Chapter 1: The Wonderful World of Science (NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Science)
Activity 1.1: Let us think and write (NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Science)
1. Write about a similar problem that you tried to solve.
Ans: You can write this answer this way.
One day, my toy car stopped moving. I had just played with it the day before, and it was working fine. I was curious to know what went wrong.
2. What steps did you take?
Ans: First, I checked if the car was switched on. It was. Then I guessed that maybe the batteries were dead. I opened the battery cover and saw that the batteries were old. I changed them with new ones, and the car started working again! If that didn’t work, I was going to check the wheels or the motor next.
Activity 1.2: Let us think and write (NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Science)
1. Describe a daily life situation where you think someone was following a scientific method.
Ans: One day, my mother saw that the rice was not cooking properly. She guessed that maybe there was not enough water in the pot. She opened the lid and checked. Yes, the water had dried up! Then she added some more water and kept it on the stove again. After some time, the rice was cooked nicely. She asked a question, made a guess, tested it, and solved the problem—just like in science.
Activity 1.3: Let us think and write (NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Science)
1. If you have to ask “Why?” about something, what would you ask about?
Ans: I would ask, “Why do stars twinkle at night?” I look at the sky and see them shining and blinking, and I really want to know why they don’t just shine steadily like bulbs. It makes me curious every time I see them.
2. Try to write down how you would attempt to find an answer to your question.
Ans: First, I would ask my teacher or parents if they know why stars twinkle. Then, I would look in my science book to see if it explains it. If I still want to know more, I would search for the answer on a children’s science website or watch a video about stars. I would try to understand what makes the stars look like they are blinking.

Activity 2.1: Let us explore and record (NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Science)
1. Plan a nature walk with your teacher to a park or a nearby forest.
Ans: If you have any idea about the nature walk plan, then you can answer this question by yourself. Otherwise, I am here to help you.
Nature Walk Plan
Where we will go: We will go to a nearby park or forest with our teacher. It is a clean and green place with many trees, birds, and animals.
Who will go: Our science teacher will take us. All students of our class will join. We may also invite a nature expert or an elder who knows about plants and animals.
When we will go: We will go in the morning when the weather is cool.
What we will carry: a notebook and pen, a water bottle, a cap or hat, and a magnifying glass or binoculars.
What we will do: Look at different types of plants and trees, Try to spot birds, butterflies, and monkeys. talk to our teacher and ask questions.
Rules to follow: Don’t touch or harm any plant or animal, don’t litter in the park, help each other, and stay together.
After the walk: we will return to school, share what we saw and learned with the class, and make a nature wall or chart with our notes and drawings.
2. While on the nature walk, observe different plants, insects, birds, and other animals. Also, note the weather conditions, whether it is hot, cold, windy, and so on.
Ans: You can write the answer to this question in this way. I am providing an answer format for this question.

2. Leaves are present on all plants
3. Green leaves
Differences:

2. Leaves arrangement and shape
3. Flowers
5. What are the similarities and differences among the animals that you have observed and recorded in Table 2.2?
Ans:
Similarities:
1. All animals need food to survive.
2. They all have specific habitats.
3. Each animal has a unique way of moving.
Differences:
1. They have different places where they live.
2. The legs of the animals are different.
Activity 2.2: Let us appreciate (NCERT Solutions for Class 6 Science)
1. Close your eyes for 30 seconds and think of one plant and one animal that you have closely observed and
appreciated very much.
Now each one of you can draw the plant and animal that you thought of on the blackboard.
What are your observations about the various plants and animals that have been drawn?
Ans:
Plant I thought of: Sunflower
Animal I thought of: Squirrel
You can draw the images of what you thought.
Observations about various plants and animals that have been drawn.
Plants:
Different shapes and sizes of leaves.
Some plants had bright flowers (like hibiscus and rose), while others were leafy.
Stem types varied — some were soft and green, while others were hard and woody.
A few drawings showed fruits growing on plants, showing how they are also sources of food.
Animals:
Movement styles differed — some animals fly (birds), some walk (dogs, cows), and some crawl (snakes).
Animals had different body parts — wings, tails, horns, beaks, etc.
Some animals were domestic (cow, dog, cat), and some were wild (lion, deer).
