INVESTIGATING FORCE AND ENERGY
FORCE
FRICTION
EFFECTS
CONCEPT A push or a pull
Can move a stationary object
Cannot be seen but the effects can be felt
Changes the motion of an
object
Changes the shapes of an
object
Stops a moving object
Changes the direction of a moving object
Makes an object move faster or slower
An object become squeezed, stretched, bent, twisted or squashed
Effects of friction
Produces heat
Opposes motion
Causes wear and tear
Slows down and stops a moving object
Factors that affect friction Condition of the surface
Weight of the object
Disadvantages
Advantages
Ways to reduce friction
Use rollers or marbles
Smoothen surfaces
Use oil, wax, grease, talcum
powder, air cushion
MOVEMENT
SPEED
CALCULATION OF SPEED
HOW FAST AN OBJECT
MOVES
FORMULA :

SPEED = DISTANCE
TIME
A FASTER OBJECT
TRAVELS A LONGER
DISTANCEIN
A GIVEN TIME
A FASTER OBJECT
TAKES A SHORTER TIME
TO TRAVEL A GIVEN
DISTANCE
UNITS :

DISPOSING
WASTE


TYPES OF
WASTE




HARMFUL
EFFECTS
OF IMPROPER
DISPOSAL
OF WASTE




WASTE THAT
CAN DECAY


WASTE THAT
DOES NOT
DECAY

SOURCES OF
WASTE

PLASTICS, GLASS, CHEMICAL WASTE,
ORGANIC WASTE, METAL
HOMES, FACTORIES, AGRICULTURE,
MOTOR VEHICLES
PROPER

DISPOSE OF WASTE IN THE RIGHT PLACE
TREAT WASTE BEFORE DISPOSING OF IT
INTO THE DRAIN
BURY WASTE THAT CAN DECAY IN SOIIL
REUSE OF RECYCLE WASTE

IMPROPER

LITTERING
OPEN BURNING
RELEASE OR WASTE INTO THE RIVERS
RELEASE OF SMOKE INTO THE AIR

AIR POLLUTION
WATER POLLUTION
SICKNESS &
DISEASES
ACID RAIN
FLASH FLOODS
DAMAGES OUR LUNGS, INITIATES OUR EYES
THYPOID, DENGUE FEVER
CAN KILL PLANTS AND ERODE BUILDING
DAMAGE PROPERTY
CAN KILL FISH AND WATER PLANTS

GIVES OUT POISONOUS GASES


ADVANTAGE :
TO MAKE THE SOIL FERTILE

Eclipse of
The Moon
Eclipse of
The Sun
ECLIPSE
INVESTIGATING THE EARTH AND THE UNIVERSE
The Earth is between the Sun and the Moon
and the three of them lie in a straight line.
The Moon is between the Sun and the Earth
and the three of them lie in a straight line.
The Earth blocks sunlight from
reaching the Moon
The Moon looks reddish, dark
gray or brown
Sunlight is blocked by the
Moon
The Moon shadow falls on
the Earth surface
Daylight becomes dark
during the total eclipse
