CBSE Class 5 EVS Sunita Williams In Space Worksheet

Question 1) In the political map of India mark the states which lie on the coast line of India. You can use colours to fill it.
Answer: The coastal states of India are Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, and West Bengal. On an outline political map of India, these nine states bordering the Arabian Sea, the Indian Ocean, and the Bay of Bengal should be shaded or coloured.
In simple words: Nine Indian states touch the sea and form the coastline of the country.

Exam Tip: Remember that India has a coastline of over 7,500 km shared by 9 coastal states and 4 union territories.

Question 2) Imagine you are in a spaceship. Write about your experiences in the space ship.
Answer: 1) Everything inside the spaceship floats around freely, and we cannot stand or sit in one place without strapping ourselves down. Water does not stay in glasses in a puddle; instead, it floats around as small drops that we have to catch and swallow.
2) Looking out of the window, I can see the beautiful blue Earth spinning in the vast dark darkness of space, with no visible lines dividing countries.
In simple words: Life in space is completely weightless, and floating objects make everyday tasks very different from life on Earth.

Exam Tip: Mention key zero-gravity effects like floating, lack of water flow, and seeing the Earth from orbit to score full marks.

Question 3) Find the following words in the puzzle given below.
Words to find: ROCKET, PLANET, ASTRONAUT, MISSION, SKYLAB, TELESCOPE, GALAXY, GRAVITY, ECLIPSE, OXYGEN
Answer: - ROCKET: Found vertically/horizontally or diagonally in the word grid.
- PLANET: Located in the letter matrix.
- ASTRONAUT: Located across the rows/columns.
- MISSION: Visible in the 4th row (MEMISSON... or similar configuration in grid).
- SKYLAB: Located in the puzzle matrix.
- TELESCOPE: Located in the puzzle matrix.
- GALAXY: Located in the puzzle matrix.
- GRAVITY: Located near the bottom rows.
- ECLIPSE: Located in the puzzle matrix.
- OXYGEN: Located in the second last row.
In simple words: Search the grid row-by-row horizontally, vertically, and diagonally to circle each space-related word.

Exam Tip: Scan for the first and last letters of each target word to locate them quickly in word search puzzles.

Question 4) Conduct the following activity using empty plastic bottle, rubber bands and coins. Record your observations in the space given below.
Answer: When the bottle is held normally, the rubber band tied to the rim pulls the coins inside the bottle because of tension. However, when the bottle is released to fall freely, both the bottle and the coins fall together at the same rate due to gravity. As a result, the rubber band becomes slack, and there is no tension pulling the coins inside during the free fall.
In simple words: During free fall, objects experience weightlessness because everything falls together at the same acceleration.

Exam Tip: Connect this activity to the concept of microgravity experienced by astronauts in orbiting spacecraft.
