STRATEGIES/ WAYS TO REMEMBER

DOING A MIND MAPIS LIKE

HAVING A TREE WITH

BRANCHES


22/59

vsa/sksalp

THEME A : INVESTIGATING LIVING THINGS1. MICROORGANISM

2. SURVIVAL OF THE SPECIES

3. FOOD CHAIN AND FOOD WEB

1.1 Understanding thatmicroorganism is a living thing.

2.1 Understanding that different

animals have their own ways to

ensure the survival of their

species.

3.1 Understanding food chains.

state types of microorganisms

- compare the size.- bacteria, virus, fungi and

protozoa.

state that yeast is an example

of microorganism

- making dough.

- observe the effect of yeast.

state that microorganism

breathes

- causes the dough to rise.

state that microorganism grows-sprinkle a few drops of water

on a slice of bread and put inthe plastic bag.

- observe for a few days.

- use microscope or magnifyingglass.

state that microorganismmoves

- observe rotten oranges ormouldy rice.

- samples of water from ponds,

rivers or drains

conclude that microorganisms

are living things and most ofthem cannot be seen with

naked eyes

- using microscope to observemicroorganism.

1.2 Understanding that some

microorganisms are harmful and

some are useful.

state examples of the use ofmicroorganisms

- making bread, tapai, tempeand fertiliser.

state the harmful effects of

microorganisms- causing illness, food poisoning,

food to turn bad and tooth

decay.

describe that diseases caused

by microorganisms can spread

from one person to another

-stomach upset, measles, flu,cough, conjunctivitis, mumpsand AIDS.

explain ways to prevent

diseases caused by

microorganism- washing hands before

handling food.

- boiling water before drinking.- covering mouth and nose

when coughing or sneezing.- washing hands after using the

toilet.

- putting patients who havechicken pox, conjunctivitis or

mumps into quarantine.

give examples of animals that

take care of their eggs and

young- cow, hen, cat, bird.

explain how animals take care

of their eggs and young- fish; keep their young in their

mouths.- bird; feed their young.

- snake or tiger; att ack in order

to protect their eggs or youngwhen they are disturbed.

- frog; lay slimy eggs.

- turtle; hide their eggs.- kangaroo; carry their young in

their pouches.- elephant; stay in herds.

explain why animals take careof their eggs and young

- ensure the survival of their

species.

2.2 Understanding that different

plants have their own ways toensure the survival of their

species.

state various ways plantsdisperse their seeds and fruits

- by water, wind, animal andexplosive mechanism.

explain why plants need to

disperse seeds or fruits

- ensure the survival of theirspecies.

give examples of plant that

disperse seeds and fruits by

water- coconut and pong-pong.

give examples of plants that

disperse seeds and fruits bywind- lallang and angsana.


disperse seeds and fruits by

animals- watermelon, love grass and

rambutan.


disperse seeds by explosive

mechanism

- balsam, rubber, flame of the

forest, chestnut and ladys

finger.

relate characteristics of seeds

and fruits to the ways they aredispersed

- water; light and have air

space.- wind; light, have wing-like

structure, dry, have fine hairsand small.

- animals; fleshy, brightly

coloured, edible, have smellsor have hooks.

- explosive mechanism; drywhen ripe.

2.3 Realising the importance of

survival the species.

predict what will happen ifsome species of animals or

plants do not survive- discuss the consequences if

certain species of animals and

plants become extinct.- shortage of food resources.

- other species may also face

extinction.

identify animals and the foodthey eat

- fish, bird, snake, tiger, frog,turtle, kangaroo, elephant.

classify animals into herbivore,carnivore and omnivore

- discuss and groups according

to the food they eat.

construct food chain

- build food chains to show thefood relationship among

organisms.

identify producer

- food chains must begins withplants as producers.

identify consumer

- after producer comes theconsumer.

3.2 Synthesizing food chains to

construct food web.

construct a food web- based on food chains given.

construct food webs ofdifferent habitats

-study food webs in placessuch as field, science garden,

pond or under flower pot.

predict what will happen if

there is a change in population

of a certain species in a foodweb

- discuss

explain what will happen to a

certain species of animals ifthey eat only one type of food

- difficult to survive.- food run out.

- panda eats bamboo shoots.

- koala bear eats eucalyptusleaves.

- pangolin eats ants.

1. MAKING INFERENCES

Q-key Steps A-key

inference An early conclusion/ explanation

from an observation why it happen- give reasons.

a) observation + why

b) observation + cause

c) relates observation with cause

Usually our previous knowledgeand experience will influence theconclusion.

*Observe the phenomenon/object

before and after -using oursenses.

*Think why it happens using ourmind.

The because the

sponge is thick.

The because towel A

is thicker than towel B.
