Answer 1

What Are Index Cards

Answer 2

Index cards are stiff pieces of paper, usually 3 x 5 inches. They can be blank or with lines on them.



For homework, you might:

* write a topic at the top (like "Water: Universal Solvent") and subtopic sunderneath (like "dissolves salt, dissolves sugar" etc.).

* write the title and author of a book at the top, and a quote from the book underneath.

* write the name of something ("hydrogen atom") and draw or glue a picture underneath.



Your assignment should explain what kind of cards to make. If it doesn't, ask your teacher for more detail.

Answer 3

An index card is heavy paper stock cut to a standard size. Index cards are often used for recording individual items of information that can then be easily rearranged and filed. The most common size in the United States and Russia is 3 by 5 inches (76 by 127 mm), hence the common name 3-by-5 card. Other sizes widely available include 4 by 6 inches (102 by 152 mm), 5 by 8 inches (127 by 203 mm) and ISO-size A7 (74 mm by 105 mm). Cards are available in blank, ruled and grid styles in a variety of colors. Special divider cards with protruding tabs and a variety of cases and trays to hold the cards are also sold by stationers.



As the name implies, index cards were widely used in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to create an index to large collections of documents. A major law firm, for example, might have a room full of metal cabinets with drawers designed to hold index cards. Clerks might fill out several cards for an individual document or legal case, allowing them to be filed alphabetically under a number of terms.
