LIGHT
MATTER AND ENERGY
Light is everywhere. The sun give us
light during the day. At night, we see
Matter has weight and volume. stars and the moon.

Energy does not have weight and Sun is 150 million kilometers from
volume. It is the ability to do work. the earth. It take only 8 minutes for
light from the sun to reach the earth.

Uses of Energy Light moves from a straight line.

This is the reason why the light passes
1. Ability to do work. through the slit is straight.
2. It gives light.
3. Gives power to vehicles and - light also bends as it travels
machines. from one thing to another.
4. It keeps us warm. - light travels in air faster than in
5. Without energy, there would be no water.
sound. - light travels slower in thicker
substances.
Forms of Energy
Refraction is the bending of light.
1. Heat
2. Sound Reflection when light hits a smooth
3. Light and shiny object, it bounces back.

HEAT Mirror reflects light. It is special

because you can also see images.
Heat is a form of energy that warm
ourselves and help us cook food. Light and Objects

Sun is the main source of heat and Shadow because light travel in
light. It keeps us warms. It dries our straight line and when the light is
clothes. It also helps plants make food. blocked.

Other Sources of Heat and Light Silhouette outline of the light.

1. Electricity can also make heat
and light. Example. bulb and oven
2. Fuels are things that can make
fire.
Opaque objects that can block light.
Transparent objects that let light
pass through.
Ex. water, air, clean glass
Translucent some objects can block
some light. Objects that let small
amount of light pass through.
ex. frosted glass
Where Light Can Pass Through
Transparent materials glass, water
and plastic let most of the light pass
through them. This materials also
include air.
Translucent materials some
materials allow some light to pass
through just enough to see clearly.
This is because the light is scattered so
the things inside cannot be seen very
well.
Opaque materials some materials
do not allow light to pass through.
They block light. Ex. stone, wood,
cardboard and human body.
Light and Colors
Prism is a device that separates
white light and divides the light into
different colors.
Rainbow a black object absorbs all
colors. It is made when droplets of
rain act as prism.
SOUND
Sound is produced when something
vibrates.
Vibration is produced when
something moves back and forth.
Sound waves these vibration of
objects travel.
How Sound Travels
1. Solid
2. Liquid
3. Gas
Solid
- sound travels fast on substance
with molecules closed together.
The molecules of solids are
closely packed so they are the
best agent for sound.
- sounds travel fastest in solids
Liquids
- the particles of liquids are
farther apart than those in
solids.
- sounds travel slower in liquids
than in solids.
Air
- sounds travels slowest through
air.
- its not a good conductor of
sound because its particles or
molecules are much farther
apart as in liquids.
Pleasant and Unpleasant Sounds
Pleasant sounds are nice to hear
because the sound waves follow a
regular pattern.
Music it is also called pleasant
sound.
Some pleasant sounds we hear are
the
1. Sound produced by the different
musical instruments.
a. stringed instruments
b. wind instruments
c. percussion instruments
2. soft music
3. a soft toned music
4. a beautiful singing voice
5. the chirping of birds
Unpleasant sounds - do not follow a
regular pattern. Unpleasant is called
noise.
Ex. hammering of nails, running
motors, grinding of gravel, loud
talking and laughing
Echo
Echo - is a reflected sound. It is
formed when sound waves hi a solid
object and bounces back.
Force
The push or pull that makes a thing
move is called a force.
A push is a force away from your
body.
A pull is a force towards your body.
What can force do?
1. Force can change direction or
position of objects.
2. It can change the motion of an
object from stationary to moving.
3. Force can change the speed of
moving objects.
Kinds of Forces
A pull is one kind of force and a push
is another kind of force. However,
there are other forces that help make
things mode and do their work.
1. Wind Wind is moving air. It can
make things go and it can make thing
move.
2. Water Running water has force. It
can make objects move. Anything or
anyone who falls in running water
with very strong current will be
carried by its force.
3. Electricity Electricity has energy.
Energy from electricity makes some
objects do their work.
4. Gravity Gravity is the force that
pulls objects towards the ground. It is
the pull of the earth on objects.
5. Magnet ( Magnetic Force ) A
magnet is a very special object. It pulls
or attracts objects made of iron or
steel. It can also hold things up and
pick things up.
Inertia - the tendency of an object to
remain at rest to keep moving in the
same direction, unless an outside
force ac
ts it.
