■ Hands on jawbone
Our bones
• Bones are hard and rigid. They are different in shape and size. For example, the bones in our fingers are small and short. The bones in our legs are big and long.
ulna
• Cartilage is soft and flexible. We have cartilage at the end of some of our bones, for example, our nose.

• Ss touch their hands and describe what they feel. Ask: What can you feel under the skin? Is there anything hard? What shape are the hard parts? Are they big? Can they move? • Tell the Ss that what they can feel are the bones. Ask them: What do you notice if you touch your index finger? It is in three sections, each with a bone.

A joint is a place where two bones meet. Some bones are joined together so closely that they cannot move, for example, the bones in the skull. Other bones have a special joint which means they can move.
wrist
• READ Present 1 with 16 . The Ss say if the following movements are voluntary or involuntary: Moving our hand away when we prick a finger (I). Raising your hand to ask a question (V). Opening a book (V). Closing your eyes when a fly is buzzing round (V or I). Your heartbeat (I).
Changes in the body. Children grow and become men and women. Ask Ss how the body of the boy in the photo will change as he grows. Then choose another photo in the book of a girl and ask how her body will change.

Our body
■ Special attention
• LOOK The Ss learn the names of parts of the body by looking at the photo of the boy and focussing on the highlighted words: head, limbs, trunk … The other words describe the parts which make up these three main sections. For example: The limbs are the arms and legs. The leg includes the knee and the ankle.
• A classroom experience, which is motivating and simple to do.
Parts of the body: Simon says
Ss study the names of parts of the body. They stand up. Say: Simon says touch your head. The Ss must obey the instructions. Then continue giving instructions to touch other parts of the body, beginning with the phrase: Simon says. Occasionally this phrase is omitted, which means the students must not obey the instructions. Any student who does, is out of the game and has to sit down. The winners are the Ss left standing.
Make more sentences. Change the underlined words. The shoulder is a joint in our arms.
M.A. The ankle is a joint in our legs. The wrist is a joint in our arms. The knee is a joint in our legs. The elbow is a joint in our arms.

• Ss touch their chest and find their ribs and sternum. Explain that these bones protect the lungs and heart.
■ CONTENT AND LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT 1 Names of bones. Make photocopies of the skeleton but erase the names of the bones. Ss study the names for 5 minutes. Then, without looking, they write them in the correct place. 2
• READ Present 1 and 2 with 18 and 19 . Ask: Are bones hard? Are they soft? What would happen if we didn’t have a skeleton? What would our body be like? (a sack, a balloon without air …).
Vocabulary game: Hangman
The Ss study the vocabulary related to the skeleton. Then one student chooses a word and writes on the BB the spaces for each letter, for example: _ _ _ _ (N E C K) The Ss say letters of the alphabet to guess the word. Correct letters are written in the spaces but if the letter is not in the word, the S at the board begins to draw the Hangman. When someone guesses the word correctly, it is their turn to choose a word.
• Suggest they learn the names of the bones by starting at the top of the head and working their way down to the feet, visualising the bones they are naming. • Present 3 with 20 . To illustrate the joints in the body refer the Ss to page 10 of the book. Then ask the Ss to do the activity. • LOOK Present with

Learning skills Techniques Various learning skills can help students to master the contents of Essential Science:
Memorisation
• To extract information, it is important to study the whole picture carefully as well as look at the details. • The students study the accompanying texts, which give the names of the different parts or functions.
Highlighted words
• To memorise new vocabulary, it is useful to associate the words with mental pictures, and then revise them in order. • In order to teach human bones, for example, ask students to begin with their head, and move downwards until they reach their feet. • Touching the corresponding parts of their bodies can help memorisation.
Photographs
• These are printed in bold. They highlight key points and vocabulary.
Experiments • Before an experiment begins, the students are asked to predict how they think it will end. • Students need to have a clear idea of an experiment’s different stages. • Point out the following:
• The photographs help students to obtain information. It can be helpful to ask the students to study a picture before they have read the caption or received any other external information. • Focus the students’ attention: What do you see in the photo? Can you see …? • Go on to analyse the picture systematically, highlighting all the details.
Drawings • These drawings represent parts of the human body, plants, etc. Some are realistic, while others are simplified. skull
sternum (breastbone)
• material they will need • initial situation • sequence of events • final result
Enquiry questions • Learning should never be a purely mechanical process. Questions can be used to elicit prior knowledge, and find out students’ ideas. • Students should be encouraged to predict what they will learn: What do you know about mammals? What do you think this unit / this page is going to be about? • Comparison questions encourage students to relate information from different sections: In what ways are … different from …? • This type of question should be adapted to the language level of the class.

ribs humerus
ulna
vertebra radius
pelvis
spinal column (backbone) femur
tibia
fibula
10
Activities • Initially, the activities at the bottom of the page should be done orally with the whole class. Later, most can be written down, either as homework or as whole class activites. This will help students to master the key concepts and language. • Some citizenship questions may be difficult for the students in English. It is advisable to begin by eliciting short, simple replies, for example, hearing, smell, taste and touch, in response to the question: What senses are very important to blind people?
857371 _ 0001-0015.qxd 12/7/06 14:11 Página 11
Recorded Material Some sections of each Unit are recorded on the Student’s CD. There is a more complete selection of texts on the Class CD. • The listening exercises can be used in the presentation stage of the Unit. • Students should listen to the recording at least twice before they check their answers. • The exercises can be corrected on the board, or by looking at the text in the book. • For revision purposes, the listening exercises can be used at the end of the unit to recycle vocabulary or revise the content. • At the end of each unit on the Class CD, there is an additional recorded text for use with higher level classes. • The recorded material will help students with the pronunciation of new language and vocabulary.
Essential Language The Essential Language section in the Student’s Book (pages 49 – 54), summarises the main functions and structures. Here are some practical suggestions for using this section:
Describing functions • Verbs, concrete nouns, abstract nouns: Students copy the tables into their notebooks. They test each other in pairs.
Defining • Prepositions of place: Students copy the texts, or use pencils to underline prepositions of place. In pairs they ask each other: Where is …?, and answer using the correct preposition. • Relative pronouns: Students identify examples of relative pronouns (who … which …). They write True / False sentences to test their partners, using relative pronouns to give correct or incorrect definitions.
Describing • Properties: verb to have: The students write affirmative and negative sentences. • Describing a process, using linking words: First, next, then, etc. The students find more examples of processes using these linkers in other units. • Landscapes: There is / there are + singular / plural nouns. Students find and underline more examples of this structure in other units. • The weather: Students write examples to describe the weather today, or in different seasons of the year.
Expressing facts • The Present Simple tense in the affirmative, negative, interrogative forms: Students underline examples of the structure in each unit, either copying the texts, or using pencils. • The verb to be born: The students ask and answer questions about how different animals are born. • Passive verb forms: Students identify the structure: verb to be + past participle, and write examples from each unit.

About this book Linking units and contents • Before students look at the Contents list, write a few titles on the left of the board: Living things; Our senses; Our body; The Earth; The landscape; Water and weather. • On the right, write, in a different order, some of the information about the titles: Animals and plants; Sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch; The skeleton; Solids, liquids and gases; Mountains and flat lands; The coast and the sea. • Students volunteer to go to the board and draw a line between a title and its information. • The students now have the list of contents (page ii of the Student’s Book), open in front of them. Draw on the board something to represent a title, for example, a dog (Unit 4), and a mountain (Unit 11). • Students guess which unit is referred to. Students then volunteer to draw other titles on the board, and the activity continues. They may also do this activity in pairs.

1. Living and non-living things
1
Everything around us can be put into two groups: living things and non-living things. • Living things are born, grow, eat, breathe and reproduce. People, animals and plants are all living things. • Non-living things do not eat or grow. The Sun and rocks are non-living things. Objects that people make, like tables or cars, are also non-living things. die
reproduce
2. The life cycle
2
• The use of photos is discussed in the Learning skills section on pages 10–11 of this Teacher’s Book.
The life of all living things has a beginning and an end. Some living things, like trees, have a very long life. Other living things, like insects, have a very short life. Living things are born, grow, relate to each other, reproduce and die. This process is called the life cycle.
EXPLANATIONS AND SYMBOLS
People are living things, and so we have a life cycle too.
• Explain that the students have their own Student’s CD.

• It is helpful if they sometimes listen to the recordings without using the Student’s Book. This sharpens their auditory capacity. • The recordings also help them to work on their pronunciation. • Further suggestions for exploiting the recording are given in the Learning skills section on pages 10–11.
Notes: ACTIVITIES • Some activities reinforce acquisition of the scientific contents. Others focus on citizenship reflection. • Suggestions for exploitation are given in the Learning skills section on pages 10–11.

Plants and animals are living things. How do they differ from each other? • Plants cannot move. They are fixed to the ground by their roots. Plants make their own food using water, minerals from the soil and sunlight. • Animals, including people, cannot make their own food. They need to eat plants and other animals. Animals can move from place to place. The heron can fly over the tree. However, the tree cannot move.
• Understanding that people belong to the animal group of living things • Understanding that plants make their own food • The use of the auxiliary verb do in the question form in the present simple tense
■ Hands on Animal and plant mobiles
COMPARE • Look at the photos. Choose one animal. How do you know it is an animal? Choose one plant. How do you know it is a plant?

LOOK
• Understanding that living things only live in places where there is everything they need
Look at this photo. Do bison live in hot or cold areas?
• Expressions of quantity: some, some of them, others
What do they need? (Think about water and plants.) Is pollution dangerous to these animals?
■ Hands on Earthworms • Take a jar containing soil and worms into class. Ask: How can we find out about living things? • Pour the contents of the jar carefully onto a piece of cardboard. Ss look closely at the worms and describe them. • Explain that the worms’ habitat is soil. They need humidity to live. They eat the remains of living things.
READ
1. Animal and plant habitats
A habitat is a place where a plant or animal lives. Different animals and plants live in different habitats. They need water, air, soil, sunlight and food in the places where they live. • Different living things have different needs. Some of them can only live in very cold places. Others can only live in very warm places. Some living things need a lot of water. Others can live without water for several days.

• Living things can live on land or in water. Sardines and water lilies live in water. Lions and trees live on land.
Polar bears live in very cold places.
• LOOK Tell the Ss that living things are related to the place where they live. Earth, water, air, temperature and sunlight are all important. Explain that living things must have everything they need to live. Pollution may be harmful to the bison’s drinking water, and to the plants they eat. • READ Ss look at the picture of the polar bears. Ask them: What colour are they? What colour is the place where they live? Do they have fur? A lot or a little? Polar bears have fur to protect them from the cold. Their fur is the same colour as the ice that surrounds them. Present 1 with 4 . The SS then read the text and do the activity.

• Understanding that all of the body is sensitive to touch but certain areas, such as the hands, are very sensitive. We use them to find out more about our surroundings
Imagine you are in this room. Your eyes are covered. What can you know?
• Understanding the infinitive of purpose: … to see, … in order to understand …

We sense things by touching them
1. The senses
• Bring a bag and several objects to class, for example, a sponge, crepe paper, shiny paper, a stone, a book, a pencil, a pencil sharpener and chalk. Before you show them to the class, ask: How can we find out about the senses? • Put one object in the bag at a time. Without looking at it, Ss take turns to put their hands in the bag, hold the object and describe it: It’s round. It’s soft … The other Ss try to guess what it is.
5
We need our senses in order to understand our surroundings. We have five senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. Each sense goes with an organ in the body. • We use our eyes to see. They are the organs of sight. • We use our ears to hear. They are the organs of hearing. • We use our nose to smell. It is our organ of smell. • We use our tongue to taste. It is our organ of taste. • We use our skin to feel. It is our organ of touch.
2. Touch The skin on our hands is very sensitive. We can use our hands to model a piece of clay.
Our body is completely covered by skin. Through our skin we feel cold, heat and pain. Some parts of our body are very sensitive. For example, the skin on our fingers is very sensitive. However, the skin on our legs is not so sensitive.
Make more sentences. Change the underlined words. We use our skin to feel.

The perception of smells • Place a glass of lavender water in the corner of the classroom. • Ask the Ss: What do you notice? Ss will notice the smell. Ask them to say when they first smell it, and to identify it. • Explain that as it evaporates, it spreads round the room. We notice it when it reaches our noses. • Ask the Ss to predict: What will happen after a while? (The Ss will stop being aware of the smell.)
READ
1. Taste We taste food and drink with our tongue. The surface of our tongue is full of small dots called taste buds. We use these to distinguish flavours. We distinguish four different flavours: sweet, salty, sour and bitter.
2. Smell When we breathe, air goes in through our nose. We also use our nose to distinguish different smells. Our nose is our organ of smell. They can taste the water melon. They can smell the flowers.
Animals can smell better than people. For example, dogs can find somebody who is lost by following a trail.

Ss study the names of parts of the body. They stand up. Say: Simon says touch your head. The Ss must obey the instructions. Then continue giving instructions to touch other parts of the body, beginning with the phrase: Simon says. Occasionally this phrase is omitted, which means the students must not obey the instructions. Any student who does, is out of the game and has to sit down. The winners are the Ss left standing.

A joint is a place where two bones meet. Some bones are joined together so closely that they cannot move, for example, the bones in the skull. Other bones have a special joint which means they can move. Our joints are important for movement:
pelvis
spinal column (backbone) femur

1. Animals and food
20
Animals are living things, so they need to eat food. We classify animals into three groups: herbivores, carnivores and omnivores. • Herbivores eat plants. They eat different parts of plants such as leaves, roots and fruit. Herbivores have special teeth to help them cut and chew plants. • Deer, cows and rabbits are herbivores. • Carnivores eat other animals. Carnivores hunt and eat meat. They have sharp teeth. They have excellent eyesight. • Foxes, eagles and lions are carnivores. • Omnivores eat plants and other animals. • Bears and chimpanzees are omnivores.
■ Presentation
Bears are omnivores. They eat fish, fruit and honey.

• READ Present 1 with 31 . Then ask the Ss to say if the animal is a herbivore or a carnivore. Elephants eat grass. (Elephants are herbivores.) Caterpillars eat leaves … Wolves eat rabbits … Otters eat fish … • Explain that an animal’s teeth or beak is adapted to the type of food it eats. Eagles have sharp, hooked beaks to eat meat. Cows have large, flat teeth to eat grass. ➔ R Activity Book, pages 13, 14.
3. Is a rabbit a herbivore? (yes) 4. What do carnivores eat? (other animals) 5. Name one animal that is a carnivore. (foxes, eagles, lions …) 6. What do omnivores eat? (plants and animals) 7. Is a chimpanzee a carnivore? (No. It is an omnivore.)
Poison traps. Sometimes poisoned meat is used to kill wild animals. This practice is cruel. The animal suffers before dying and other unintended victims are also killed.

1. How animals are born
We classify animals into two groups: viviparous animals and oviparous animals. This depends on how they are born.
■ Presentation
• Oviparous animals are born from eggs. The female animals lay the eggs. Some oviparous animals, like birds, then keep their eggs warm. Others, like sardines and flies, do not keep their eggs warm.
• LOOK Focus the attention of the Ss on the photos: Which are adult animals? Which are baby animals? What do you notice about them? Talk about the way animals look after their babies: Calves drink their mother’s milk; Birds put food in the baby’s beak; Female orangutans carry babies close to their bodies; Female leopards lick their cubs. • READ Present 1 and 2 with 32 and 33 . Point out that viviparous animals drink their mother’s milk when they are born and stay with their mother until they are able to look after themselves. However, some viviparous animals are independent and receive no care from their parents when they are born. ➔ R Activity Book, page 15. E➔

‘The fox, a very clever animal.’
2. How baby animals grow
21
• Viviparous animals are born live. Animals such as cats and dogs are viviparous.
Some oviparous animals are independent when they are born. For example, snakes leave their eggs. The baby snakes move around and find food. Other oviparous animals cannot look after themselves. For example, baby sparrows stay with their parents. The adult birds feed them and protect them. Viviparous animals depend on their mothers when they are babies. They drink their mother’s milk.
Make more sentences. Change the underlined words. Flies are oviparous animals.

1. Solids, liquids and gases
33
Everything is made up of matter. Matter is in one of three states: solid, liquid or gas. • Solids always keep their shape. • Rocks and metals are solids. • Liquids do not have a shape. Their shape depends on the container they are in. For example, water can change and take the shape of a glass or a bottle. • Water and perfume are liquids. Geysers are formed by liquid water and water vapour. These rise from inside the Earth up to the surface.
• Gases do not have a shape. Their shape also depends on the container they are in. If we burst a balloon, the air that was inside the balloon spreads quickly. • Air is a gas.

38
Drinking water is water that is safe for people to drink. There is a lot of water on the Earth, but not much drinking water. We cannot drink water from the sea because it has too much salt.
Drinking water is water that is safe to drink.
In some parts of the world, there is very little rainfall, and there are only a few rivers and reservoirs. The people who live in these dry areas, like Ethiopia, walk several kilometres every day to find drinking water. They take water from wells in the ground.
3. Water in our country In some areas it rains a lot. In other areas it rains very little, and there is not enough drinking water, especially in the summer.
We store water from rainfall in reservoirs.
Water from rainfall is stored in reservoirs. However, in very dry years there is not enough water in the reservoirs. We have to use less water.

1. The three states of water
■ Hands on
39
Water can be found in three different states: liquid, solid and gas. • The water we drink is liquid water. So is the water in the rivers, lakes and the sea. Clouds are made up of tiny drops of liquid water. • Ice, snow and hailstones are solid water. • Water vapour is a gas.
Water evaporates • Take a glass of water into the class. Add salt and stir to dissolve it. • Then pour the water onto several flat plastic plates. Put the plates in a warm place. Ask: What do you think will happen to the water? • After a while there will be no water on the plates, only salt crystals. • Explain that the water evaporated and the salt was left in a solid state on the plate.
2. Water can change states
40
Water can change from one state to another. When it is very cold, the drops of water freeze on the leaves. We call this frost.
• When liquid water gets very cold, it freezes and becomes a solid (ice, frost or snow). This is solidification. • When ice or snow gets warm, it becomes liquid water. This is melting. • When liquid water gets hot, it becomes water vapour. This is evaporation. • When water vapour gets cold, it becomes liquid water. This is condensation. It is condensation when windows steam up on a cold day.
Complete the sentence. The three states of water are liquid, ...
… solid and gas
■ Presentation • LOOK Ask Ss: Think about ice and rain. Can you compare them? What is ice? (solid water) What is rain? (liquid water) What is water vapour? (a gas) Water has different properties in each state. For example, when it is a gas (water vapour), it does not have its own shape but when it is a solid (ice), it does. • READ Present 1 and 2 with 59 and 60 . Ask Ss: What happens when we put water in the freezer? (The water freezes and becomes ice.) What happens when we remove the ice from the freezer? (The ice melts and becomes liquid water.)

• Ask the Ss to predict what will happen when you put an empty bottle into a container of water: What will you hear? (a sound) What will you see? (bubbles) Carry out the experiment. The bubbles are the air that was in the bottle. • When the water enters the bottle, the air escapes. Since air weighs less than water, bubbles rise to the surface.
42
Animals and plants need air to breathe. We can live for a few days without food. We can also live for a short time without water. However, we die if we cannot breathe. Some animals, such as whales and dolphins, live in water, and come to the surface to breathe. Fish have special organs called gills for breathing air in water.
2. Other uses of air Animals, like butterflies and birds, fly through air. People use air in many different ways. • There is air in the tyres of cars and bicycles. • There is air in the rubber rings that we use to learn to swim. • Air pushes sailing boats through water.

ovary petals
• Collective nouns: corolla, calyx
1. Flowers come out in the spring Plants do not have flowers all year round. When spring starts, new flowers appear. Flowers grow from stems.
2. Flowers have different parts
■ Hands on
Most flowers have petals, sepals, ovaries and stamens.
sepals
• The petals are the coloured part of the flower. All the petals together are the corolla.
Changing flowers
corolla
• First, put some blue food colouring in a vase one quarter full of water. • Then, put several white carnations in the vase. Cut the stems at an angle. Ask the Ss: What will happen to the flowers? (They will turn blue.) • After a while the carnations will turn blue. • Explain that the blue colouring travels up the stem of the flowers. This is how water in the ground rises from the roots and is distributed to all parts of the plant.
closed calyx

open calyx
• The sepals are the small green leaves which protect the flower before it opens. All the sepals together are the calyx. • The stamens and the ovary are in the middle of the flower. The stamens make pollen, and the ovary makes ovules. • When a male pollen joins with a female ovule, a seed is made.
LOOK AND READ Bees depend on flowers Pollen is at the ends of the stamen. Nectar is in the middle of the corolla.
Flowers are essential for bees. They collect nectar and pollen from flowers.
■ Presentation • LOOK Explain that the drawing represents a cross-section of a flower. Ask Ss to compare the drawing and the picture of the carnation. You can see a bud on the left. The calyx is closed to protect the flower. We only see the petals when the flower is open; the stamens and the ovary are hidden by the petals.

• Use a globe or atlas to show some important rivers (Orinoco, Nile, Danube …). Ask: Do you know any important rivers? Where are they? • Ask Ss to look at the length and course. • Make a chart on the BB. Write these headings: Rivers of the world – Country and complete it together. For example: Nile – Egypt, Amazon – Brazil, Mississippi – United States, Yangtse – China …
Water is a very important element in a landscape. It is in rivers, lakes and reservoirs. Rivers are made of moving water.

• LOOK AND READ Play 97 . Then the Ss read the text. Then ask: What are the parts of a river? (upper, middle and lower course) Why is there more water in the middle course than in the upper course? (the river is wider) Why does water flow more slowly in the lower course? (there is much more water) • Ss could look up information about a local river (name, location of source and mouth).
106
The source: This is in the mountains. The upper course: The river is narrow and there is less water. It flows very quickly.
• They run through flat lands and get bigger. More water goes into them from rainfall and other rivers.
Reservoir
The middle course: The river is wider. There is more water. It does not flow as quickly.
• They flow down to the sea or into another river.
2. The course and the flow of a river The course of a river is the route the river takes. The quantity of water in a river is called the flow. In some places, rivers have a lot of water in the autumn and in the spring. It rains more, and snow melts in the mountains.
The lower course: The river is much wider, and there is now much more water. It flows slowly.
Make more sentences. Change the underlined words. The upper course: the river flows quickly.
• LOOK Ask the Ss: What do you notice about the photo? How do we know that this is a river? We know it is a river because the water is moving. Water in rivers comes from the mountains, where it accumulates and flows down to lower lands.

1. Cities, towns and villages
71
Many people live and work in towns and cities. Towns and cities are examples of urban populations. Other people live and work in villages in the countryside. This is the rural population. There are three main differences between cities, towns and villages: the size, the number of inhabitants and the type of work that people do.
This is a small village.
2. Urban populations Cities are the biggest settlements, and the most populated. Their inhabitants do many different types of work. For example, they work in business, government, education and other services. San Francisco is a big city with tall buildings and wide avenues in the United States.
3. Rural populations Villages are small settlements and do not have many inhabitants. Some villages get bigger, and become towns or cities. Many of the people who live in villages work in farming or small businesses.
This is a small town in Great Britain. Complete the sentences. Urban populations work in… Rural populations work in…
