabet, eg. m (metre), s (second), kg (kilogram)
2. But there are certain occasions on which capital letters of the English alphabet are used as symbols. The units named after persons are written like this.
3. While writing the names of units never use capital letters, eg. kelvin (correct) Kelvin (wrong) newton (correct) Newton (wrong)
4. Never use the plural form for symbols, eg. 10 kg (correct) 10 kgs (wrong) 75 cm (correct) 75 cms (wrong)
5. Never use full stop or comma after a
   symbol except at the end of a sentence. eg. 75 cm is the length of a table, (correct) 75 cm. is the length of a table, (wrong),
6. While writing derived units a slash (/) is used to denote division. But never use more than one slash in one derived unit. eg. m/s1 (correct) m/s/ s (wrong)
7. When a derived unit is expressed as the product of other units use a dot or a space between them. eg. N.m or Nm
8. 8. Do not mix the name of a unit with the symbol.
9. While writing units along with a value, there must be single space between them.
10. Never use more than one unit to express a physical quantity.
