FOREWORD
he Teacher Education Division, Ministry of Education Malaysia with thecooperation of all State Education Departments, have embarked on theimplementation of the “Teaching of Mathematics and Science in English” (ETeMS)Course since 2002. To date, a total of 120,000 Mathematics and Science teachers
from primary and secondary schools have been successfully trained by our own localtrainers.
Although we are pleased with this development, we will not be satisfied until all theMathematics and Science teachers are truly competent in the language. In view of this,the Teacher Education Division continuously tries to find ways to assist the teachersconcerned. Thus, this module has been designed to further enhance the Buddy SupportSystem as it complements the EMS module that is currently being used in schools. It isintended to assist teachers who obtained Band 1 and Band 2 (PTP 2008), especiallythose who are teaching in the rural areas.
The main focus of this module is to develop teachers’ basic communicative skills andboost their confidence in using the English Language. It will help them in managingclassroom interactions as well as the teaching and learning processes. In addition, it willalso enhance teachers’ ability in using the correct terminology and classroomlanguage thus enabling the students to follow the lessons taught effectively.
It is hoped that this module will be fully utilised and beneficial to all teachers in upgradingtheir proficiency level to teach Science and Mathematics in English. When the teachersface less problems where English is concerned, they will be able to deliver their lessonseffectively, thereby moulding the students towards becoming world class citizens. Thus,the students will be able to take part in international events as well as contribute towardsnation building. It is hoped that this module will enable teachers to be more independent,creative and innovative.
I would like to convey my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to those involved inproducing this module. I would also like to acknowledge their dedication andperseverance in helping the Mathematics and Science teachers to cope with the change.
Thank you.

TEXT A
In order to understand how static electricity work, we needs to know that everything
are made up of microscopic particles that have electrical charges called electrons. Static
electricity are created by rubbing one object against another. When you rubs a balloon
against your head, electrical charges from your hair are transferred to the balloon.
Your hair become positively charged, because it loses some electrons. The balloon
becomes negatively charged, because it gains more electrons from your hair. If you holds
the balloon near your head, your hair will stand on ends. Your hair and the balloon is
attracted to each other because they have opposite charges which are positive and
negative. Oppositely-charged objects attract each other and makes them stick together.

Science are closely related to our daily lives. The type of food we choose to eat, the
clothes we wore and the energy we uses are all based on our knowledge on science.
Science explained how babies become adults, why fruits fall to the ground and how birds
flew. Science was the systematic study of natural phenomena, like lightning and volcanic
eruptions , and how they affect us and the environment.

like milk to go bad. He also discovered how to prevent food from going bad by heating
them. This method was called pasteurization and is still being used today.

Rounding Off Decimals
Decimals can be rounded off to a given number of decimal places. Consider the number
8.6489. We want to round it off to 2 decimal places.
Step 1: Identify the second decimal place and underline it.
Teacher’s Module
EMS Module 2 / 2009 35
Step 2: Look at the number in the third decimal place. If the digit is greater than, or is 5, add
1 to the digit on its left. Then drop all the digits on its right. If the digit is less than 5, do not
add 1 to the digit on its left. Drop all the digits on its right. Since 8 is greater than 5, round up
by adding 1 to the digit 4.
Therefore, 8.6489 = 8.65 ( to 2 decimal places ).

TEXT C The Good And The Bad in Our Daily Diet
Teacher’s Module
EMS Module 2 / 2009 41
Many Malaysians are unaware of how much fat is found in the food they eat. Some
of them are deceived by the delicious nasi lemak, roti canai, cakes and fast food. They are
not concerned over the fat content in these foods which ranges from 30 to 60 percent. Food
which is prepared by frying contains even more fat compared to food which is boiled or
steamed. The former is the common cause of obesity among Malaysian adults.
A healthy lifestyle is achieved only if we understand why we have to eat, what and
how much we eat daily. These questions, which will help locate dietary causes of weight
gain are gaining urgency. Obesity happens to be one of the main causes of diseases among
Malaysians today. Many health advisers are concerned over the fact that one in four
Malaysian adults is now overweight.
Many people do not know how to differentiate between the two. Hunger is triggered
by the need for energy, whereas appetite can be caused by factors such as anger, boredom,
stress, mood swings and even by the environment. Knowing what you put in your mouth is
important. ( Adapted from: New Straits Times May 20, 2004 )
Answer these questions using the passive voice.
1. What is the main problem faced by Malaysians in their daily diet?

2. What is the cause of obesity among Malaysians?
