Paheli had bought a new bottle of pickle from the market. She tried to open the metal cap to taste it but could not do so. She then took a bowl of hot water and immersed the upper end of the bottle in it for five minutes. She could easily open the bottle now. Can you give the reason for this?

A group of students took an old shoe box and covered it with a black paper from all sides. They fixed a source of light (a torch) at one end of the box by making a hole in it and made another hole on the other side to view the light. They placed a milk sample contained in a beaker/tumbler in the box as shown in the Figure. They were amazed to see that milk taken in the tumbler was illuminated. They tried the same activity by taking a salt solution but found that light simply passed through it ? (a) Explain why the milk sample was illuminated? Name the phenomenon involved. (b) Same results were not observed with a salt solution. Explain. (c) Can you suggest two more solutions which would show the same effect as shown by the milk solution?

Question Stimulus :- DIRECTIONS : Read the following passage carefully and answer the following questions How do we resist change? We tend to respond to change the same way we respond to anything we perceive as a threat: by flight or fight. Our first reaction is flight ­ we try to avoid change if we can. We do what futurist Faith Popcorn calls ‘cocooning’: We seal ourselves off from those around us and try to ignore what is happening. This can happen in the workplace just by being passive. We don’t volunteer for teams or committees; we don’t make suggestions, ask questions, or offer constructive criticism. But the changes ahead are inescapable. Those who “cocoon” themselves will be left behind. Even worse is to fight, to actively resist change. Resistance tactics might include negativity, destructive criticism, and even sabotage. Take a different approach to change. Rejecting both alternatives of flight or flight, we seek a better option ­­ one that neither avoids change nor resists it, but harnesses and guides it. Change can be the means to your goals, not a barrier to them. Both fight and flight are reactions to perceiving change as a threat. But if we can change our perceptions, we can avoid those reactions. An old proverb goes, “Every change brings opportunity.” In other words, we must learn to see change as a means of achieving your goals, not a barrier preventing us from reaching them. What will be a synonym of the word ‘barrier’?
