SCIENCE
• Plants
• Comparing plant parts• Classifying plants• Uses of plants and plant parts• Propagating plants• Caring for and conserving plants
• Force and motion
• What force is• Forces acting on objects
• Light and sound
• Where light comes from and how it travels• Behavior of light• Colors• Sound
SOUNDS
- Is a form of energy
ACOUSTICS -Is the science or study of sound.
VIBRATIONS -Are back and forth, to and fro, or up and down movement of matter
NOISE -Useless and unwanted sounds in our surroundings
FREQUENCY -is the number of vibrations per second
-
PITCH - is the highness or lowness of sound
ECHOES -sound waves that are reflected
-hard surfaces are better reflectors of sounds
SONAR -device to detect underwater objects with sound echoes.
LARYNX -voice box in the throat with two elastic bands called vocal chords
-women have short and thin vocal chords while men have long and thick vocal chords
Matter is made to vibrate when it is struck, scraped, plucked or blown.
For a sound to be heard, an object should vibrate at least twenty times per second.
There are sounds that people cannot hear because they are either too slow or too fast.
The lowest sounds which can be heard by man is 20 vibrations per second.
Sound waves move in all directions from the sound source. In the same way as waves move in water. All children hear clap because sound waves travel in all directions.
How are sounds different?
1. loud/soft – energy volume2. high/low- pitch3. fast/slow – speed of frequency waves
Frequency and Pitch relation
-the faster the object vibrates, the higher is the frequency.
-High-frequency objects produce a high pitch; while low-frequency objects produce low pitch.
Conductors of Sound
Solids – are the best carrier of sounds because tiny particles are closed to one another
Liquids –are good carriers of sounds too but not as good as solids since particles are not so close. Sound travel 4 times faster in water than in air
Air- sound travel slowest in air due to the fact that air particles are far apart.
Echoes – at times can be annoying-when original sound mixes with the echoes, we could not understand the message clearly.
Noise pollution – could cause permanent damage to the ears.

FORCE
-our strength is the force that helps in our daily activities
-force is given by the food we eat
FORCE –is power, it may either be a push or a pull
-anything that changes the speed and direction of moving objects
-it can cause an object to start moving
-it can make moving objects stop
-force can be applied even if the object is not moving
-force can change the shape of an object
Balanced forces – two opposite forces that do not allow the object to move because they are equal
-they have to be equal and opposite
-they always have to act on one and the same thing
-may stretch things or may squeeze them
-otherwise they have no effect on motion
-an object keeps on doing whatever it has been doing
-cause no change in an object’s motion
Unbalanced forces
-are present to cause the change
-two equal forces but not on opposite each other
-more than two forces of different strength one is stronger
MOTION
-when an object travel from one place to another
-a change in the position of an object
The non-moving object – is the reference point
-the position of an object can be described by giving the distance of that object in relation to a reference point.
Reference point – place where observer is or the point of origin of something
FRICTION
-is the force that acts when two objects rub or slide over one another
-is a force that opposes or resist a sliding movement of two surfaces in contact with one another
-without friction the brakes of vehicle would not work
Smooth surface-makes less friction
INERTIA
-tendency of a moving object to continue moving until an outside force is applied
-an object that is at rest has a tendency to remain resting in place unless an outside force is applied on it
Inertia at rest-property of an object at rest to remain at rests
Inertia in motion – moving objects remain moving until pushed or pulled to change their motion
Interaction-for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
