Question 9
Learn Class 4 Science - Plants
A typical plant consists of roots, stem, leaves and
may bear flowers and fruits. Green leaves make
food through the process of photosynthesis.
Leaves also carry out transpiration. Roots absorb
water and important minerals from the soil. It also
gives anchor to the plant. Stem helps in carrying
the water and minerals from the root to various
parts of the plant and carry food from the leaves to
other parts. It also stores excess food. It also gives
support to the plant.
Plants play very important role on earth. They
provide food and oxygen to all other living things.
Plants are seen almost everywhere. They grow on
land, on mountains, in deserts and under sea. We
know plants grow mostly from seeds when they
get enough water, sunlight and air.
Parts of Plants
The Root System
Root is the underground part of the plants body
and grows towards the force of gravity. It fixes the
plant within the soil and absorbs water and
mineral nutrients from the soil. It stores excess
food.
Tap Roots
It consists of one main long thick root growing
downwards from which many thinner roots
develop. Taproot goes deep into the soil for
searching for water and minerals. Examples: sugar
beet or carrot, bean, tea, peepal etc. have tap root.
Fibrous Roots
In case of fibrous root there is no main root. It
consists of a dense equal size roots that arise from
the stem. The roots grow downward and outward
from the stem, branching repeatedly to form a
mass of fine roots. Fibrous root does go very deep
in the soil. Example: lilies, grasses, wheat, rice,
palm etc. have fibrous root.
Function of Roots
1. Roots attach the plant body to the ground.
It provides support to the plant and helps
in holding the plant firmly in the ground.
2. Root hairs of the plant absorb water and
mineral from the soil and pass it to the
stem.
3. Some roots like carrot, radish etc. store
food.
4. Root bind the soil which otherwise may be
blown away by wind or washed away by
water. Root prevents soil erosion.
The Shoot System
It is the aerial part of the plant body and enables a
plant to grow taller to gain access to energy-
giving light, and helps plant to prepare food. It is
composed of erect stems on which are attached
leaves, flowers, branches and buds. Leaves are
attached to the stem at regions called nodes.
Stem
It supports the upper parts of plants. It carries the
water and nutrients needed for plants to grow
from roots to leaves and food produced by the
leaves to other part of plants. Big trees like neem,
mango, peepal etc. have strong, thick and woody
stem. Such stem is called trunk. Some plant have
thick but soft stem, example banana. Some plants
have weak, soft and green stem as in case of
climbers and creepers, example watermelon,
money plant etc.
Functions of stem
1. Stem provide support to the plant above
the ground. It bears branches, leaves, buds,
flowers and fruits.
2. Stem transport water and minerals from
root to other parts of the plants. It also
transport food prepared by the leaves to
different part of the plants.
3. Some underground stem stores food such
as sugarcane, potato, ginger etc.
Leaves
Leaves are of different shapes and sizes. The outer
surface of the leaf has a waxy coating which
protects the leaf. The flat surface of the leaf is
called leaf blade or lamina. It has veins running
across within the leaf. Tiny opening on the surface
of the leaves called stomata helps in the exchange
of gases. Stomata can be seen only under
microscope.
Functions of Leaves
1. These are the parts of the plant where food
is made by the process of photosynthesis.
That’s why leaves are called the food
making factories of green plants.
Chlorophyll (green pigment) present in the
leaves uses the energy in sunlight to turn
water (H2O) and carbon dioxide gas
(CO2) into sugar and oxygen gas (O2).
2. Leaves gives out oxygen in the process of
photosynthesis. All living beings need
oxygen to live.
3. Some leaves store food in them such as
mint, cabbage etc.
Flowers
Flowers are the most attractive part of a plant.
Each flower types have a different physical
structure, color and scent from those of other
flower type plants. Buds of the plants grows into
flower and flower finally becomes fruit enclosing
the seed or seeds. Some fruits have one seed such
as mango and cherry. Some fruits have many
seeds such as papaya and watermelon.

changes inside the cocoon. This change occurring
in the form, structure, or function of organism in
the process of its growth or development is called
metamorphosis. After few weeks later, a beautiful
butterfly comes out of cocoon.
Life Cycle of Frog
Frogs lay eggs in water or wet place. Eggs hatches
into small tadpoles. These tadpoles look more like
a fish rather a frog. Tadpole has no legs but has a
long tail and breathes through gills in water. They
feed on pond weeds and gradually turns into
froglets and then into frog. An adult frog breathes
through lungs.
Reptiles
Lizards, turtle and snakes also lay eggs but do not
give any parental care. Most of their laid eggs are
eaten by other animals. Among reptiles only
crocodiles and their relatives tend both eggs and
babies. Crocodiles make nest in the ground and
lay eggs there. They carry their babies to the water
body after the egg hatches and took care of them
for some time.
Animals that give birth to young ones
Some animal give birth to young ones. Such
animal are called mammals. This includes animals
such as dogs, cats, monkeys, tigers, cows,
elephants, horses and humans. The baby develops
inside the mother’s body. After their birth they
feed on mother’s milk till they learn to feed by
their own.
Whales and dolphins lives in water but they give
birth to young ones. Bat though a bird gives birth
to young ones.

Functions of small intestine
The function of small intestine are as follows
Mixing of digestive juices
digestive juices are mixed in small intestine
provided by the inner wall of small intestine,
pancreas, liver.
Complete digestion of food
the food is completely digested in small intestine.
Absorption of digested food
The blood vessels present on the wall of small
intestine absorb the digested food and carry it to
all the parts of the body.
Functions of Mouth in Digestion
Process of digestion starts in the mouth. Teeth bite
and chew the food and break it into small pieces.
The digestive juice called saliva secreted by the
salivary glands mixes with the food while
chewing. Saliva changes the insoluble starch in
food into soluble sugar. Which makes the food
easy to digest.
Digestion process from stomach to large intestine
The process of digestion of food from stomach to
large intestine is as follows.
Stomach
The stomach is a hollow muscular bag in which
the food is churned.
digestive juices present in the stomach break
down the proteins present in the food into a
simpler form.

Learn Class 4 Science - Matter and Materials
Everything around us is made up of matter. All
solids, liquids and gases in the universe are
matter. Matter takes up space and has mass, this
means we can weigh matter. When we use one
kind of matter to make something such as a
wooden or plastic chair we say the material used
was wood or plastic.
Materials are all around us. Some materials are
solids, some are liquids and some are gases. A
material will always be one of these three things.
But what exactly are solids, liquids and gases?!
Solids
The word "property" has different meanings. We
say this house is the property of Mr Mabusa (he is
the owner of the house). When we use the word
"property" in science we look at what makes that
kind of matter special; how does it behave
differently from other kinds of matter. For
example when you shift a chair to another place, it
will still have the same shape. This is because the
chair is solid. So we can say that all solids keep
their shape. We say that keeping its shape is a
property of a solid. Let's look at some of the
properties of solids.
So, we have learned that a substance in a solid
form will have a fixed shape and takes up a
definite space. Let's now look at liquids.
Liquid
There are liquids all around you and you use them
in your everyday lives. Some examples are water,
paraffin, baby oil, fruit juice, petrol or methylated
spirits. What are the common properties of
liquids?
When a scientist wants to know more about
something they set up questions and then they try
to answer the questions by doing experiments.
After doing this activity where we investigated the
properties of liquids, we can say that a liquid:
 can flow,
 it has no fixed shape,
 and it takes the shape of the container that
it is in.
This is different to a solid. Remember a solid has
a fixed shape and you cannot pour a solid!
Gas
When we breathe, we are taking in and giving out
gases. But we cannot see the gas!
Gases are a bit more difficult to understand as we
usually cannot see gases. We can see places where
gases are used and the containers that a gas is kept
in.
Can you name any gases? What about the gas
used in a stove to cook food? Have you seen the
gas coming out of the exhaust of a motor car? In
hospitals, there are cylinders filled with oxygen
gas for patients with breathing problems. The air
you breathe in has oxygen gas. The air you
breathe out has more carbon dioxide gas.
 can flow,
 it has no fixed shape,
 and it takes the shape of the container that
it is in.
This is different to a solid. Remember a solid has
a fixed shape and you cannot pour a solid!
Change of State
We know that matter can be in the solid, liquid or
gas state. Let's use water as an example.
Melting
So what have we learned from Mashadu's
experience with the ice lollies? The ice lollies
were frozen and cold. When they were placed in
the sun, they started to warm up. This heat caused
a state change to take place. The ice changed to a
liquid. This is called melting.
Solidifying
When Mashadu and the Thunderbolt Kids went to
get new ice lollies from the tuckshop, these ice
lollies were frozen, but they were made from a
liquid. The liquid was poured into the shape of an
ice lolly and then they were cooled. As heat was
removed, they froze. When a liquid changes to a
solid, this is called solidifying.
Evaporation
Evaporation takes place when heat is added to the
liquid. It means the water changes from the liquid
to the gas state.
Condensation
The steam that comes out of the kettle is
extremely hot and you cannot see it. The steam
quickly cools and forms tiny droplets in the air.
These tiny droplets are visible and form the
"cloud" that you see. When these tiny droplets hit
the mirror they cool more and form the bigger
droplets which you see forming on the mirror. We
say the steam condensed to form water. The
change of state from the gas state to the liquid
state is called condensation, which takes place
when heat is removed.
When you leave a glass filled with cold water on
the table, small droplets form on the outside. This
is because there is water vapour in the air which
cools down when it is near the cold glass. The
water vapour in the air around the glass condenses
as it changes from a gas to a liquid and forms the
tiny droplets you can see.
The Water Cycle
People say the Earth is the blue planet, because
much of its surface is covered in water and the
land forms a small part.
Did you know that the amount of water on Earth
now is about the same as when the dinosaurs lived
on our planet. How is that possible?
The answer is that invisible water vapour in the air
cools and condenses to form drops of water. The
reverse process takes place when water
evaporates. When the water evaporates, it can not
be seen anymore as it has become a gas called
water vapour. This process of water always
changing from a liquid to a gas and back again is
an ongoing process. It is called the water cycle
and this is why the amount of water on Earth stays
the same.
In a cycle, a set of events (things that happen)
keep on repeating in the same order.

Learn Class 4 Science - Force, Work and Energy
Work, energy and power are the most used terms
in Physics. They are probably the first thing you
learn in your Physics class. Work and energy can
be considered as two sides of the same coin. In
this article, we will learn all about the concept of
work, power and energy.
Work done is generally referred in relation to the
force applied while energy is used in reference to
other factors such as heat. Power is defined as
work done per unit time.
What is Work?
Work is said to be done when a body or object
moves with the application of external force. We
can define work as an activity involving a
movement and force in the direction of the force.
For example, a force of 30 newtons (N) pushing
an object 3 meters in the same direction of the
force will do 90 joules (J) of work.
Formula of Work
When we kick a football, we are exerting an
external force called F, and due to this force
(kick), the ball moves to a certain distance. This
disposition of ball from position A to B is known
and can be calculated as W = F × d
Unit of Work
If a force of 5 newtons is applied to an object and
it moves 2 meters, the work will be 10 newton-
meter. Newton meter in termed and Joules and it
is the unit of Work.
What is Energy?
Energy is the ability to perform work. Energy can
neither be created nor destroyed. It can only be
transformed from one kind to another. The unit of
Energy is same as of Work i.e. Joules. Energy is
found in many things and thus there are different A. Book
