2. Who is scientist?
A person who studies science is called scientist.
3. What is laboratory?
A laboratory is a place where a scientist works and uses many instrument.
2. What is an organism?
An organism is a living thing.
6. What is respiration?
It is a process by which we take oxygen from the air. This oxygen combines with
food and produces the energy. Carbon dioxide is produced during this process.
7. What is excretion?
The process by which waste and poisonous materials are removed from the body is
called excretion.
Unit 3 water
1. What is composition of water? Write its chemical
formula?
Water is the made up of two gases, oxygen, and hydrogen. Its chemical formula is
H2O.
∗ Freezing.
When water is cooled, it freezes into form of ice. This is called freezing.
Unit 4 Air
1. What is the atmosphere?
The earth is surrounded by a layer of air which is like a huge ocean. It extends to
almost hundreds of kilometers above the surface of the earth. This ocean of air is
called the atmosphere.
Unit 5 Pollution
1. What does the earth give us?
The Earth gives us everything we need to live. It gives us air to breathe, food to eat
and water to drink. It gives us materials for our clothes and for building our houses.
Farmers grow crops to give us the food that we need.
2. What are the things that have a bad effect on the earth?
The number of people living on the Earth is increasing. In order to fulfill the needs
of all people, we are trying to grow more and more crops. We are cutting down
trees to build houses and roads. We are building new factories and industries. All
these things are having a very bad effect on the Earth.
Farmers grow crops to give us the food that we need. By growing more and more
crops on the same land for many years the plants use up the important minerals in
the soil. The soil cannot grow plants any more.
Unit 6 Energy
1. What is energy?
Energy is the Capacity of matter to perform work as the result of its motion or its
position in relation to forces acting on it.
Energy is the ability or power to do a particular work.
Unit 7 Electricity
Incandescent Lamp
In an incandescent lamp, electric current flows through a thin
tungsten wire called a filament. The current heats the filament to
about 3000°C (5400°F), which causes it to emit both heat and
light. The bulb must be filled with an inert gas to prevent the
filament from burning out. For many years incandescent lamps
were filled with a mixture of nitrogen and argon. Recently the
gas krypton has been used because it allows the filament to
operate at a higher temperature, which produces a brighter light.
Unit 8 Magnetism
1. What is an atom made up of?
Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons and electrons.
5. What is lightning?
When positive and negative charges in the clouds jump towards each other through
the air. The electric Current makes a spark which is seen as a flash of lightning.
8. What is magnetism?
Magnetism is a force which appears between magnets and magnetic materials like
steel and iron. For example, a magnet will attract steel pins and iron nails brought
near it.

the
atmosphere has weather? How high is it?
The atmosphere can be divided into a series of layers, each layer based on the air
temperature at different altitudes.
7. What is a thermal?
When air heats up it expands and becomes lighter then begins to rise. This rising
air is called a thermal.
3. What is a galaxy?
An island of stars spinning through space is called a galaxy.
7. What is an asteroid?
An asteroid is a lump of rocky material in space. They are going around the Sun in
their own orbits like small planets.
