BIOLOGY Prepare an investigatory project on any one of the topic related with Biology. The project material can be downloaded through net, books or any other source of information. The project should contain at least 20 pages. Coloured diagram, flow charts, survey papers or any other primary or secondary data’s will helps you in preparing a good project.
CHEMISTRY Value Based Questions 1. A group of students, while on excursion trip is camping in the hills. One morning, they find
themselves engulfed in a thick blanket of snow. One of the senior member of the group suggests to sprinkle common salt on the ice slit covering the pavement.
Answer the following questions: (i) What is the purpose of sprinkling common salt on ice slit? (ii) Can we use any other substance in place of common salt? (iii) What values are associated with the phenomenon? 2. Purification of drinking water is a big problem. In your locality, vendors of various companies are
promoting RO units for purification of water for domestic use irrespective of whether it is required or not.
Answer the following questions: (i) What is the meaning of RO? (ii) Would you recomend the installation of RO units in all the areas? (iii) Support your views with reasons. 3. Kailash goes to the market to purchase battery for his car. Two types of batteries are shown to him,
one with cadmium plates which is relatively more costlier while the other one with lead plates which is cheaper. The shopkeeper advises him to go for cadmium plate battery instead of lead plate battery.
Answer the following questions: (i) As a chemistry student, do you agree with shopkeeper’s advise? (ii) Give two reasons to support his advise. (iii) What are the values associated with his advise? 4. During the construction of some public building, the contractor intends to fix iron frames for
windows and railings to reduce the cost of construction. After due considerations, it is finally recommended to use aluminium frames for windows and steel railings instead of iron.
Answer the following questions: (i) As a chemist, do you agree with the new recommendations. (ii) Give two reasons for your choice. (iii) What values are associated with the decision? 5. A boy baths in the first shower of rainfall during rainy season and his body gets yellowish brown
colour patches on the whole body for which he was medicated. Answer the following questions:
(i) Why the skin of the boy got yellowish brown patches. (ii) As a student of chemistry what do you think could be reason and the term you would use to explain it? (iii) Which values are promoted through this activity? (iv) Suggest two activities to promote these values. 6. The oxygen-ozone balance in atmosphere is maintained by continuous formation and dissociation of
ozone. The uv light needed for this purpose is absorbed from sunlight. In this way ozone layer is helpful in protecting the earth from uv rays which can otherwise cause variety of skin problems and damage the DNA mutation. The pioneer work of researchers discovered the depletion of ozone layer.
Answer the following questions: (i) As a student of chemistry what do you think could be reason for the depletion of the ozone layer? Explain it. (ii) What do you think, is it a hoax or a matter of deeper concern? (iii) Which value is promoted through this activity? What are the disadvantages and challenges related to violation of this value? (iv) Suggest two activities to promote these values. 7. Cadmium ion is highly toxic. Why is cadmium ion likely to be present in water from galvanized iron
pipes? Hint: Cadmium occurs along with zinc in zinc sulphide ores. 8. Many biologically important molecules such as haemoglobin and vitamin B12 are complexes of
transition metals. Molybdenum is the only element of the second and third transition series that is essential for plant and animal life. Molybdenum is available to organisms in the form of molybdate ion, MoO4
2–. Answer the following questions: (i) Name the transition metals present in haemoglobin and vitamin B12. (ii) What are the oxidation states of these metals in their complex molecules?

is ready to buy against a specific price demand is not. 3. Demand for a commodity refers to the entire demand schedule. 4. It is quantity demanded (and not demand for a commodity) that changes

elasticity of demand also remains constant, no matter what the change in price is.

demand.

infinity even when price remains constant.
