Chapter 1 Class 6 Curiosity - Mix Questions Worksheet 1 by teachoo Chapter: Chapter 1 Class 6 Science – Wonderful World of Science Name: _____________________________ School: _____________________________ Roll Number: _____________________________ 1. VSA: What is the difference between making a random guess and making a scientific "guess" (hypothesis)? 2. VSA: According to the chapter, if you get stuck on a scientific question, what is a good collaborative step to take? 3. VSA: Why is "analysing results" a crucial final step in an experiment? 4. VSA: The chapter mentions we can ask questions about things "beyond the Sun, the Moon, and the millions of stars". What does this tell you about the scope of science? 5. VSA: What does the chapter say is the very first thing you need to do to learn science well? 6. SA: Your friend says, "I'm not a scientist because I don't work in a lab." Using the ideas from the chapter, how would you explain to them that they might be using scientific thinking every day? 7. SA: The chapter compares science to an "unending jigsaw puzzle". Explain two things this comparison tells us about the nature of science. 8. SA: Imagine you followed the steps in Activity 1.1 and tried to solve a problem, but your first attempt failed. How does the chapter suggest you should proceed? 9. SA: Explain the role of curiosity in the scientific method. Where does it fit in the process, and why is it so important? 10. SA: Why is it important for a scientific experiment to be a "fair test"? (For example, when testing which paper airplane flies farthest, why should the design be the same?)

A scientific "guess" or hypothesis is not random; it's an educated guess based on an observation. It is also formed in a way that allows it to be tested. A random guess might have no basis and may not be testable. 2. The chapter suggests that if you get stuck, you should ask your friends to help you out, because science is often a collaborative effort. 3. "Analysing results" is a crucial final step because it's where you determine if your test actually answered your original question and if your guess was correct. 4. This tells you that the scope of science is limitless. It's not just about things on Earth but extends to the entire universe. 5. The chapter says to learn science well, "the first and foremost thing is to be curious and observe your surroundings keenly". 6. I would explain that you don't need a lab to be a scientist. A scientist is anyone who uses the scientific method. I would ask them if they've ever tried to figure out why a toy stopped working or why dal spilled from a cooker. In those moments, they were observing a problem, guessing the cause, and testing their guess—they were thinking like a scientist. 7. The "unending jigsaw puzzle" comparison tells us two things about science: • Science is cumulative and ever-growing: Every new discovery is like adding a new piece to the puzzle, building upon what we already know. • Science is self-correcting: Sometimes a new discovery shows us that an old "piece" was in the wrong place, meaning our previous understanding was incorrect and needs to change. 8. The chapter uses the example of a pen not working to explain this. If your first guess is proven wrong by your test, you shouldn't give up. The next step is to make another guess and then test that new guess. 9. Curiosity is the starting point of all science. It fits right at the beginning of the scientific method. It's the feeling of wonder that makes us observe things keenly and then ask questions like "how?" and "why?". It's important because without curiosity, we wouldn't have any questions to answer, and the whole process of scientific discovery would never begin. 10. A "fair test" is important to ensure that the results are reliable. To find out if the paper type affects the flight, everything else (the design, the throwing force) must be kept the same. If the designs were different, you wouldn't know if the plane flew farther because of the paper or because of the different design. A fair test
