Study Notes

Grade 4 Science - Q2 Periodic Test

  • Skeletal System: Composed of all the bones in the body.

  • Muscular System: Important for supporting the body and enabling movement (e.g., lifting).

  • Respiratory System: Involved in gas exchange (oxygen and carbon dioxide). Quick responses to stimuli like touching a hot stove rely on this system.

  • Digestive System: Responsible for breaking down food to be absorbed by the body. A full feeling after a meal is related to this.

  • Circulatory System: Transports oxygen and nutrients to the body. Important in activities like running a marathon where the body needs consistent oxygen and nutrient supply for the muscles.

  • Body's Functions: The muscles facilitate lifting, the skeletal system supports, the respiratory system facilitates gas exchange, and the digestive system breaks down food.

  • Functions of Systems: Bones support and protect. Breathing rapidly to fuel muscles may mean the circulatory system is working hard. A body's reaction to a hot stove is a function of the muscular system.
    Digestion leads to a feeling of fullness.

  • Plant Systems: Roots absorb water and nutrients, shoots capture sunlight for photosynthesis, enabling plant growth.

  • Trophic Levels: Energy flows through organisms, and a portion is transferred to the next level.

  • Food Chain/Web: Understanding the relationships (herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, producers, decomposers) within ecosystems. Herbivores eat plants, carnivores eat animals, and omnivores eat both plants and animals.

  • Habitat and Adaptation: Plants and animals adapt to their environments (e.g., plants thrive in areas with rich soil and ample sunshine.)

  • Organism Groups: Different organism groups live according to their needs and environments

  • Organ Systems: The body contains organ systems—groups of organs that work together to do a particular job.

  • Metamorphosis: The process of change in the form of living organisms (some insects, frogs, etc.).

  • Organisms:

    • Examples of organisms found in different habitats.
    • Differentiating between omnivores, carnivores, and herbivores.
  • Question Types: The test covers questions relating to organ systems, plant structure, trophic levels, food chains/webs, habitats, adaptations, and the categorisation of organisms.
