1.1 Understanding that some animals live in groups and others live in solitary

ANIMALS

GROUPSEg:

lions, elephants,ants

SOLITARYEg:

turtles, eagles

Reasons

food safety

Reasons

Avoid competition-Food

- space

Interaction among animals cooperation

1.2 Understanding that competition is a form of interaction among living things

INTERACTION AMONG LIVING THINGS

Cooperation- living together

factors reasons

competition

PLANTS

- Food- Water- Mate- shelter-Territory (space)

1.2 Understanding the effects of a force

1.2.1 Force can move a stationary object

1.2.2 Force can change the motion of an object

1.2.3 Force can change the shape of an object

1.1.2 State that force cannot be seen but its effects can be observed

1.1.1 State push and pull are forces

FORCE1.1 Understanding

that push andpull are forces

FRICTION

1. Definition

2. Effects

3. Ways to reduce/increase

4. Advantages and disadvantages

5. Design a fair test

FRICTION

definitionIs a type of force

(slows down a moving object)

WaysEffects

Produce heat

Opposes motion

Causes wear and tear

1.3 Analysing friction

1. State that friction is a type of force

2. Describe the effects of friction

3. Describe ways to reduce friction

4. Describe ways to increase friction

5. State the advantages of friction

6. State the disadvantages of friction7. Conclude that friction occurs when two surfaces are in contact

8. Design a fair test to find out how different types of surfaces affect the

distance a trolley moves (variables)

An object which moves faster travels a longer distance in a given time

An object that moves faster takes a shorter time to travel a given distance

Problem solving

Which object moves faster?

State what SPEED is

Understanding Speed

A measurement of how fast an object moves

Speed = Distance / Time (Unit of speed : m/s, km/h)

FOOD SPOILAGE

Food spoilt

State the condition for

microorganisms to grow

microorganism can spoil food

Characteristic-unpleasant smell--unpleasant taste--changed colour--changed texture--mouldy

-Food cannot be eaten-Food unsafe to eat

-Air-Water-Nutrient-Suitable temperature-Suitable acidity

whatIdentify

FOOD PRESERVATION

-The food will last longer-The food is easy to store-To reduce wastage of food-Slow down the growth of microorganisms.-Retain freshness
