P Prreeffa accee Science plays an important role in our daily life. Science, with the aid of creativity, has produced various instruments and appliances that facilitate the running of our lives and the performance of our works. Science demands the development of our thinking skills in various aspects such as logical, analytical and critical. Science also requires us to develop the investigative skills that are essential for enquiring knowledge, making decisions and solving problems based on available data and evidences. Science is essential to the forming of a modern knowledgeable society. Therefore, all of us need to be provided with scientific knowledge in order to gain an understanding of nature as well as man-made technologies and to apply them by creative and moral means for constructive and productive purposes. The Basic Education Core Curriculum aims to inculcate the following five key competencies among students: 1.
Communication Skill
2.
Thinking Skill
3.
Problem – Solving Skill
4.
Technology Application Skill
5.
Technological Application Skill
The learning objectives emphasize on the linking of knowledge to science processes, acquiring of investigative skills, accumulation of knowledge through investigative processes, and problem-solving.

7. Guide students to write quantities in the prefixed and standard forms. Refer to page 14. 8. Besides the five physical quantities mentioned, there are actually seven basic physical quantities (including amount of substance and luminous intensity). From these basic quantities, we can obtain many other derived physical quantities such as area, volume, velocity and pressure. For example, velocity = length / time. 9. Ask students to do Question 3 on page 7 of the workbook as their homework. 10.Have students try Test Yourself 1.4 and discuss the answers with them. 11th hour (The Concept of Mass) 1. Explain that mass and weight are different. The mass of an object is the amount of matter it contains. The more matter it has, the greater its mass. The weight is a force caused by the gravity. So, the weight of an object is the pull of the gravity on the object towards the center of the Earth. The more mass an object has, the greater its weight will be. Tell students that in outer space, we weigh almost nothing because there is no gravity, but our masses remain the same. 2. Emphasize that the units and the measurement tools are different for both weight and mass. Refer to the table on page 16. 3. Ask students to do Questions 1 and 2 on pages 7 and 8 of the workbook as their homework. 4.

Notes: Strand 8: Nature of Science and Technology is inculcated in all the activities appearing in all the chapters. Through the activities, students will learn to • pose questions about the matter studied as prescribed or in accord with their interests. • plan for observation, exploration, verification, study and research by using their own ideas and those of their teachers. • use suitable materials, instruments for exploration and verification and record results using simple methods. • arrange data obtained from exploration and verification into groups and present results. • express opinions in the course of exploration and verification. • make a record and explain results of the exploration and verification by drawing pictures or writing short texts. • verbally present their work to understand.
