Study Notes
States of Matter
- Air does not have a definite shape and takes the shape of its container.
- Ice maintains a definite shape as a solid.
- Petrol, while a liquid, can shape itself to its container but also flows freely.
- Paper retains a definite shape, irrespective of being placed in a container.
Healthy Digestive System
- Drinking clean water is essential for maintaining a healthy digestive system.
- Brushing teeth is important for oral hygiene, not directly related to digestion.
- Wearing face masks and gloves may prevent contamination but do not impact digestive health.
Functions of Plant Parts
- Leaves are responsible for photosynthesis, enabling plants to make their food.
- Flowers have reproductive functions.
- Branches provide structure and support but do not produce food.
- Roots primarily absorb water and nutrients from the soil.
Floating and Sinking Experiment
- A stone sinks when placed in water; other objects like a pin can also sink.
- A feather, paper, and wood are less dense and will typically float on water.
Types of Plants
- Non-flowering plants include fungi like mushrooms.
- Flowering plants can reproduce with flowers and include beans, kales, and mangoes.
Animal Characteristics
- Animals that breathe through lungs are typically mammals or birds.
- Animals breathing through gills are usually aquatic, like fish.
- Warm-blooded animals regulate their body temperature internally.
- Moist skin is characteristic of amphibians, allowing respiration through the skin.
Vertebrate Groups
- Birds belong to the vertebrate group that has beaks.
- Reptiles, amphibians, and mammals do not have beaks as a common characteristic.

- Water and mineral salts are primarily absorbed in the large intestines.
- The rectum stores waste before excretion, while the stomach and small intestines perform different digestive tasks.
