Scientists use lots of different types of equipment during their investigations. Here are some examples:

Scientific Equipment
A force meter
measures forces.
Safety glasses protect the eyes
during an experiment.
A microscope lets us see small objects
in closer detail.
Thermometers measure
temperature.
A telescope lets us see objects that
are far away.
Bunsen burners are used to heat
materials.Test tubes hold different materials.
Stopwatches measure how long
things take.

Movement Reproduction
Sensitivity
Nutrition
ExcretionAnimals and plants get rid of their waste.
RespirationPlants and animals make energy using oxygen (from the air) and glucose(a kindof sugar).
Growth
Life ProcessesAnimals and
plants are living organisms.They all do these life
processes.
Animals move
from one place to another.
Leaves and flowers turn
towardslight.
Animals have babies(e.g. puppies and kittens).
Plants have seeds
which grow into new plants.
Animals eat plants or
other animals.
Green plants make their own
food using sunlight.
All living things grow.
Living things are sensitive to their environment.
Bats have a very good sense of hearing.
A Venus Flytrap can detect
movement on its inner surfaces.
Animals excrete
waste in their urine, sweat and breath.
Plants produce oxygen during
photosynthesis.

Skeletons are made up of bones and joints (where the bones meet). Skeletons protect and support the body. They help the body to move too.

Skeletons
A dog’s skeleton.
A dolphin’s skeleton.
Some animals, like insects, crabs and lobsters have an exoskeleton. This means that their skeleton is on the outside of their body!
Skull(protects the brain)
Snails, earthworms, jellyfish, tapeworms, squids and some other animals have no bones at all!
Ribs(protect
the heart and lungs)
Pelvis
Collar Bone
Shoulder Blade
Thigh Bone
Knee Cap
Shin Bone
Foot Bones
Hand Bones
Spine

Plants A plant has four main parts and each one does a different job:
FlowerThe flower is the part of the plant that is needed for reproduction. It contains pollen and eggs, which make seeds to make new plants.
LeavesLeaves are required for nutrition. A process called photosynthesis creates food for the plant in them.
StemThe stem holds the plant and moves it towards the light.It also transports food and water around the plant.
Roots (and root hairs)These soak up water and nutrients from the soil. They also anchor the plant in the ground, so that it doesn’t blow over.
Did you know...?The petals on flowers are colourful and scented to
attract insects.If a plant is not pollinated by the wind, it does not
have petals.

GerminationGermination is when seeds start to grow. A seed needs water, oxygen (from the air) and warmth to grow.
The seed cracks and a small root grows down into the soil.
A tiny shoot starts to grow up. The root
and root hairs grow.
The shoot grows up towards the light.
Green leaves start to grow so that the plant can start to
make its own food.
Do seeds need light to germinate?
No. Seeds have their own store of
food. They use this to grow until their
leaves have developed.

MaterialsThere are lots of different types of materials and they all have different properties. They can be...
How would you describe these materials?Images: © ThinkStock

SoilSoil is usually made from four things:
(Humus is dead and rotting material from plants and animals)
We use soil to grow plants for food. It is also full of worms, insects and microbes that help to break down dead plants and animals.
There are different types of soils. Here are a few:Sandy Soil
• Pale coloured.• Has lots of small air gaps.• Usually feels dry because water drains through it quickly.
Clay Soil• Orange or blue-ish sticky soil.• Few air gaps.• Water does not drain through it easily, so puddles collect on top.
Chalky Soil• Light brown soil.• Water drains through it quickly.
Peat• Dark and crumbly.• Does not contain any rock.• Made from old decayed plants.

These are NOT light sources. Can you explain why?

LightLight sources give out light.
Here are some examples:
CircuitsElectricity can only flow if there is a complete circuit. It travels from a power source (like a battery or cell), flowing around the circuit, through the components, then back to the power source.
© www.teachingpacks.co.uk
Complete CircuitThe components (cell, wires and bulb)
are all connected without any gaps, so the bulb lights.
Broken CircuitThere is a gap in the circuit.
The electricity cannot flow all the way round, so the bulb does not light up.

Did you know that cells have positive (+) and
negative (-) ends?
The wires in a complete circuit
have to be connected to both ends.

MagnetsMagnets and magnetic materials create pulling and pushing forces on each other when they are close. They attract or repel each other.

Different poles attractTwo magnets with different polespointing towards one another will
pull towards (or attract) each other.
Same poles repelTwo magnets with the same polespointing towards one another will
push away from (or repel) each other.
