MEASUREMENTS Choose the appropriate apparatus and procedure for the measurement of length, mass, volume, time and temperature in different situations. Read measuring instruments (metre rule, ruler, vernier calipers, electronic balance, measuring cylinder, digital stopwatch, thermometer, etc) accurately; Express and record measurements in their correct units; Make a rough estimate of some quantities (e.g temperature of frozen foods, mass of a baby, height of a room, etc); Enumerate a few precautions taken during measurement.

2. DENSITY AND PRESSURE Explain that pressure is caused by the action of force and an area Solve problems involving the application of the formula:

3. MOTION Distinguish between distance covered and displacement Explain the difference between vectors and scalars Distinguish between speed and velocity Demonstrate an understanding of what is meant by acceleration Plot a speed-time graph Recognize from a speed-time graph when a body is (i) at rest, (ii) moving with uniform speed, (iii) moving with uniform acceleration. Calculate speed and velocity using the equations and respectively.

4. ENERGY Consider energy as the ability to make things happen (do work) State what is meant by the conservation of energy and give examples of energy transfers that occur in everyday life situations Define and calculate work done, power, K.E & P.E using appropriate units Understand that heat is a form of energy Identify heat transfer processes of conduction, convection and radiation Identify ways and means of saving energy

5. REFLECTION AND REFRACTION Describe how non-luminous objects are seen Describe reflection and interpret simple ray diagrams Describe refraction and interpret simple ray diagrams Discuss common application of reflection and refraction of light

6. ELECTRICITY Understand that (i) charge is another property of matter (like mass), (ii) matter is made up of 2 types of charges, (iii) like charges repel and unlike charges attract, (iv) an electric current is a flow of charge Distinguish between conductors and insulators Identify the symbols of basic components of a circuit (cell, battery, bulb, open switch, closed switch, connecting wires, bulb) Set up and draw simple circuits Investigate and explain the effect of the number of cells and bulbs in a circuit Recognize and draw simple series and parallel circuits (with bulbs only)
