Class 6 Materials Around Us practice question with explanation
Learn the pattern
Transparent materials let you see clearly through them. Translucent materials let some light through without a clear view; opaque materials block the view.
Which of the following materials is transparent?
- Wood
- Glass
- Cardboard
- Stone
Show the answer and reasoning
The answer is glass: ordinary clear glass lets light pass through and objects can be seen clearly. Wood, cardboard and stone are opaque.
Common mistake: Translucent is not the same as transparent. For example, frosted glass does not give a clear view.

School concepts and foundation extensions
Foundation practice includes application and multi-step reasoning beyond straightforward recall. Match the difficulty to the learner’s current understanding.
Coverage varies by school and board. This is not a claim of complete CBSE or ICSE syllabus alignment.
For Class 6, Grade 6, CBSE and ICSE learners
These concepts overlap widely taught Class 6 and Grade 6 Chemistry topics, including learning found in CBSE and ICSE schools. GoAtIt is an independent foundation resource, not an official or board-endorsed syllabus guide, so families should use it alongside their child’s current school chapter.
How the Materials Around Us practice works
Choose a chapter paper or build a custom set for one concept. After the session, review incorrect answers and the worked reasoning, then try the chapter again with the question order shuffled. The material is intended as age-appropriate foundation practice alongside school learning, not as the Class 11 or Class 12 JEE syllabus.
