Study Notes

Materials

  • Materials are used to make things around us
  • Different materials come from plants, the earth, and animals, or are man-made
  • Seven main material classes: wood, rock, metal, plastic, rubber, glass, fiber

Wood

  • Comes from trees
  • Hard
  • Used for houses, furniture, paper, and boxes

Rock

  • From the Earth's crust
  • Hard and strong
  • Includes stone, clay, and sand

Metal

  • From the Earth's crust
  • Hard, strong, and shiny
  • Can be shaped and bent

Plastic

  • Made from petroleum
  • Light, flexible, tough, and can be brittle
  • Used for kitchenware and electrical appliances

Rubber

  • Obtained from rubber trees
  • Elastic and soft
  • Cannot withstand heat
  • Used for tires, erasers, and balls

Glass

  • Obtained by heating sand and limestone
  • Transparent
  • Breaks easily
  • Used as windowpanes, glass bottles, and light bulbs

Fiber

  • Comes from cotton, jute, wool, and silk
  • Used for clothes, carpets, canvas, curtains, ropes, and school bags

Types of Materials

  • Natural materials: found naturally (e.g., logs, sand, rocks)
  • Man-made materials: made from natural materials (e.g., glass, plastic, paper, nylon)
  • Flexible materials: can be stretched, bent, twisted (e.g., erasers, rubber bands, gloves)

Material Changes

  • Heat can cause changes in materials
  • Temporary/Physical Change: the material changes state (solid, liquid, gas) but can go back (e.g., ice melting)
  • Permanent/Chemical Change: the material changes into a new material and cannot go back (e.g., wood burning)

Forces

  • A force can make things move or stop moving things
  • Simplest forces are push and pull
  • Forces can be large or small
  • Examples of forces: pushing, pulling, lifting, stretching, twisting, squeezing, pressing, bending
  • Forces can:
    • Start an object moving
    • Speed up a moving object
    • Change the direction of a moving object
    • Slow down a moving object
    • Change the shape of an object
    • Change the size of an object
    • Rotate an object
    • Stop a moving object

Types of Force

  • Muscular Force: force produced by muscles (people or animals)
  • Electric Force: force produced by rubbing (e.g., comb on hair attracting paper)
  • Magnetic Force: force used by a magnet to attract certain materials (e.g., iron nails)

Plants

  • Plants are living things needing air, water, food, and light
  • Many kinds of plants, some big, some small
  • Plant types: shrubs, herbs, creepers, trees
  • Plants grow in different places – land, water, even on buildings
  • Plant groupings: flowering plants (bear flowers, most fruits & veggies) and non-flowering plants
  • Plant parts and functions:
    • Roots: absorb water and minerals
    • Stem: transports water and minerals
    • Branches: support flowers and fruits
    • Leaves: make food through sunlight
    • Flowers: produce new young plants
    • Fruits: have seeds, protect seeds, seeds grow into new plants

Animals

  • Animals are grouped: by features, food, movement
  • Vertebrates: animals with a backbone (e.g., fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals)
  • Invertebrates: animals without a backbone (e.g., worms, spiders, insects)
  • Animal food groups: carnivores (meat), herbivores (plants), omnivores (both), insectivores (insects)
  • Animal movement: legs (running, crawling, climbing), wings (flying), fins (swimming), bodies (crawling, creeping), arms and legs (climbing, swinging, walking, running)
  • Food chains: show how living things get food & energy flows from one to another, starting with plants and ending with animals
  • Predator: an animal that hunts other animals for food
  • Prey: an animal that is hunted by a predator for food
