Parts of the ear
The outer ear collects sounds. It includes the pinna and the ear canal. The pinna looks like a funnel that collects or catches sound waves. It is also called auricle. The ear canal is the passageway of sound waves to the middle ear.
The middle ear includes the eardrum and three small bones – hammer, anvil, and stirrup. The eardrum vibrates as soon as it receives sound waves. The three small bones also vibrate when the eardrum vibrates. The middle ear takes the sound collected by the outer ear. The sound is then delivered to the inner ear.
The inner ear is the innermost part of the ear. It looks like the shell of a snail. It includes the cochlea, the YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
Page 12
semicircular canal, and the auditory nerves send them to the brain, which interprets the messages. The semicircular canal is attached to the cochlea. It helps in maintaining your balance (Cabrido&Sasis, 2011).

A balanced diet is when you eat a wide variety of foods in the right proportions. Eating the right amount of food helps us to have a healthy body weight A balanced diet includes… • Grains (e.g. bread, pasta, rice) 30% • Vegetables (e.g. broccoli, carrots, potatoes) 30% • Fruit (e.g. apples, grapes, bananas) 20% • Protein (e.g. lean / not fatty meat, fish, eggs, pulses) 20% It can also include a small portion of… • Dairy (e.g. milk, cheese, yoghurt) and healthy oils (e.g. olive or sunflower oil) And as an occasional treat… • Food and drinks that are high in fat or sugar (e.g. burgers & sausages and cakes & biscuits/cookies) What happens if we eat too much, or too little of these food groups? This is called an unbalanced diet. For example, eating a diet too heavy in grains, such as rice, bread and pasta, with little YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
Page 34
protein is unbalanced. Or if we don’t eat enough vegetables or fruit then our diet is also considered out of balance.
Eating too much or too little of certain food groups can cause many serious problems to the human body including heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, tooth decay and even some cancers.

Lesson 1
Plants and Its Parts
Plants are an important part of human life and vegetation as well. They are very beneficial to us and give us a lot of things. We are surrounded by plants, but have you ever stopped to notice the parts of a plant? All parts of plants are important and carry out different functions. All of them come together to perform their respective functions for the healthy life of the plant. We will dig deep into the parts of plants and their functions.
YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
Page 101
Parts of Plants A plant is made up of primarily four parts. They are – 1. Roots 2. Stem 3. Leaf 4. Flower Functions of Parts of Plants Roots A plant has roots that grow in the ground. This underground part plays a very important role in pulling the water and minerals so they can reach the plant. Furthermore, it also expands within the ground so that for better water absorption the water increases. Roots also play the role of anchors which helps in creating better stability. In addition, the roots also fuse the development YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
Page 102
of the plant and stock reserve food material. They also store food that binds the soil together.
Stem The stem is the part that stays above the ground. A stem usually bears leaves, fruits plus flowers. It distributes the nutrients and minerals all the way from the plant to the leaves. Furthermore, the stem is the support system of the plant.
Moreover, it shields the plant and assists in asexual dissemination. The thorns of a stem protect it from animals as well. The growth of a stem takes place upwards allowing leaves to reach the sunlight for photosynthesis.
Leaf It is safe to say that a leaf is one of the most important parts of a plant. It contains chlorophyll which assists the plants YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
Page 103
in preparation for food. Moreover, the veins of a leaf allow the flowing of nutrients plus water.
A leaf has three basic parts which are petiole, leaf base and lamina. The leaves of the plant help in photosynthesis. Moreover, they help in removing any excess water via stomata. In short, it is for transpiration.
Moreover, some plants have leaves which also assist in the process of reproduction. Thus, leaves perform a number of functions, which helps the plant grow healthier.
Flower The bright and beautiful part of the plant which you see is the flower. They play a role in making food. A flower has female as well as male parts. Both of these work collectively to fertilize the plant so it can produce seeds. YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
Page 104
A flower consists of four basic parts, which are petals, sepals, stamens, and pistil. The petals attract insects and birds in order to pollinate them. After that, the flower buds are protected by sepals. Similarly, the stamens which are the male part and the pistil that is the female part help in the reproduction system.

Roots Look Different but Do the Same Work
Different kinds of roots • The roots of a maize plant, a millet plant and a rice plant are alike. • The roots of a mango tree, an orange tree and a lemon tree are alike. • The roots of maize, millet and rice are not like those of the mango tree, the orange tree and the lemon tree. • Different plants have different roots.
YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
Page 107
Fibrous roots Some plants have small, thin roots, all of the same length. • These roots form a tuft, as for instance the roots of onion, rice, millet, maize.
Rice has fibrous roots • A plant that has many small roots of the same length, the same thickness, the same shape, has fibrous roots.
YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
Page 108
Creeping roots Some plants have roots that are shallow and long. • Creeping roots do not go deep into the soil. • These roots go a long way from the base of the plant. They cover a large area. They have to find in a small depth of earth the food necessary for the life of the plant. Many trees have creeping roots.
• A plant that has shallow, very long roots has creeping roots.
YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
Page 109
Tap-roots Some plants have only one root, very thick, deep, straight, called a tap- root. • Smaller roots grow on this thick root; they are called rootless. • Tap-roots go deep into the soil. They cannot penetrate soil that is too hard.
YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
Page 110
Tuberous roots Some plants have very thick roots. • These roots store up food. • These roots are thick because they have taken up a lot of food from the soil. The food is stored up in order to feed the whole plant. The plant is said to have built up reserves.
• A plant that stores up reserves in thick roots has tuberous roots. YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
Page 111
Adventitious roots In some plants roots start from the stem above the soil, that is, above the collar, and afterwards go down into the earth. • Adventitious roots grow above the collar. For example, mangrove, bamboo, maize and rice all have adventitious roots.
YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
Page 112
A rice plant • Soil put around the collar helps adventitious roots to grow; the plant is earthed up. • A plant with roots on the stems has adventitious roots.
Earthing up encourages adventitious roots to develop

Lesson 3-
Stem Look Different
But Do the Same Work
The stem The stem is another main part of a plant. Roots, branches and sometimes leaves are attached to the stem. Types of stem There are two classes of stems. They are herbaceous stems and woody stems.
YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
Page 115
Herbaceous stems Plants with herbaceous stems are only supported by water in the stem. When there is little water in the plant, the plant bends towards the ground, Garden vegetables have this type of stem. There are four types of herbaceous stems. These are climbers, bulbs, tubers and runners. Herbaceous stems are thin, soft and green in colour except those that grow underground, like potato and onion stems. They live through only one growing season. Plants with herbaceous stems are also known as herbs.
YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
Page 116
Woody stems Woody stems are taller, thicker and harder than herbaceous stems. When they are fully grown, there is making of bark. Plants with woody stems may be trees or shrubs. A tree will usually have a thick main stem, known as a trunk. The braches start forming some distance above the ground. In a shrub, there are many thin stems, which have many branches. Trees grow taller than shrubs.

Matter Takes Up Space
Get any book. Hold it in your hand. Now place the book on your desk. Mark with a chalk where the book is. Is the book heavy or light? Does the book occupy a space on the desk?
Anything that occupies space is matter. Matter has weight and has mass. Mass is the amount of matter in a thing or object. Stay in your place. Ask a seatmate to mark a space where you are. Get away from your place. See the chalk mark. That is the space you occupy. Ask a classmate to tell if you are heavy, light or just right in weight. The girl is holding her teddy bear. Does her teddy bear have weight? Does it occupy space? The teddy bear has weight. It occupies. It has mass.

LIGHT AND HEAT
Page 144
Lesson1
Where Do We Get Light?
Light is the energy that make you see. Without light, you cannot see. Where does light come from?
Do you know what the Earth’s main source of light is? Yes, it is the Sun. The sun is the main source of light on earth. A place gets bright when the sun shines. What part of your house receives sunlight? Does the place look bright? Do you like places with sunlight? What else gives light? Have you seen a full moon? Is the moon’s light as bright as the sun’s? The sun shines on everything. The sun shines on moon. The moon receives the sun’s light. When our part of the Earth moves away from the sun’s light, it becomes dark. The moon reflects back to Earth the light it receives from the sun. The moon’s light is not as bright as the sun’s light. YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
Page 145
What else gives light? A burning fuel gives light. Energy is stored in the fuel. The energy gives light. The energy is in electricity. The electricity goes to the bulb. The bulb gives light The energy is in the battery. The bulb of the flashlight gives light. Do you know what to do to have light? The scouts do! Rub two stones continuously.
A spark comes out. Dry leaves
and twigs catch the fire. Now you have a burning fuel. A burning fuel gives light. Without light from the sun, the world would be in darkness. Plants wouldn’t grow and no other life would exist on Earth. The sun gives us energy to survive. Light makes up only a small fraction of the energy that comes to us from the sun.

Lesson
2
LIGHT GOES THROUGH SOME OBJECTS
Materials like air, water, and clear glass are called transparent. When light encounters transparent materials, almost all of it passes directly through them. Glass, for example, is transparent to all visible light. The color of a transparent object depends on the color of light it transmits. If green light passes through a transparent object, the YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
Page 154
emerging light is green; similarly, if red light passes through a transparent object, the emerging light is red.
Materials like frosted glass and some plastics are called translucent. When light strikes translucent materials, only some of the light passes through them. The light does not pass directly through the materials. It changes direction many times and is scattered as it passes through. Therefore, we cannot see clearly through them; objects on the other side of a translucent object appear fuzzy and unclear. Because translucent objects are semi-transparent, some ultraviolet rays can go through them. This is why a person behind a translucent object can get a sunburn on a sunny day.
Most materials are opaque. When light strikes an opaque object none of it passes through. Most of the light is either reflected by the object or absorbed and converted to heat. YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
Page 155
Materials such as wood, stone, and metals are opaque to visible light.

WHERE DO WE GET HEAT?
Go near a burning fuel. Do you feel warm? The warmth that you feel is heat. Does this light give heat? Hold your hand over a burning candle. How long can you hold it? Did you feel the warmth? The warmth that you feel is heat. Heat feels hot. Does this light give heat? Some places have cold weather. The people need heat. They burn wood and charcoal. They feel warm. They got the heat they need. Heat is used in other ways. We need heat to cook our food. We used gas stove or electric stove to cook our food, flat iron to iron our clothes, microwave oven to warm our food, bread toaster to toast our bread and others.
YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL

Lesson 4-
HEAT MOVES
Throughout the universe, it’s natural for energy to flow from one place to another. And unless people interfere, thermal energy — or heat — naturally flows in one direction only: from hot toward cold. Heat moves naturally by any of three means. The processes are known as conduction, convection and radiation. Sometimes more than one may occur at the same time. Some of the most easily understood examples of heat flow occur in your kitchen.
Conduction Put a pan on a stovetop and turn on the heat. The metal sitting over the burner will be the first part of the pan to get hot. Atoms in the pan’s bottom will start to vibrate faster as they YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
Page 163
warm. They also vibrate farther back and forth from their average position. As they bump into their neighbors, they share with that neighbor some of their energy. (Think of this as a very tiny version of a cue ball slamming into other balls during a game of billiards. The target balls, previously sitting still, gain some of the cue ball’s energy and move.)
Convection Convection occurs when a material is free to move, such as a liquid or a gas. Again, consider a pan on the stove. Put water YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
Page 164
in the pan, then turn on the heat. As the pan gets hot, some of that heat transfers to the molecules of water sitting on the bottom of the pan via conduction. That speeds up the motion of those water molecules — they are warming. Lava lamps illustrate heat transfer via convection: Waxy blobs get warmed at the base and expand. This makes them less dense, so they rise to the top. There, they give off their heat, cool and then sink to complete the circulation.
As the water warms, it now begins to expand. That makes it less dense. It rises above denser water, carrying away heat from the bottom of the pan. Cooler water flows down to take its place next to the hot bottom of the pan. As this water warms, it expands and rises, ferrying its newly-gained energy with it. In short order, a circular flow of rising warm water and
YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
Page 165
falling cooler water sets up. This circular pattern of heat transfer is known as convection. It’s also what largely warms food in an oven. Air that’s warmed by a heating element or gas flames at the top or bottom of the oven carries that heat to the central zone where the food sits.
Radiation The third type of energy transfer is in some ways the most unusual. It can move through materials — or in the absence of them. This is radiation. Radiation, such as the electromagnetic energy spewing from the sun (seen here at two ultraviolet wavelengths) is the only type of energy transfer that works across empty space. NASA YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
Page 166
Consider visible light, a form of radiation. It passes through some types of glass and plastic. X-rays, another form of radiation, readily pass through flesh but are largely blocked by bone. Radio waves pass through the walls of your home to reach the antenna on your stereo. Infrared radiation, or heat, passes through the air from fireplaces and light bulbs. But unlike conduction and convection, radiation doesn’t require a material to transfer its energy. Light, X-rays, infrared waves and radio waves all travel to Earth from the far reaches of the universe. Those forms of radiation will pass through plenty of empty space along the way. X-rays, visible light, infrared radiation, radio waves are all different forms of electromagnetic radiation. Each type of radiation falls into a particular band of wavelengths. Those types differ in the amount of energy they have. In general, the
YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
Page 167
longer the wavelength, the lower the frequency of a particular type of radiation and the less energy it will carry. To complicate things, it’s important to note that more than one form of heat transfer may occur at the same time. A stove’s burner not only heats a pan but also the nearby air and makes it less dense. That carries warmth upward via convection. But the burner also radiates heat as infrared waves, making things nearby warm up. And if you’re using a cast-iron skillet to cook a tasty meal, be sure to grab the handle with a potholder: It’s gonna be hot, thanks to conduction!

The Solar System
The solar system consists of a central star, which is the sun, and the bodies that orbit it. The most prominent of the bodies that orbit the sun are the planets: four small rocky planets near the sun, and the four giant planets further out. The small rocky planets near the sun are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The giant planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. There are moons orbiting these planets, and all the moons in the solar system number to more than 160. YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
Page 185
The Sun is the star at the centre of the solar system. It is about five billion years old, and is expected to shine as it does now for about another five billion years. The sun is about 1.4 million kilometres in diameter. It consists almost entirely of hydrogen and helium. Energy is created in the sun when the hydrogen is converted into helium. This energy leaves the sun as heat and light that reaches us every day, and supports life on Earth. Mercury is the nearest planet to the sun, and it orbits the sun at a distance of about 58 million kilometres. Mercury travels around the sun at an average speed of about 48 kilometres per second. It completes an orbit around the sun in just under 88 days. Mercury is very small and rocky. YOUNG JI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
Page 186
Venus is the second planet from the sun. It is very rocky. It orbits the sun very slowly, so completes an orbit only in about 253 Earth days. Venus is the hottest planet, with a maximum surface temperature of about 480ᵒC. The Earth is the third planet to orbit the sun. About 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered by water. The Earth has one natural satellite, called the moon. The solid inner core of the Earth has a temperature of about 6,600ᵒC.
