1) Students able to differentiate the types of organs.
2) Students able to understand the functions of organs.

This content are attached with pictures and videos in order to make the students improve the learning process and their grades.

Topic that will be learn 1:
- Types of organs in human body.








This video will shows and explained the types of organs.


Topic that will be learn 2:
- Function of internal organs.



The brain
- The brain is the control centre of the nervous system and is located within the skull. Its functions include muscle control and coordination, sensory reception and integration, speech production, memory storage, and the elaboration of thought and emotion.




The lungs
 - The lungs are two sponge-like, cone-shaped structures that fill most of the chest cavity. Their essential function is to provide oxygen from inhaled air to the bloodstream and to exhale carbon dioxide.




The liver
- The liver lies on the right side of the abdominal cavity beneath the diaphragm. Its main function is to process the contents of the blood to ensure composition remains the same. This process involves breaking down fats, producing urea, filtering harmful substances and maintaining a proper level of glucose in the blood.



The bladder
- The bladder is a muscular organ located in the pelvic cavity. It stretches to store urine and contracts to release urine.



The kidneys
- The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs located at the back of the abdominal cavity, one on each side of the spinal column. Their function is to maintain the body’s chemical balance by excreting waste products and excess fluid in the form of urine.




The heart
- The heart is a hollow, muscular organ that pumps blood through the blood vessels by repeated, rhythmic contractions.




The stomach
- The stomach is a muscular, elastic, pear-shaped bag, lying crosswise in the abdominal cavity beneath the diaphragm. Its main purpose is digestion of food through production of gastric juices which break down, mix and churn the food into a thin liquid.




The intestines
- The intestines are located between the stomach and the anus and are divided into two major sections: the small intestine and the large intestine. The function of the small intestine is to absorb most ingested food. The large intestine is responsible for absorption of water and excretion of solid waste material.

Science Subject (States of Matter)

Chapter 8: Year 5

Topic title: States of Matter.


The objectives of this lesson is:
1) In this topic, students able to differentiate and describe the states of matter.
2) Student able to understands the characteristics of gas, liquid and solid.

This content will attached with pictures and videos in order to help the student to engage better in a classroom and learn in fun ways.

Topic that will be learn:
- States of matter.

There are 3 basic states of matter such as the solid, liquid and gas.

1) Solid

  • A solid is anything that holds a particular size and shape. 
  • An apple, a block of wood, and a penny are all solids.
  • The particles in a solid are tightly packed and don't make a lot of movements.
  • There is not much free space in between the particles, so there is very little room for the particles to move.
  • Solid have mass.


Ice is an example of solid



Apple is another example of solid


2) Liquid
  • A liquid is anything that has size or volume, but does not have a shape
  • Liquids must be contained in a cup, bottle or receptacle in order to have a shape.
  • Milk, water and juice are liquids.
  • Liquids particles are not so close together as particles of solid.
  • They move around and past each other much more freely.
  • They have no regular shape or arrangement and move freely.
  • Liquid have mass.


Milk is an example for liquid



Another example of liquid is water



 3) Gas


  • Gases are hard to identify because they have no colour or shape.
  • It has no shape or size.
  • Take a deep breath and feel your lungs get bigger, your lungs are filling up with air, and air is a combination of many gases.
  • The particles in a gas move freely at high speeds.
  • There is a lot of free space in between the particles, and they take shape of any container.
  • Gases have mass.



The presence of gas



6 important factors that affect evaporation are :



1) Wind assists evaporation; for example in clothes dry faster under a fan.

2) Heat assists evaporation; for example, in summer clothes dry faster than in winter.

3) Increase in surface area exposed assists evaporation; for instance, a wet cloth spread out dries faster than when folded.

4) Dryness assists evaporation; for instance, clothes dry faster in summer than during the monsoon when the air is humid.

5) Rate of evaporation depends upon the nature of the liquid; for example, petrol evaporates faster than water.

6) Vapor pressure: if pressure is applied on the surface of a liquid, evaporation is hindered; consider, for example, the case of a pressure cooker.


.


This video will shows about the explanation of evaporation


Changing states of matter

A simple example is water. If you have a block of ice, you have solid water. Add heat (a form of energy) and the ice melts into liquid water that you could drink (it has reached its melting point). Continue to apply heat, and the water will evaporate and turn into steam, which is water in a gaseous state (it has reached boiling point). This works backwards, too. Gas can cool down (by losing energy) and condense back into liquid water and cool down further into a solid. There is even a process called sublimation where a solid can turn straight into a gas when heat is applied.
Changes of state are physical changes in matter. They are reversible changes that do not involve changes in matter’s chemical makeup or chemical properties. Common changes of state include melting, freezing, sublimation, deposition, condensation, and vaporization. These changes are shown in Figure below. Each is described in detail below.







The 2 videos will explain about changing states of matter


Teacher used ISSU as the creativity tool for the students in order to learn. Besides that, this tool really help the learning more enjoyable and structuring a lesson become lot easier.

This content attached with pictures and videos so that the student will be increase in the level of motivation and engagement in the classroom.


         Once upon a time, there was a young man called Billy. One day, his mother asked him to find a job. On the first day, he worked for a shoemaker. The shoemaker paid Billy some coins. Billy held them in his hand and walked home. On his way home, he met his neighbour. When he was waving at him, the coins fell out and rolled away.
        On the second day, he worked for a farmer. The farmer gave him a jug of porridge. He poured the porridge into his pocket. When he was walking home, the porridge ran all the way down his trousers.
         On the third day, he worked for a butcher. The butcher gave him a small goat. Billy put the goat on his shoulder. The goat jumped down and got away.
      On the fourth day, he worked for a baker. The baker gave him a long loaf of bread. He tied a string to it and carried it home. Some street dogs smelt the bread, chased it and ate it.
       The next day, he worked for a fisherman. The fisherman paid him a fish. However, he did not take the fish home. He was happy that day because he thought he was
cleverer this time.

Questions.
1) What is Ben's job?
2)  What happened when he was waving at neighbour?
3)  What happened on the fourth day?
4)  What Ben do on the fourth day?


Reading comprehension tips and reading strategies.

1) Read early in the day: This will allow you to concentrate and retain more information than studying later at night when you may be tired. When tired, your concentration and comprehension will be compromise.

2) Read for short bursts: Try to read for 35 to 40 minutes at a time and then take a short break. If you have this as your reading goal, it can serve as a motivator in trying to really focus on the material at hand. Try to make these “bursts” quality reading time.

3) Find a quiet location: Try to avoid your dorm room or lounge. There are too many distractions to disrupt your focus.

4) Monitor your comprehension: Ask yourself every once in a while, “What have I learned?” If you are having trouble answering this question, re-read the material, ask a classmate, or ask the professor for some clarification.

5) Annotate.  Be sure to underline, circle, or make general notes in the margins.  Create your own guide to distinguish between important terms or information that you need to clarify.

6) Try skimming the chapter first: Take a look at the title page, preface, subtitles, the introduction, and the chapter summary before reading the entire chapter.


This is another example of comprehension with question
