REVIEW SCIENCE FOR GRADE 3

I. THINGS AROUND US

There are 2 kinds of things that are grouped.

1. Living things is the things that are alive. Living things also called as Organism. They need air,
water, and food to survive.
The examples are human, plant, and animal.
2. Non-living things is the things that never alive. The examples are table, television, etc.
When your mom cooks fried chicken, is fried chicken a living things? Chicken was once alive, but
now it’s dead.
 Living things = Must be able to do all of the following
activities such as grow, reproduce, breath, responds to the
stimulus.
 Once living = Must have been part of living things but now it’s
dead
 Non-living thing = May have characteristics of living things, but doesn’t have all the characters.

Is the car categorized as living things? The car can move and need energy, which is fuel.
Explain your answer!

So, what the living things can do?

1. Need energy from the food
Plants make their own food by process Photosynthesis. Animals eat both plants and animal.
Human also eats both plants and animal. The process of taking in and using food is called
Nutrition.
2. Grow
Growth is seen in all living things. It involves using food to produce new cells. The permanent
increase in cell number and size is called growth.

A seedling grows into a tree A toddler grows become adult

 3. Move
All living things move. It is very obvious that a leopard moves but what about the thorn tree it
sits in? Plants to move in various different ways. The movement may be so slow that it is very
difficult to see.
The sun flower will move to face the sun.

4. Reproduce
All living organisms have the ability to produce by laying egg or giving birth.

5. Respond to the stimulus

All living things are able to sense and respond to stimuli around them such as light, temperature,
water, gravity and chemical substances.
When we touch leaves of Mimosa Pudina plant, the leaves fold
and droop.

II. ANIMALS

Animals can be sorted into 6 different groups, which are Mammals, Birds, Amphibian, Reptile, Fish, and
Insects.

 Why amphibian animal are able to live both in
water and land? Because when they are young
hatch from the egg, they take breath by gills.
As they grow up into adult, the body change
and the gills develop become lungs by Metamorphosis process.

Cold-blooded animals are the animals that are not capable

of regulating their body’s temperature according to the
temperature of the surrounding

Warm-blooded animals are the animals that are capable of

maintaining a nearly constant body temperature irrespective
of the temperature of the environment.

Life cycle of animal (Metamorphosis)

Metamorphosis or life cycle is a change in shape or process of animal development. When animals are
undergoing metamorphosis, some animals experience changes in body shape that are almost
identical. However, there are some animals that experience very different body shape changes. Animals
that undergo almost the same shape change, such as cockroaches, cats, goats, and the like. While animals that
experience different body shape changes can be seen in butterflies, mosquitoes, frogs, and the like.
 III. FOOD CHAIN

A food chain refers to the order of events in an ecosystem, where

one living organism eats another organism. The food chain
consists of four major parts, namely:

1) The Sun: The sun is the source of energy, which provides

energy for everything on the planet.
2) Producers: The producers in a food chain include all
autotrophs such as phytoplankton, algae, and green plants.
This is the first stage in a food chain. The producers make
their own food by process of photosynthesis. Producers are also known as autotrophs.

Autotrophs is an organism that can make their own food

3) Consumers: Consumers are all organisms that are dependent on plants or other organisms for food. It
includes herbivores which are animals that eat plants, carnivores which are animals that eat other animals.
 Primary consumer =
 Secondary consumer = Organism that eat primary consumer. They are generally meat-eaters
(carnivores).
 Tertiary consumer = Organism that eat secondary consumer. These are carnivore-eating carnivores,
like eagles or big fish. Some food chains have additional levels, such as quaternary consumers (carnivores
that eat tertiary consumers).
4) Decomposer: are organisms that break down dead or decaying organisms. This is the last stage in a food
chain. The example is fungi, bacteria, or worms.

IV. PARTS OF FLOWERING PLANTS AND HUMAN

Plants have some parts of their body and function, such as stem, root, leave, and flower,
and fruit.

 Roots are the most important and underground part of a plant. They absorb water
and minerals from the soil.

 The stem is the part of the plant which is found above the ground. Primary function of the stem is to hold
up buds, flowers, leaves, and fruits to the plant, also transports water and minerals from the root and
prepared food from leaves to other parts of the plant.
 Leave contain chlorophyll that helps the plants to prepare their food by process of
photosynthesis. Photosynthesis needs sunlight, carbon dioxide and water.
Leave has Stomata. Stomata is tiny openigs or pores in plant tissue that allow gas
exchange (respiration)
 Flowers are the most beautiful and colorful part of a plant. They are the reproductive part of a plant.

HUMAN ORGANS
All human organs are important. They have their own job and function that help us alive.
 The lungs and respiratory system allow us to breath. They bring oxygen into our bodies
and send carbon dioxide out. This exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide is called
respiration.
 Brain contains blood vessels and nerves, including neurons and glial cells. The brain is a
complex organ that controls thought, memory, emotion, touch, motor skills, vision,
breathing, temperature, hunger and every process that regulates our body.
 Heart function is to move blood throughout your body. Blood brings oxygen and nutrient to
your cell. It also takes away carbon dioxide and other waste.
 Stomach has function to digest food and send it to your small intestine.
 Intestine has 2 parts, which are small and large intestine.
Small intestine is where most of the long process of digestion takes place. They absorb or
digest the food. While large intestine has function to absorb water from the undigested food.
 V. MATTER AND MIXTURE

As we know that that are 3 kinds of matter state; they are Solid, Liquid, and Gas.

Solid and Liquid have similarity, that is Volume. Both of them have same or fixed volume.

How we can separate solid or solid mixture?

Mixture is materials are combined together physically. The materials in a mixture with different
solids can be easily to be separated.
Hand picking Using magnet Sieving

How we can separate insoluble solid from a solid or liquid mixture?

 Insoluble solid is substance that does not dissolve in the liquid substance, like water. For examples
are stone and sand
The Insoluble solid can be separated by Sieving and Filtering

 Soluble solid is substance that dissolve in a given liquid it forms a solution. For examples are sugar,
and salt
 VI. FRICTION AND GRAVITY
We can measure force by using Forcemeter. Force is measured in the unit of Newton (N).

Spring

Scale
Gravity

Hook

Fraction

So, Fraction is the opposite act of movement.

SURFACE AFFECTS THE FRICTION.

Rough surface Smooth surface

Object move easily over smooth surface, so it is less force or friction. While in the rough surface, object need
more force or friction because it do not easy to move.

Helpful Friction = People often use friction to slow things down. For example is when the skydiver opens
the parachute, air resistance slows him down or the brake blocks use friction to slow the bike wheels.

Unhelpful Friction = The main problem with friction is that it wears things
away so they need to be replaced. For example the tires on the racing car will
often need to be replaced as friction wears them down.
Gravity

Everything with mass also has gravity. All of the planets in our solar system have gravity. On Earth gravity
pulls objects toward the center of Earth. This is what makes objects fall. The bigger the object, the greater
the gravitational force.

Gravity is very important in our everyday lives. Can you imagine any daily actions that would be easier without
gravity? Gravity plays an important role in our daily activity.

VII. LIGHT AND SHADOW

SHADOW

Shadow needs Light and Object.

Shadow size changes according to how close the object to

the light source. When an object moves closer into the
light, its shadow gets bigger.
 Besides the distance of the light can change the
shadow, the light direction also can change the
shadow. The shadow depends on where the
light source come from.

VIII. PROPERTY OF MAGNET

Magnet has two poles, which are North and South poles.

So, how magnet works? The magnetic field is

represented by field lines that start from North Pole and end
at the South Pole.

If you have two magnets next to each other and their north poles are facing
each other or their south poles are facing each other, you can see that the field
lines move away from each other, so you feel a repelling force between the
two magnets or we called it Like Pole.

If you put the north pole of one magnet next to the south pole of the other,
then the field lines go straight from the north pole of the first magnet to the
south pole of the second, and you feel an attractive force between the two
magnets or we called it Unlike Pole.
 So, are all metal is magnetic
materials? NO
Magnetic materials are always made of metal,
but not all metals are magnetic materials.

IX. RESOURCE IN THE EARTH

Oil and Natural Gas is a gas that was formed a long ago as plankton, tiny plants and animal, died and
then were covered with sand, sediment, and water. They are found under the Earth’s surface.

Oil can be made into Petrol and diesel (vehicle). While Natural Gas can be made into Electricity product.

Metal also can be found in the rock, we know it as Ores (natural rock or
sediment that contains one or more valuable minerals concentrated above
background levels, typically containing metals,). Many materials such as
plastic, rubber, and fabric are made of metal.

Fossil
Fossils are the remains or traces of plants and animals that live a long time
ago. Fossils help scientists understand what life was like millions of years ago.

How did plants and animals become fossils?

 Fossils can be made from the actual remains of an organism (like bones, teeth,
shells or leaves). When living things die, they typically don’t leave anything
behind. If an animal was quickly buried after it died, the bones or shells may have
been left behind.

Paleontologists is a scientist that recover and study about fossil.

Scientists use fossils to learn about ancient organisms as well as the world
in which they lived.

X. EARTH, THE SUN, AND THE MOON

We live on Earth. It is a planet made of

rock and metals. The Earth circles
around the Sun in a path called an orbit.
The Sun is a star made of hot, glowing
gases. The Moon is a satellite made of
rock. Just like the Earth orbits the Sun,
the Moon orbits the Earth.

The Earth, Sun and Moon are all spheres – the shape of a ball. But they are very different sizes.

How do we get day and night?

The Earth is always spinning around on its axis (an imaginary line going through the Earth from the North Pole
to the South Pole). It takes the planet 24 hours to spin all the way round once. That's why one full day (including
night) takes 24 hours.
 when part of the Earth faces the Sun and gets lit up it is daytime.
 when part of the Earth faces away from the Sun it is in darkness. This is night.
Why does the Moon change shape?
The Moon is always a sphere but you may have seen different shapes of Moon in the sky. These are called the
Moon's phases. The Moon does not make its own light like a star. The Moon appears bright because it
reflects light from the Sun.

 New Moon : The New Moon is the first phase in the cycle of phases. It is totally dark
to our view, as the Moon does not produce its own light.

 Waxing Crescent : The Waxing Crescent is the second phase in the cycle of phases. This
phase is called the Waxing Crescent because the area illuminated on the surface of the Moon
makes the shape of a crescent, and the term waxing means increasing.

 First Quarter: The First Quarter, or Half Moon, is the third phase in the cycle of phases.

 Waxing Gibbous: The Waxing Gibbous is the fourth phase in the cycle of phases. Waxing means
it is getting bigger.

 Full: The Full Moon is the fifth phase in the cycle of phases. This is why it’s also called a Full
Moon because all of the Moon’s surface is visible.
 Waning Gibbous: The Waning Gibbous is the sixth phase in the cycle of phases. This phase
is called Waning Gibbous because the surface area of the Moon that you see is decreasing.
Waning means it is getting smaller.

 Third Quarter: The Third Quarter, or Half Moon, is the seventh phase in the cycle of phases.
This phase of the Moon is also known as a Half Moon because only half of the Moon is visible.

 Waning Crescent: The Waning Crescent is the eighth and final phase in the cycle of phases.
This phase is one step in the cycle away from the New Moon phase
