The NCERT chart groups instruments by how they make sound. Some instruments mainly keep rhythm, while others carry melody. A correct activity answer gives examples that match the family named in the question.

- Flute and violin can carry melody lines.
- Veena and sitar are string instruments played by plucking.

Jaltarang connects music with sound science. Students arrange bowls, add different water levels and gently strike each rim. Changing the water level changes the pitch students hear.
- Use five sturdy bowls, water and two pencils or wooden sticks.
- Keep the strike gentle so pitch is easier to compare.
- Arrange the bowls by sound to create a small tune.
