The procedure of activity 3.2 Class 8 Science

·     At first, we take four containers and fill them with an equal amount of water say 100mL.

·     Now we take pieces of the same size cotton, silk, wool and nylon.

·     Now put these pieces of cotton, wool, silk and nylon respectively in containers A, B, C and D for five minutes.

·     After five minutes, take them out of the containers and spread them in the sunlight.

·     We observe the volume left in each container.

We observe that no water is left in container A and more water is left in container D.


Explanation of activity 3.2 Class 8 Science

Natural fibres like cotton, silk etc absorb more water than synthetic fibres like nylon and polyester.


Synthetic fibres are durable on exposure to water so they are used to make different things like wires, toys, and other types of equipment.


Natural fibres take more time to dry than synthetic fibres.
