3.1 animals have specific characteristics and
behaviour to protect themselves
Thick and hard skin
To prevent their enemies from injuring
Hard shell
Snails and tortoise retract their head
And legs into the shell when the are
Attacked by enemies
Hard scales
Pangolins and crocodiles have hard
scales To protect their bodies
from injuries
Spines
Raise the sharp spines when
the enemies
Advance towards them
Horns
Use their horn to attack enemies.
Sharp claws
To protect themselves and their
Young from the enemies- lion ,cat,
Bears, and eagle.
Spray black ink
Dark surrounding helps the animal not
to been seen by enemies
e.g: octopus, squid
Poisonous sting or fangs
Can hurt and kill enemies-e.g..: scorpion,
centipede snake , bee.
Camouflage
Has body colour or patterns that that are
Similar to the surrounding
Pretend to dead
To trick their enemies e.g.: beetle

mud holes
Humps
Camels store food and water in the form
Of fats in the humps on their back.

EFFECT
The Earth is
the only planet in the
Solar System that
has living things.
The nearer a planet to the Sun is,
the hotter is the surface of the planet .
The farther a planet from the Sun is,
the colder is the surface of the planet.
Do not have enough air and water.
Earth is the third planet from the Sun, it receives enough light
and heat from the Sun.
It is not too hot or too cold.
The atmosphere of the Earth contains air and there is water
on Earth.
Much nearer :
The temperature on the Earth would rise.
Water on Earth would evaporate.
No water and the temperature would be
very hot.
Much farther :
The temperature on the Earth would drop.
Water would freeze into ice.
All living things would die.

Herbivore :
Animals that eat plants only.
e.g.: cow, goat, deer
Carnivore:
Animals that eat other animals.
e.g.: tiger, lion
Omnivore:
Animals that eat plants and
other animals
Animals that eat plant
or other animals
are called consumers.

The food relationship
among living things
can be shown by
a food chain.
To construct food

Example :
fish, prawn, fruits

Reason :
Bacteria and fungi cannot
grow without water
Example :
Eggs, water

Reason :
Boiled will killed bacteria
and fungi
Example :
eggs, vegetables, fruits

Reason :
Cold temperature slow
down the growth of
bacteria and fungi
Example :
Biscuits, crackers,

Reason :
Bacteria and fungi
cannot grow
without water

Reason :
Prevents the growth
of bacteria and
fungi

Example :
Fruits, chili, fish


Bottling/
canning
Pasteurising Salting
Reason :
Bacteria and fungi
cannot active at a
very low temperature

Example :
Fish, meat



Reason :
Bacteria and fungi
cannot grow
without air

Example :
Meat, fish, fruits




Reason :
Destroy
microoganism

Example :
Milk, yogurt




Reason :
Bacteria and fungi
cannot grow in very
salt substances

Example :
Fish, eggs



Reason :
Dry the food

Example :
Fish, meat


Reason :
Slow down the
loss of water

Example :
Fruits


Smoking

1.3 The Importance of
Preserving Food

Food can be kept
for a longer time
Easier to
store
Easier to
carry
To prevent the
wastage of food

2.1 The Effects of
Improper Waste Disposal
On The Environment

Gas
Liquid
Solid
From agricultural
activities
From vehicles and
open burning
Toxic materials
Rubbish
Sources of wastes
Types of waste

Open burning
Littering
Chanelling- waste
factories into river
Releasing smoke
and dangerous gasses

Treat waste water
Keep environment
and home clean
Reuse and recycle
rubbish and waste
Reduce car
Build factories far
from home
The improper
ways disposal
Smoke dissolved
form weak acid
Kills plants & fish
Destroys building &
bridges

Rubbish thrown in
rivers or drain
Cause flash-floods
& water over flow
Kill plants & animals
in the river

Open burning
Cause asthma &
eye irritation
Air pollution

Disease
Cause by eating
polluted fish and plants

The Harmful
Effect
The proper
disposal ways

Animal extinction
Habitats destruction
Spoil natural beauty
Change Climate


Tin can
Plastic
Synthetic
Glass
Metal objects


Give out
poisonous gas
Unpleasant
smell


Return nutrient
to soil
Prevent rubbish
from accumulate


Paper
Wood
Food
Meat


Fungi
Bacteria

2.2 Some Waste
Can Decay
Waste that decay
Waste that do not decay
Microbes that cause
waste to decay
Advantages of
waste decaying
Disadvantages of
waste decaying
What will happen if
waste do not decay
INVESTIGATING THE EARTH
& THE UNIVERSE
ECLIPSE OF THE MOON
The Earth is
between the Sun
and the Moon
The Earth, the Moon
and the Sun are
positioned in a
straight line
The Earths position
blocks sunlight from
reaching the Moon.
The Earths shadow
is formed on the
Moon surface and
cause an eclipse of

TECHNOLOGY
WHEEL AND AXLE
1.1. Simple machine
LEVER
WEDGE
PULLEY
GEAR
INCLINED PLANE
SCREW
-To carry or move heavy objects
- e.g. hammer , spoon , scissor
-To lift heavy objects easier
e.g. stairs , slanting wooden plank
-To carry to move heavy objects easily
e.g screw driver , car spanner
-To carry or lift objects to a higher place
-e.g flag pole , crane
-To cut or separate objects
-E.g knife , saw , axe
-To fix two objects together
-E.g drill bit , spanner
-To move objects easily
-Gear in a watch
A device that allows us to use
less force to make work easier
or faster
1.2 Analysing a
complex
machine
Made up of more
than one simple
machine.
Wheelbarrow
Lever, wheel and axle
Crane
Gear, pulley, lever
Egg Beater
Gear, wheel and axle
Bicycle
Gear, lever,
wheel and axle
Scissors
Lever, wedge
Hand Drill
Wedge, wheel and axle
1.3 Appreciating the invention of machines that
make life easier.
Life with machine
Life without machine
Difficulty moving heavy things.
Will not be able to travel from
one place to another faraway
place.
Help to move heavy things.
Work in the fields is made easier and
productivity of agricultural product is
raised.
Construction work is made easier and
can be completed faster.
Help us travel from one place to
another.
