Lesson 44: Effect of Force on the Shape of an


Object
LESSON GUIDE
Force is either a push or a pull on an object. Magnets, gravity and friction
can also cause things to move. Force can change the shape, size or movement of
an object. Pushing, pounding, compressing, bending, twisting, stretching or
squeezing are some ways of changing the shape of an object.
Energy is the ability to do work. Light, heat and sound are forms of energy.
They travel using various objects.

LESSON GUIDE
Magnets have invisible magnetic field which attracts objects made of iron
and nickel. Magnets can attract materials made of nickel, iron and cobalt.
Materials which are non-metal are not attracted to magnet.
One end of a magnet is the North Pole, and the opposite is the South Pole.
There are several types of magnets like ring magnets, rectangular magnets, bar
magnet, and horseshoe magnet.

Lesson 49: Force Exerted by Magnets


LESSON GUIDE
Magnets have North and South Poles. When magnets with opposite poles
face each other, they attract. Therefore, they move towards the other. If like poles
face each other, they repel or push each other away. Thus, similar poles repel,
and opposite poles attract. This push and pull of magnet is called magnetism.

PUPIL’S ACTIVITY

and finish line.

Game Title: Amazing Race

kind and size. The players will push the magnet towards the finish line without
touching the other magnet. The first one to reach the finish line wins!

Lesson 50: Heat, Transfer in Solid Materials


LESSON GUIDE
Heat is a form of energy associated with the motion of particles and capable
of being transmitted through solid and liquid media by conduction, convection
and through empty space by radiation.
As a thermal energy, it is transferred between bodies of different
temperature. Heat transfers from a body of high temperature (hot) to a body with
low temperature (cold).

Methods of Heat Transfer


1. Conduction- heat transfer in solid materials

2. Convection- heat travels in air or water

3. Radiation- heat is transmitted across empty space or vacuum

Lesson 51: The Path of Light


LESSON GUIDE

Light always travels in a straight line when going through a single medium.
A medium is any substance through which a light wave can travel. Light travels
quickly in air. Light travels slowly in water and glass.
A laser is a narrow but powerful bean of light. It can travel long distances
and still focus on a small area. It is used to store information on a CD, used to
read bar codes, used in printers and scanners, used to cut, drill and bond
materials in industries, and used to treat certain diseases. Never aim a toy laser
to the eyes of a person.
Optical fibers are very thin glass or plastic fibers that are bundled together
in a coated, flexible tube. It is made from transparent materials that transmit
visible, ultraviolet and infrared light. It is used in communication, medicine and
industry.

Lesson 52: How Sound Travels in Different


Materials
LESSON GUIDE
Sound is a form of energy. When objects make sound, they move back and
forth. This movement is called vibration. Without vibration, there will be no
sound.
A sound wave travels at different speed through different media. Sound
wave is created in response to a vibration and how easily they move back to their
original position. Another cause is how strongly the particles are attached or
attracted to each other.
Slow moving wave (slow music)

Fast moving wave (fast music)

No more waves

Lesson 53: Investigating the Properties of


Light
LESSON GUIDE
Light travels in straight lines. Sometimes it bounces back into the direction
of the source. We call this reflection. Water, windows, shiny metal, and mirrors
reflect light.
When light passes from one material into a second material like mirror or
water, the light path is either bent or reflected back.
Refraction, on the other hand is the bending of light as it travels from one
type of material to another like from air to water.
The rainbow are colors that come from the light of the sun. A rainbow is
formed when the light from the sun passes through raindrops. That is why we
see rainbow after it rained. A rainbow is the result of sunlight breaking into
different colors.

Lesson 54: Investigating the Properties of


Sound
LESSON GUIDE
The loudness of a sound refers to how strong the sound seems to us when
it reaches our ears. Loud sound also means intense sound. The application of a
stronger force causes louder volume of sound like the rumbling thunder. A lesser
force makes a softer sound. Sound does not lose some of its energy as it travels
through the air, it spreads outward in all directions from the sources. So the
loudness of a sound decreases between a person and the source of the sound.
The softness and/or loudness of sound is called volume.
Sound is an energy made by vibrations. When any object vibrates, it
causes movement in the air particles. These particles bump into the particles
close to them, which makes them vibrate too causing them to bump into the
particles. This movement, called sound waves, keeps going until they run out of
energy. If your ear is within range of the vibrations, you hear the sound. When
the vibrations are fast, you hear a loud sound. When the vibrations are slow, the
sound is soft.
Noise is any undesirable sound which disturbs the activities of human or
animal life. Often it is not the pitch or the loudness that makes a sound
annoying. Sometimes it is the repetitive nature of the sound and our inability to
control it that makes it annoying.

Lesson 55: Investigating the Characteristics


of Sound
LESSON GUIDE
A sound wave travels at different speed through different media. As it
travels, it often bumps into objects it encounter. If it heats a hard smooth surface
the wave reflects. The means that the sound bounces back. The sound wave that
bounces back is called an echo.
We don’t always hear echoes because of the following reasons:
1. The original sound maybe too weak.
2. The surface absorbs, rather than reflects the sound.
3. The reflecting surface is too small.

Echolocation is the transmission of sound waves to locate objects. Bats


rely on echolocation to help them find food. Whales use echoes to move and find
their way through the murky depths of the deep ocean. They send out high-
pitched sounds which bounced off an object and return to the whale. The whale
can then determine how far the distance, determine texture, shape, and size of
the object. This helps them in deciding where the prey and the different objects
around the ocean are located. Mammals like whales, dolphins and bats use
echolocation.
Echoes must be loud enough to return to the animals and short enough
so that the echo of the sender returns back to the animal or human before the
next one is sent out.
