Question What is temperature, how do we measure it and why are thermal conductors and
insulators important in our lives?
Expert Temperature is a measure of how hot or cold something is. We can measure temperature
Teacher accurately using a thermometer. The units we use are degrees Celsius (C). Thermometers are
Answer used in many parts of our lives, for example, when we are ill we have our temperature taken
(normal body temperature is about 37 degrees C), and when we are baking we need to set the
oven to a high temperature (an internal thermometer controls this). Temperature can be controlled
by using thermal insulators. Thermal insulators do not allow heat to pass through them easily. For
example, a cool box will not allow heat to pass through its lining, and so keeps the food inside
cool. Another example is wall insulation, in our houses, which prevents the flow of heat out of the
house, thus keeping it warm inside.

Question What is the difference between a solid and a liquid? How could you separate a mixture of
sand and marbles in water?
Expert A solid has a definite size and shape but a liquid only has a definite size. It takes the shape of a
Teacher container it is poured into. You could separate the mixture by first using a sieve. When you pour
Answer the mixture into the sieve the marbles will be trapped in the sieve but the sand and the water will
pass through the holes. Next you could use pour the remaining mixture through the kitchen towel,
or filter paper, the sand will be trapped but the water will pass through the tiny holes in the paper.
This is called filtering. If you do not have any kitchen towel or filter paper, you could evaporate the
water by heating it, and then quickly cool the steam (condense it), to collect the water. The sand
would be left in the pot.

Question What do you know about plant and animal reproduction?

Expert A flower has both male and female parts. The carpel is the female part, the stamen is the male
Teacher part. The male part makes pollen, the female part makes ovules. The pollen has to reach the
Answer ovules for the plant to make a seed. The pollen can be carried by the wind or by insects. The wind
blows the pollen to another plant. The insects visit the plant to collect nectar. They are attracted
by the scent, smell and colour of the plant. The pollen sticks to the insects and is carried to
another plant. When the pollen reaches another plant, this plant becomes pollinated. When the
pollen and the ovule join together, fertilisation takes place forming a seed. The seed has to be
carried away from the plant to be able to make a new plant. This can be done by animals, the
wind, explosion and water. When the seed lands in a good place it germinates. This means the
plant begins to grow. It cannot grow without enough water, light, heat and minerals. Animals also
go through different stages in their life cycle. For example, the stages in the human life cycle are
babyhood, childhood, adolescence and adulthood. The babies of different species have different
gestation lengths, and spend different amounts of time dependent on their parents. If animals do
not reproduce they can become extinct. This can happen when an animal is hunted or its habitat
is destroyed. People try to help endangered species by making hunting illegal or by breeding
animals in captivity.

Question What do you know about water changing state?

Expert Water can exist in three states. When it is a solid it is called ice, when a liquid it is called water,
Teacher when a gas it is called water vapour. When liquid water is heated, it evaporates and turns into a
Answer gas, water vapour. This is why a puddle seems to 'disappear' on a sunny day. When water vapour
is cooled, it condenses and turns into liquid water. Condensation is the reverse of evaporation.
When water is heated it boils. The boiling point of water is 100 ? C. When water is cooled, it
changes from a liquid to a solid, ice. This is called freezing, and the reverse of this is melting. The
water cylce is the name given to the process where water evaporates from seas and lakes, rises
up, cools, condenses and then falls to the ground as rain.

Question What have we learnt about the Earth, Sun and moon? Try to write some interesting facts
about each one. Also, how does the Sun affect the things that happen around us - for
example day and night? shadows?
Expert The Earth, Sun and moon are spherical with the moon being slightly egg shaped. If the Earth was
Teacher the size of a pea, then the Sun would be a beach ball and the moon would be a bead. The Earth
Answer orbits the Sun and takes 365 1/4 days to orbit (go around). The moon orbits the Earth and this
takes approximately 28 days. During this time the appearance of the moon changes and these
are called the 'Phases of the moon'. Because the Earth spins on it's axis (one complete turn takes
24 hours) we have day and night with one half of the Earth being in the Sun's light and the other
facing away from it. Whilst it appears that the Sun moves across the sky, actually it does not. The
Sun appears to move because the Earth is spinning. The Sun rises in the East and sets in the
West and is at it's highest point at midday. However, the amount of daylight that we have changes
as we go from summer to winter.

Expert When substances dissolve, they form a solution. There are many different types of solution-
Teacher gases dissolved in liquids, gases in gases, liquids in liquids or solids dissolved in liquids. You can
Answer separate solids which have not dissolved from liquids by filtering, but dissolved solids have to be
separated by evaporating the liquid. The rate at which a solid dissolves can be affected by the
size of the particles, temperature of the water, or the amount of stirring. When a solid is added to
a liquid, eventually no more will dissolve because the solution is saturated.

Question You have been asked to write definitions for a scientific dictionary for the terms 'reversible
change' and 'irreversible change'. What will you write?
Expert A reversible change is when you have mixed materials and you can easily get the materials back
Teacher by sieving, filtering, decanting and by evaporation and condensation. When you mixed the
Answer materials you did not make a new substance. An irreversible change is when you have mixed
materials and a reaction has happened that produces new materials. You cannot get the
materials that you mixed back. When you burn materials this causes an irreversible change. Heat
can also cause an irreversible change, for example when you fry an egg.

Expert There are many forces around us and they are all measured using the unit Newtons. Gravity is
Teacher the force which attracts objects to the centre of the earth. It can be seen acting when a ball is
Answer dropped. Air resistance or drag is the force produced by air trying to stop objects moving. It can
be found acting on a parachute where it slows down the person before they reach the ground.
Upthrust is the force which helps keep boats afloat. It was discovered by Archimedes. It is a force
which acts in the opposite direction to gravity and is found in liquids. Friction is a force which tries
to stop objects moving. It can be useful especially on roads to stop cars from skidding off when
they reach a corner. Magnetism is a force which attracts iron, nickel, cobalt and steel. It is found
in magnets and some rocks. Weight is a force created by gravity. It is the force by which an object
is pulled towards the ground. The more mass an object has the greater its weight.

Answer This would make the bulbs dimmer as the power would have to be shared between the bulbs. I
could also add another device like a motor or a buzzer. This would have the same effect. I could
shorten or lengthen the wire. A shorter wire would make the bulb brighter, as it has less
resistance. A longer wire would make the bulb dimmer. I could use thicker or thinner wire. A
