1. MICROORGANISM
1.1 Understanding that microorganism is a living thing. state types of microorganisms - compare the size. - bacteria, virus, fungi and protozoa. state that yeast is an example of microorganism - making dough. - observe the effect of yeast. state that microorganism breathes - causes the dough to rise. state that microorganism grows - sprinkle a few drops of water on a slice of bread and put in the plastic bag. - observe for a few days. - use microscope or magnifying glass. state that microorganism moves - observe rotten oranges or mouldy rice. - samples of water from ponds, rivers or drains conclude that microorganisms are living things and most of them cannot be seen with naked eyes - using microscope to observe microorganism. 1.2 Understanding that some microorganisms are harmful and some are useful. state examples of the use of microorganisms - making bread, tapai, tempe and fertiliser. state the harmful effects of microorganisms - causing illness, food poisoning, food to turn bad and tooth decay. describe that diseases caused by microorganisms can spread from one person to another - stomach upset, measles, flu, cough, conjunctivitis, mumps and AIDS.
2.2 Understanding that different plants have their own ways to ensure the survival of their species. state various ways plants disperse their seeds and fruits - by water, wind, animal and explosive mechanism. explain why plants need to disperse seeds or fruits - ensure the survival of their species. give examples of plant that disperse seeds and fruits by water - coconut and pong-pong. give examples of plants that disperse seeds and fruits by wind - lallang and angsana. give examples of plants that disperse seeds and fruits by animals - watermelon, love grass and rambutan. give examples of plants that disperse seeds by explosive mechanism - balsam, rubber, flame of the forest, chestnut and ladys finger. relate characteristics of seeds and fruits to the ways they are dispersed - water; light and have air space. - wind; light, have wing-like structure, dry, have fine hairs and small. - animals; fleshy, brightly coloured, edible, have smells or have hooks. - explosive mechanism; dry when ripe.
explain ways to prevent diseases caused by microorganism - washing hands before handling food. - boiling water before drinking. - covering mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing. - washing hands after using the toilet. - putting patients who have chicken pox, conjunctivitis or mumps into quarantine.
