Habitats Have students identify the animals and plants according to their habitats: animals and plants which live in hot places (camel, toucan, koala, rattlesnake, cactus), animals and plants which live in temperate places (moose, lynx, rhesus monkey and ferns), animals and plants which live in cold places (peguin, polar bear, walrus, fir tree). Then have students identify the animals which live in trees (orangutan, koala, toucan), the animals which live on the ground (lion, elephant, kangaroo) and animals which live in water (whale, shark, sea lion).

23

21 20

Students list animals under these headings: Animals that Run, Animals that Fly, Animals that Swim, Animals that Slither (e.g., run—lion, tiger, reindeer; fly—eagle, toucan, macaw; swim—dolphin, whale, shark; slither—rattlesnake). Ask individual students to imitate the movements of different animals and have the class guess what they are.

Birth Have students draw and label animals that are born from their mothers (the mammals, including the marine mammals), and animals that are born from eggs: the birds, reptiles, and fish.

Animals need water, food and the right temperature. They live in places where they find the things they need. Water

shows that it is also recorded.

All animals need water. Aquatic animals, like fish and dolphins, live in water. Food All animals eat other living things. Herbivores eat plants, and carnivores eat other animals. Omnivores eat plants and animals. Temperature Some animals live in very hot places. They rest during the day. They look for food at night, when it is not so hot. Some land animals, like ducks, spend a lot of time in the water.

Activities • Activities at the bottom of the page reinforce basic concepts, and practise structures and vocabulary. • Some are linked to citizenship themes.

Other animals live in cold places. They have thick fur or fat under their skins. This gives them protection from the cold.

Learning skills Techniques Various learning skills can help students to master the contents of Essential Science:

Memorisation

• To extract information, it is important to study the whole picture carefully as well as look at the details. • The students study the accompanying texts, which give the names of the different parts or functions.

Highlighted words

• To memorise new vocabulary, it is useful to associate the words with mental pictures, and then revise them in order. • In order to teach the respiratory and circulatory systems, for example, ask students to touch the corresponding parts of their bodies.

Photographs • The photographs help students to obtain information. It can be helpful to ask the students to study a picture before they have read the caption or received any other external information. • Focus the students’ attention: What do you see in the photo? Can you see …? • Go on to analyse the picture systematically, highlighting all the details.

Drawings • These drawings represent parts of the human body, plants, etc. Some are realistic, while others are simplified.

• These are printed in bold. They highlight key points and vocabulary.

Experiments • Before an experiment begins, the students are asked to predict how they think it will end. • Students need to have a clear idea of an experiment’s different stages. • Point out the following: • material they will need • initial situation • sequence of events • final result

Enquiry questions • Learning should never be a purely mechanical process. Questions can be used to elicit prior knowledge, and find out students’ ideas. • Students should be encouraged to predict what they will learn: What do you know about rocks? What do you think this unit / this page is going to be about? • Comparison questions encourage students to relate information from different sections: In what ways are … different from …?

The circulatory system heart

• This type of question should be adapted to the language level of the class.

Activities

arteries veins

• Initially, the activities at the bottom of the page should be done orally with the whole class. Later, most can be written down, either as homework or as whole class activites. This will help students to master the key concepts and language. • Some citizenship questions may be difficult for the students in English. It is advisable to begin by eliciting short, simple replies.

Recorded Material Some sections of each Unit are recorded on the Student’s CD. There is a more complete selection of texts on the Class CD. • The listening exercises can be used in the presentation stage of the Unit. • Students should listen to the recording at least twice before they check their answers. • The exercises can be corrected on the board, or by looking at the text in the book.

Describing • Describing physical properties: Students copy the tables into their notebooks. They test each other in pairs. • Describing relative position: Students study the page. In pairs they ask each other: Where is …?, and answer using the correct preposition. • Describing a process, using linking words: First, next, then, etc. The students find more examples of processes using these linkers in other units.

• For revision purposes, the listening exercises can be used at the end of the unit to recycle vocabulary or revise the content.

Light

• At the end of each unit on the Class CD, there is an additional recorded text for use with higher level classes. • The recorded material will help students with the pronunciation of new language and vocabulary.

About this book Linking units and contents • Before students look at the Contents list, write a few titles on the left of the board: The Universe; Ecosystems; Oceans and continents. • On the right, write, in a different order, some of the information about the titles: Europe; The sea is an ecosystem; The Solar System. • Students volunteer to go to the board and draw a line between a title and its information. • The students now have the list of contents (page ii of the Student’s Book), open in front of them. Draw on the board something to represent a title, for example, a rock (Unit 7). • Students guess which unit is referred to. Students then volunteer to draw other titles on the board, and the activity continues. They may also do this activity in pairs.

Anagrams • Write anagrams on board, for example TLANP (PLANT) and ask the students to say which unit is being referred to. The students could do this in pairs.

Plants need water, soil, sunlight and the right temperature. They live in places where they find the things they need.

• Realising that plants make their own food.

Water

■ Hands on

All plants need water. They absorb water through their roots. Some plants, like cactus, can survive with only a little water. Other plants, like ferns, need a lot of water. Some plants, like water lilies, live in water.

Ferns live in wet, shady places.

Soil The roots of the plant fix it to the soil. Plants absorb water and other substances from the soil. They use these substances to make their own food. Sunlight

Weeping willows need a lot of water. They have long roots so they can absorb as much water as possible.

• Understanding that plants can only live in places where they find the things they need

All plants need sunlight. They make their food using sunlight. Some plants need a lot of sunlight. Other plants, like moss, live in very shady places. Temperature Most plants need a warm temperature. Not many plants grow in very cold places.

Caring for a plant

• Take a plant to class and put it in a sunny place with no draughts. Ask: What will happen to the plant? (It will grow, get leaves, flowers …) • Have students take turns every week watering the plant and giving it the care it needs. • Record the changes in the plant regularly during the year.

A healthy diet


READ

Our daily diet should include milk.

1. A healthy diet

• The relationship between physical exercise and the quantity of food we need

Our diet is made up of the things that we eat and drink.

• The importance of having four meals a day

• A balanced diet gives us the right quantity of each type of food.

■ Hands on

2. How much food do we need? The quantity of food we need depends on how old we are and how much physical exercise we do.

Comparing food

• When we are growing, we need more of some types of food. For example, we need milk because it has calcium. • If we do a lot of exercise, we need to eat more.

3. Food and meals People who do a lot of exercise need more food. What food do we need for a healthy breakfast?

6

There are four meals that we eat during the day: breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner. This is so we have enough food to give us energy through the day. • It is very important to have a good breakfast. We need energy in the morning.

• Ask Ss to bring some fruit juice and soft drink containers to class. • Read out the ingredients and write them on the BB. Compare them together. (Soft drinks contain little or no fruit juice and lots of sugar, which is bad for the teeth.) • Ask: Which drinks are healthier? Why? (fruit juices because they come from fruit which is healthy)

• A good tea includes a sandwich and some fruit or milk.

■ Presentation

• For lunch and dinner we should eat a variety of food. It is healthy to eat meat one day and fish the next to get the proteins we need to help us grow.

• READ Ask: Why do we need milk? (Milk has calcium and children need a lot of it to grow, especially for bones and muscles.) Children who cannot drink milk substitute it with other foods rich in calcium.

How we digest food


LOOK AND READ

1. The stages of digestion

• Understanding the digestive process 9

• The use of the passive

1. Digestion begins in the mouth. Our teeth cut and chew the food. Our tongue mixes the food with saliva. Then the food goes down the oesophagus and into the stomach.

■ Hands on

2. In the stomach, the food is mixed with a liquid (gastric juice). This breaks down the food into simpler substances. The mixture then goes into the intestine.

Fats and digestion • Put some water in a receptacle. • Add oil until it forms a thin layer on top. Ask: What happens to the oil? (It stays on top of the water.) • Pour in a few drops of washing-up liquid. Ask: What happens to the oil now? (The oil breaks up where the drops fall.) • Explain that substances produced during digestion break down fats in a similar way.

3. In the small intestine, the food is divided into the substances our body needs.

Some food, like bread and vegetables, are digested very quickly.

All the useful parts of our food go from our small intestine into the blood. The parts that we cannot use go into the large intestine. They are transformed into faeces and expelled through the anus.

Our heart is incredibly strong! The heart is a powerful pump that forces our blood to circulate throughout our bodies, from our head to our toes. It pumps between 7,000 and 8,000 litres of blood in a day, and it beats 120,000 times during this period. In a year, the heart beats more than 30 million times. During an average lifetime, it beats more than 2 billion (2,000 million) times.

Many people can be blood donors. They need to be healthy adults.

Birth


LOOK

• Understanding that babies receive nourishment through the umbilical cord

During pregnancy women are very careful about their diet. They know they must look after their health and the health of their baby. Pregnant women eat a lot of fruit, vegetables, meat and fish. They drink a lot of milk.

■ Hands on

THINK AND ANSWER

Newborn babies

• Why is it very important that pregnant women do not smoke or drink alcohol?

• Show a picture of a newborn baby and ask the Ss: What is this? (the remains of the umbilical cord) What was it for? (to pass nourishment to the baby) • What is the hair like? (fine and soft; some are born with no hair) • What are the legs like? (flexed)

READ

1. Pregnancy

22

We were all born from our mother’s womb. The time that a foetus spends in its mother’s womb is called pregnancy. Pregnancy lasts for about nine months. During this time foetuses grow and change. • At the beginning, foetuses are as small as a grain of sand. • At three months, foetuses measure about ten centimetres. They already have a head, legs, arms, fingers and a heart. • At nine months, babies measure about fifty centimetres. They are ready to be born.

2. Birth

23

During pregnancy the baby is connected to its mother by the umbilical cord. Food and oxygen for the baby travel through the umbilical cord. Babies depend on their parents. Their parents give them everything they need.

14

• When the baby is completely formed and ready to be born, it leaves its mother’s womb. This is birth. • As soon as the baby is born, the umbilical cord is cut and the baby begins to live on its own.

MEN AND WOMEN

How long do living things live? Look at how long some animals and plants live.

Flies have a short life. They live for about 3 to 4 weeks.

• Babies do not have teeth. Babies start to get their teeth when they are about six months old. Then they start to eat solid food. Butterflies live for 2 weeks on average.

2. The stages of growth • In childhood girls and boys grow taller. They learn very quickly how to walk, read and do other things. • During our youth we continue growing. Our sex organs mature, and after this we can have babies.

Some giant tortoises live for up to 200 years.

• We reach maturity when we are about 20 years old, and our bodies are completely formed. Adult people have learned enough to look after their children.

Plant nutrition is different from animal nutrition. Plants make their own food. Then they use it. These are the stages of plant nutrition: • First, the roots absorb water and mineral salts from the soil. This mixture is raw sap. • Next, the raw sap travels up the stem to the leaves. • Plants also need sunlight and carbon dioxide to make their food. • In the leaves, the raw sap is transformed into elaborated sap. • Finally, the elaborated sap travels from the leaves to the other parts of the plant, where it is used or stored.

• Understanding that the movement of the Earth around the Sun is what causes the seasons

39

The Earth moves around the Sun. This movement is called an orbit. The Earth takes about 365 days to complete its orbit around the Sun. These are the 365 days of the year.

■ Hands on

This movement of the Earth around the Sun is what causes the seasons.

autumn

The Earth’s orbit

When the Earth moves around the Sun, part of the Earth receives more sunlight and heat. It is summer there.

• Student 1 stands in the centre of the room with a sign saying SUN. Student 2, with a sign saying EARTH, walks in a circle around student 1. • Ask four more students to replace student 2 as Earth. Each has a sign: SPRING, SUMMER, AUTUMN, WINTER, as in the picture. • When the SUN faces each season, student 1 calls out the name of the season.

Another part of the Earth receives less sunlight and heat. It is winter there. There is autumn between summer and winter. There is spring between winter and summer.

1. Read carefully.

Is the Earth round or flat? Today everybody knows the Earth is a sphere. However, this idea was generally accepted only around five hundred years ago. For a person standing on the Earth’s surface, it was easy to imagine that the Earth was flat. It seemed that the Sun, stars and other planets orbited the Earth. People had this idea for a very long time. However, in 1520, Magellan and Elcano sailed around the world in their ships. They proved, without a doubt, that the Earth is a sphere.

Minerals

■ Special attention READ

• Use of the right vocabulary to describe minerals

1. Minerals

Minerals are natural materials. Besides being found on their own, they can be part of rocks, animal bones and shells. There are minerals on the Earth’s surface, and under the ground.

• Superlative adjectives: hardest, softest

■ Hands on

Animal shells are made of minerals.

Each mineral is different:

Studying minerals • Take some minerals to class so the Ss can see and touch them. • Ask: What colour is gold? Is pyrite shiny? What is cinnabar?

41

• Shape: Some minerals are regular, like pyrite. Others, like turquoise, are irregular.

pyrite cubes

• Colour: Each mineral has a typical colour or colours.

Pyrite is a cube shaped mineral. It is grey and shiny.

■ Presentation

• Shiny or dull? Some minerals, like pyrite, are shiny. Others, like chalk, are dull. • Hard or soft? Diamond is the hardest mineral. Gypsum is the softest.

2. Minerals are useful • We use minerals like gypsum to build buildings.

• READ Look at the picture of the snail. Ask: What other animals have shells? (turtles, starfish, crabs, clams ...) Minerals make their shells hard and give them protection. • Show the Ss some jewellery with precious stones. Draw attention to the shine and colour. Precious stones do not look the same when they are found in the ground. They are cut and polished to obtain a smooth, shiny surface. • We also obtain metals from minerals. For example, iron comes from pyrite. • Ask: Where can we find minerals in nature? (the ground, shells, bones, rocks …) How can we distinguish one mineral from another? (shape, colour, texture …) What are minerals used for? (buildings, jewellery …) • Play

59 .

Ss practise the vocabulary.

• The Ss read 1 and 2 and listen to 60 and 61 . They then do the activity at the bottom of the page. ➔ R Activity Book, page 27.

Rocks are natural materials


LOOK AND READ

1. Rocks

• Understanding that rocks and minerals are not the same thing

42

Rocks are materials made up of minerals. We dig mines to obtain rocks that are under the ground. We dig quarries to obtain rocks that are on the surface.

2. Rocks are useful

■ Hands on

43

Useful rocks

• Slate, marble and granite are used for building. • Coal is used for fuel. We burn it to obtain heat.

• Collect photos of the many uses of rocks: sculptures, stairs, floors, walls, buildings. Ask Ss: What are they made of? (They are made of different rocks / materials.) • The Ss make sentences. Examples: This sculpture is made of grey marble. The wall is made of granite. The stairs are made of pink marble.

Coloured marble was used to build this cathedral in Italy.

Granite Granite is made up of three different minerals: quartz, feldspar and mica. quartz feldspar

■ Presentation granite

We obtain granite in quarries.

mica

• LOOK AND READ Ask: Where can we find rocks in nature (mines, quarries …) What do we use rocks for? (building, fuel ...) The colours in the photo of the granite show it is made up of three different minerals: quartz is white, feldspar is yellowish and mica is black.

Granite is hard and resistant. The ancient Egyptians used granite to make sculptures.

The ground is made up of rocks, sand, soil, air, water and humus. Humus is the remains of living things like leaves.

• Poor ground has little water, air and humus. Only resistant plants, like olive trees, can grow in poor ground.

There are three main layers: • The top layer is made up of sand, soil and humus. • The middle layer is made up of sand, soil and rocks. • The bottom layer is made up of bigger rocks.

Plants grow in the ground. Animals such as earthworms, ants and moles live under the ground.

2. Underground water Some water from rain filters through the ground and reaches the bottom layer of rocks. These rocks do not let the water filter any further. It stops and becomes underground water.

■ Presentation • READ Guide Ss in their interpretation of the diagram. What are the names of the three layers of soil? (top, middle, bottom) What can we see in the top layer? (plants, animals …) And in the middle and bottom layers? (rocks) Describe the rocks in the bottom layer (big) …

Ecosystems


LOOK AND READ

• Understanding that ecosystems include the place and the living things that live there

1. Plants and animals live together Plants need water and light to survive. Some plants, like beech trees, need a lot of water. They grow in wet places. Others, like palm trees, only need a little. They grow in dry places.

• Like, such as for giving examples

■ Hands on

It is the same for animals. For example, bears live in cool, wet places. In each place, we find plants and animals that need the same things.

Ants

Bears and beech trees live in cool, wet places.

• Ss observe ants in nature and talk about them. Ask: What do you notice about the ants? • Answers: Ants are social insects; they live in groups, they share the work (a single queen lays the eggs, the workers collect food, the soldiers defend the colony); they build ant hills under the ground; they collect food and store it; they can carry things many times their own body weight.

• In an ecosystem, there are living things like plants and animals.

Big and small ecosystems 47 The size of an ecosystem varies. Some ecosystems are big, like the savannah. Others are small, like a pond.

Even in a pond we can find many animals such as frogs, dragonflies and snails. There are also water plants. The savannah is a very big ecosystem. Grasses, bushes and trees live on the savannah. There are also many different animals like zebras, gnu, hyenas and lions.

• LOOK AND READ Say: What can we learn about animals by studying them in their habitats? Answer: what they eat; how they interact with other living things; if they live in water or on land; if they hide among rocks or under the ground …

• Explain that in the city there are also different ecosystems; for example, gardens and parks. Ask what kinds of living things live there. • The Ss read 1 and 2 with 69 and 70 .

Coral reefs are one of most diverse ecosystems in the world. There are more kinds of marine life in and around coral reefs than in other places in the oceans. In addition to corals, we can also find seaweed, snails, starfish, sea anemones, clownfish, sea urchins, and many different kinds of fish. Although they look like plants, corals are really colonies of tiny sea animals. Certain conditions are needed for a coral reef to grow. There must be a lot of light. The water temperature must be above twenty degrees. The water must have enough salt, and it must be in constant motion. Many living things interact in the reefs. They depend on each other for food, and also for shelter. For example, clownfish hide in the tentacles of the sea anemone for protection, and they give the sea anemone pieces of food.

Some objects do not let light through. When light cannot travel through an object, a shadow is formed. The shadow of an object is always formed on the opposite side to the source of light.

Colours 56 The light we get from the Sun is called white light. White light is a mixture of seven colours: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. When white light passes through a prism we can see these seven colours. We can also see them in a rainbow. White light helps us see the colours of objects around us.

■ Presentation • READ Ss imagine they are in the school patio. Ask: Where is the shadow formed when … the Sun is behind you? (in front) … the Sun is facing you? (behind) … the Sun is to your right side? (to your left) • LOOK Ask: How many colours are there in a rainbow? (seven) Elicit the colours.

transparent

1. Transparent, translucent and opaque objects

• Distinguishing luminous and non-luminous bodies

58

We divide objects into three groups depending on how much light can pass through them. • Transparent objects, like clear glass bottles, allow light to pass through. We can see objects that are behind them. • Translucent objects allow some light to pass through, but we cannot see objects behind them very clearly. Some curtains are translucent.

translucent

• Opaque objects, for example wood and cardboard, do not allow light to pass through.

2. Luminous and non-luminous bodies opaque

59

Some objects are sources of light. We call them luminous bodies. • Natural luminous bodies, like the Sun, produce light.

■ Hands on Sun dial • Cut a circle out of white card. Put a pencil through the centre. • Stick the pencil in the ground outside. Ask: What will happen to the pencil’s shadow during the day? (it will change in position and length) • Compare the position and length of the pencil’s shadow at different times during the day.

• Artificial luminous bodies, like candles and matches, are man-made. Non-luminous bodies produce no light. Some of these objects, like mirrors or the Moon, reflect the light that reaches them.
