1. Suggest two methods to find out wind direction at a given place.

(i) Take a piece of paper in your hand. Allow it to fall from your hand. It will flow in the direction in which wind is blowing.

(ii) You can also use a wind-pane which helps us to know the accurate wind direction.

2.State two experiences that made you think that air exerts pressure.

(i) Balloons and balls can be used only when they are inflated with air. When a balloon is overfilled with air it bursts due to excessive air pressure.

(ii) Compressed air is used in the brake system for stopping trains.

3. You want to buy a house. Would you like to buy a house having windows but no ventilators? Explain your answer.

No, a house which has no ventilators is not a safe or healthy house to live in. The air circulation is not there in such a house. So, it has no fresh air. Because warm air rises up and goes out through ventilators and fresh air comes in through windows.

4. Explain why holes are made in hanging banners and hoardings.

Air exerts pressure. Due to this pressure banners and hoarding flutter and torn when the wind is blowing fast. Holes are made in banners and hoardings so that wind passes through the holes and they do not become loose and fall down.
