II

IntroductionTop Science 5 Teacher’s Resource Book provides a range of materials designed to complement the Student’s Book and the Teacher’s Book. These materials contribute to the flexible nature of Top Science: students in the same class can be given worksheets at different levels, or weaker students can complete the tasks with stronger peers. Teachers with more contact hours can make use of these photocopiable materials as and when they need them.

There are three categories of worksheets: reinforcement, extension, and assessment. Use them for revision purposes, for extension practice, as progress tests, assessment, or for homework. The worksheets can be photocopied and filed in a folder.

Reinforcement and extension worksheets

There are forty-two reinforcement worksheets. These materials constitute a flexible tool: they can be worked on after the relevant section in the Student’s Book, before the Activities sections, or as extra preparation for the unit assessment. The answer keys are provided.

There are fifteen double-page extension worksheets, one for each unit of the Student’s Book. These worksheets can be used for fast finishers or to extend class work. Depending on their level, students can complete the worksheets with or without consulting their Student’s Book or other sources. The answer keys are provided.

Remember The Earth’s crust is made up of rocks. Over time, these rocks wear down and break apart.

Soil is made up of the remains of rocks and of living things.

The Earth’s crust is continually changing because of erosion, transport and deposition, and sedimentation.

Read and answer.

What is a constellation?

What constellation does the Pole Star belong to? In what hemisphere is it?

What constellation has the shape of a hunter and his dog?

1

Scorpions and dragons, princesses and hunters, chariots and arrows... If you look up at the sky on a clear night, from a place without pollution, you will see hundreds of stars that form outlines of interesting shapes.

These groups of stars are constellations. And of all the constellations, there is one that is easily recognised by everyone: the Big Dipper, also known as Ursa Major or the Big Bear.

The Big Dipper is located in the northern hemisphere. It is made up of seven stars. Three of these stars seem to form the handle and four appear to form the bowl of a dipper, another name for a ladle or scoop.

The star at the end of the handle of the Little Dipper is the North Star, also known as Polaris or the Pole Star. Another way to find the North Star is to draw a line through the last two stars of the bowl of the Big Dipper. This line will point to the North Star.

Close by is the constellation of Cepheus, which represents the legendary king of Ethiopia, Cefeo. Beyond Cepheus you can see Cassiopeia, which will look like an M or W, depending on the season.

Winter is the best time of year to see the constellations Orion, the hunter, and Canis Major, the dog which followed Orion.

In total, there are 88 constellations.

Why do plants have to protect themselves from animals?

Why do plants living in dry areas need to grow farther apart?

How do plants adapt to changes in the seasons? Write an example.

1

2

Plants react to their environment and often have to adapt in order to survive . We can classify plant adaptation in several ways:

Plant adaptation2

Adapting to fauna

Some plants develop defence systems to avoid being eaten by animals . For example, the castor oil plant produces venom . Rose bushes have thorns . Thyme plants give off an unpleasant smell that repels herbivores .

Adapting to soil

Different types of soil allow different types of plants to survive . This depends on the conditions of the soil . For example, ivy grows well in rich, loose soil . Venus’s navel is able to grow in the cracks of rocks where there is very little soil .

Adapting to rainfall

In humid areas, plants can grow close to each other because there is plenty of water . In dry areas, plants grow farther apart because water is scarce .

Structural adaptations

The structure of cacti helps them survive extremely hot and dry climates . A cactus plant can retain large amounts of water in its fleshy stem . Tough skin keeps water inside from evaporating . The olive tree also grows in hot, dry climates . It has adapted by growing hard, impermeable leaves .

Where do the names of the four types of eruptions come from?

1

Have you ever seen a film or television programme about volcanic eruptions? Many documentaries have captured the moment in which a peaceful mountain landscape is turned into fiery fountains of lava .

As you know, volcanic activity can vary greatly . Some volcanoes are extremely active, meaning they erupt quite often and violently . Other volcanoes are less active, and they erupt less frequently, with less intensity . Some volcanoes are dormant, meaning they seem to be asleep because they have not erupted for many years . Other volcanoes are considered extinct .

According to how they erupt, volcanoes are classified into four groups .

Hawaiian eruptions. There are no explosions with this type of eruption . The lava is fluid, so it runs down the side of the volcano . They get their name from the volcanoes found on the islands of Hawaii .

Strombolian eruptions. These are passive eruptions, so they are less dangerous than most . The lava is fluid . They are characterised by small but frequent explosions which can occur over thousands of years . They are named after the volcano Stromboli, in Italy, which has been in eruption for hundreds of years .

Vulcanian eruptions. These are violent, noisy eruptions . The volcano comes to life suddenly after a dormant period and releases large clouds of ash . The magma that is released is viscous, meaning it does not flow easily and it dries quickly . The name comes from Vulcano in the Aeolian Islands off the coast of Italy, near Sicily .

Pelean eruptions. These are extremely violent eruptions . As dense magma rises through the chimney, it cools and blocks the crater of the volcano . This builds up pressure inside the volcano because the magma and gases cannot escape . Finally, the volcano erupts in an extremely violent explosion, releasing the gas and lava . This type of eruption is named after the 1902 eruption of Mount Pelee, Martinique, which completely destroyed this island in the Caribbean Sea .

Scorpions and dragons, princesses and hunters, chariots and arrows . . . If you look up at the sky on a clear night, from a place without pollution, you will see hundreds of stars that form outlines of interesting shapes .

These groups of stars are constellations . And of all the constellations, there is one that is easily recognised by everyone: the Big Dipper, also known as Ursa Major, the Plough, or the Big Bear .

The Big Dipper is located in the northern hemisphere . It is made up of seven stars . Three of these stars seem to form the handle and four appear to form the bowl of a dipper, another name for a ladle or scoop .

The star at the end of the handle of the Little Dipper is the North Star, also known as Polaris or the Pole Star . Another way to find the North Star is to draw a line through the last two stars of the bowl of the Big Dipper . This line will point to the North Star .

Close by is the constellation of Cepheus, which represents the legendary king of Ethiopia, Cefeo . Beyond Cepheus you can see Cassiopeia, which will look like an M or W, depending on the season .

Winter is the best time of year to see the constellations Orion, the hunter, and Canis Major, Orion's dog .

How did Archimedes find out that the goldsmith had cheated Hieron?

Because one of the bowls had more water than the other .

Because both bowls contained the same amount of water .

What did Archimedes base his conclusions on?

Changing the shape of a body also changes its volume .

Two equal masses of the same substance have the same volume .

1

Look how the water spills out of the bowl. The goldsmith tried to cheat you!

Eureka! I’ve got it! I’ve found the solution.

About 2,200 years ago, Hieron, King of Syracuse, in Sicily, commissioned a solid gold crown .

The crown was beautiful, but Hieron was worried because he suspected that the goldsmith was dishonest . Perhaps he had stolen part of the gold and used less valuable metals .

Hieron called Archimedes, the wisest man in the city .

A week later, while he was taking a bath, Archimedes thought of a solution .

Archimedes took two bowls of water . He placed the crown in one bowl . In the other one, he placed another crown of solid gold with the same mass .

I will try to find the solution.

Can you find out if the crown is made of solid gold?

Who was Isaac Newton?

What is gravity?

Why did a falling apple make Newton think of gravity?

Many historical events have elements of reality and legend . This is certainly the case with the discovery of the Universal Law of Gravitation .

The legend tells the story of how Isaac Newton was resting under an apple tree . When an apple fell from the tree and hit him on the head, Newton suddenly discovered the Law of Gravity .

In reality, Newton observed how an apple fell from a tree towards the ground . This inspired him and made him start thinking . ‘Why do objects always fall downwards towards the Earth and not upwards towards the Sun?’ Using mathematical equations, Newton formulated one of the most important laws of physics . Thanks to the apple, this English scientist realised that there is an invisible force called gravity that attracts all objects towards the centre of the Earth .

Newton’s apple falls during Hurricane Gordon

At 10 o’clock this morning, a very strong wind caused the only apple growing on Newton’s apple tree this year

to fall to the ground. This tree was planted in front of the House of Science in A Coruña in honour of the great

17th century English scientist.

In 1666, the apple that Newton observed, fell straight to the ground towards the centre of the Earth. But today, the apple did not fall straight to the ground. Instead, it landed at some distance from the tree. This apple had two forces working on it at the same time: the force of gravity and the force of the strong winds of Hurricane Gordon.

Remember, gravity is not the only force of nature on Earth.

This is how it happened: at 3:00 p .m . on 26th October, the volcano Cumbre Vieja erupted . A deep, 200-metre-long crack opened up in the earth .

For three weeks, the earth continued to tremble . It seemed as though the eruption was never going to end . So much lava flowed out of the volcano’s cone and into the sea that it made the island larger .

Finally, on 18th November 1971, the eruption ended and the lava stopped flowing . Everything was calm again . Now, La Palma had a new mountain: the Teneguia .

In the year 2000, this area in the south of the province of Salamanca was declared Batuecas National Park . Its rich flora and fauna have fascinated people for at least four thousand years .

Approximately 4,000 years ago, prehistoric man admired the deep valleys, streams and waterfalls of this area . Many caves containing Neolithic paintings of animals, such as fish and mountain goats, have been found in the park . In the 15th century, Carmelite Monks founded a convent here because it was the ideal place for them to live a peaceful and solitary life .

Several rivers pass through the park . The Rivers Francia, Alagon and Batuecas all belong to the Tagus river basin . The River Agadon is part of the Duero river basin .

Along the River Batuecas is possibly the most beautiful spot: the Chorro Waterfall . It is ten metres high, and many people think it looks like paradise .

Today, Batuecas National Park is the home of many protected species: the wolf, the lynx, the royal eagle and the black stork .

Read and answer.

Why has the Spanish population aged in recent decades?

What is the life expectancy today for a baby born in Spain?

The Spanish population is getting older. What are some of the consequences? Give examples.

1

2

Spain is getting old . The number of people who are over 65 years old has been increasing in recent decades .

At the beginning of the 20th Century, five out of every 100 Spaniards were over 65 . Today, 17 percent of the population is over 65 .

This percentage will continue to increase in the coming years . It is estimated that in the year 2020, twenty percent of the Spanish population will be over 65 .

There are two reasons for this:

Lower birth rate: in the last 50 years, the birth rate has gone from five children per woman to 1 .4 children per woman .

Higher life expectancy: in other words, people are living longer . In 1900, a person born in Spain could expect to live an average of 35 years . Today, the average life expectancy in Spain is 81 years .

Name four of the national institutions of Spain .

How is Spain’s territory organised?

1

In December 1978, the Spanish people approved the Constitution by referendum . The Constitution is the most important law in Spain . It guarantees freedom and equality for all citizens . It also guarantees political pluralism . In addition, it includes the national institutions, the form of government and the organisation of Spain’s territory .

Spanish territory is organised in municipalities, provinces and Autonomous Communities .

Every Spanish citizen lives in a municipality . The municipality belongs to a province, and the province belongs to an Autonomous Community .

Several municipalities in the same region which share similar characteristics can be grouped into a comarca.

In Spain, there are 17 Autonomous Communities and two Autonomous Cities: Ceuta and Melilla .

How was the Roman army organised? Look at the organigram and complete the key.1

The Roman legions made the Roman Empire great . Most legionaries were well-trained and disciplined professional soldiers . They made up the best army of their day, and they were very successful . They steadily conquered new territories . At one point, Rome controlled the Mediterranean Sea, part of central Europe and even the British Isles .

The main division of the army was the legion . Each legion had about 6,000 elite soldiers . A legion was divided into ten cohorts led by a senior officer called a legate . Each cohort was made up of 600 soldiers who were led by another senior officer . These cohorts were then divided again into three maniples with about 200 legionaries in each one .

Finally, each maniple was made up of two centuries each containing a hundred men . Centurions were in charge of both the centuries and the maniples .

What have been the main destinations of pilgrimages since the Middle Ages?

Why do people make pilgrimages to these places?

1

A pilgrim is a believer who travels long distances to visit a sacred place . Since the Middle Ages, Jerusalem, Rome and Santiago de Compostela have been the main destinations of pilgrimages . The passion and crucifixion of Jesus Christ happened in Jerusalem . Rome is home to the Pope and the place where Saint Peter died . It is believed that the remains of the apostle Saint James are buried in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela .

For centuries, pilgrims have walked the Way of St James to Compostela to show their devotion to St James . This journey can often take months . During the reign of the Catholic Monarchs, pilgrims from all over Europe walked Way of St James . On their journey, they slept in monasteries, hospitals and inns .

Since the Middle Ages, the Way of St James has had several routes:

The French Way starts in Saint Jean Pied de Port, France . It crosses Navarre, Rioja, Castile-Leon and Galicia .

The Northern Way starts at the French border in Irun . It goes along the Cantabrian coast .

The Primitive Way starts in Asturias and passes through Lugo, where it joins the last part of the French Way .

The Silver Way starts in Andalusia . It crosses Extremadura, Castile-Leon, and southern Galicia .

When pilgrims arrive at the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, they go through the western entrance, through the beautiful Portico de la Gloria .

This is when a gas becomes a solid, without first becoming a liquid. For example, when air saturated with water vapour is cooled, it forms frost.

22 MOVEMENT AND SPEED

1. Answer the questions.

•What makes a body move, change direction or stop? A body moves, changes direction or stops when a force acts upon it.

•How is speed calculated? To calculate speed, we divide the distance by the time it takes to travel this distance.

2. Describe what is happening in the picture. M.A.

The ball is moving. Friction between the ball and ground makes the ball slow down. Friction is a force between two surfaces that slows down moving objects. Eventually, the ball will stop.

3. Calculate the answer.

If a car takes four hours to travel 300 kilometres, its speed is 300 divided by 4: 75 kilometres per hour.

23 GRAVITY AND MOVEMENT

1. Circle the correct word and write the complete sentence.

•Gravity is the force which attracts all bodies towards the Earth’s surface.

•When you throw a ball, gravity pushes the ball downwards.

2. Explain what is happening to this moving ball M.A.

The force you use to throw a ball pushes the ball forward and applies speed to it. At the same time, gravity pushes the ball downwards. It starts to move downwards, faster and faster. The result of these two movements makes the ball move in a curved direction.
