CBSE Class 6 Science Chapter 5 Case Study Questions – based on Measurement of Length and Motion – encourage students to think critically about how we measure things and understand movement. These questions are built around real-life scenarios to make the concepts of units of measurement, motion types, and measuring tools easier to grasp.
All questions follow the CBSE Class 6 competency-based format and are ideal for worksheets, tests, and concept reinforcement.
🔍Chapter Summary
This chapter introduces students to:
- The concept of measurement and its importance
- Standard units of length
- Tools like rulers, measuring tapes, and meter scales
- Different types of motion: rectilinear, circular, and periodic
- The importance of accuracy in measuring and avoiding errors
📝 Case Study Question 1
Read the passage and answer the following questions:
A group of students were asked to measure the length of their classroom. Ritu used a meter scale while Aryan used a measuring tape. However, their answers were slightly different. Their teacher explained that measurements should be done carefully by aligning the scale properly and avoiding parallax error.
Answer the following:
- Name two standard tools used to measure length.
- Why did Ritu and Aryan get slightly different readings?
- What is a parallax error?
- Suggest one way to reduce measurement errors.

Answer the following:
- What type of motion is shown by the student running straight?
- What type of motion is shown in the zig-zag path?
- What is the difference between distance and displacement?
- Why is it important to understand types of motion?
Answers:
- Rectilinear motion
- Irregular or random motion
- Distance is total path covered; displacement is the shortest straight-line distance
- To analyze movement in different situations like sports, vehicles, and machines
📝 Case Study Question 3
Read the passage and answer the following questions:
In a science exhibition, students showed a model of a pendulum. It moved back and forth at regular intervals. Another group showed a spinning top and explained its motion. The judges appreciated the creativity and understanding of different types of motion.
Answer the following:
- What type of motion does a pendulum show?
- What type of motion is seen in a spinning top?
- Name one more example of periodic motion.
- Why is it helpful to classify motions?
Answers:
- Periodic motion
- Circular motion
- Swing, heartbeat, clock pendulum (any one)
- It helps in understanding patterns of movement and designing tools or machines
