Electricity

• Electricity is a type of energy that powers the things we use


everyday.
• Electricity can be classified into 2 groups:
i) Natural
ii) Man-made
• Electricity can be both useful and harmful.
Symbols
1. Shapes that represent things like electrical
components of a circuit.
2. Scientists use the same symbols so that people with
different languages can understand.
Wires: Allow electricity to flow through.
Wires are made of metals.
Buzzer: Makes sound when electricity passes through.
Light bulb: Produces light when electricity passes through.
Motor: It turns when electricity passes through.
Switch: Turns the circuit on and off.
Components and Functions

Sr Component Function

1 Wire Allows electricity to flow through.

2. Switch Turns the switch on and off.

3. Cell/ Battery Power source for the circuit.

4. Buzzer Produces sound when electricity passes through.

5. Light bulb Produces light when electricity passes through.

6. Motor The motor turns and spins when electricity passes through.
State a Conclusion
1. The more components there are, the
dimmer the light bulb.
2. The less components there are, the brighter
the light bulb.
3. The greater the power source, the brighter
the light.
Workbook Page 104 and 105 answers.
4. Switch: To turn the circuit on and of.
Cell: To provide power to the circuit.

4(b). Inside: Metals – good conductor of electricity


Outside: Plastic – good insulator of electricity.

4. Buzzer
A device that makes a sound when electricity passes through
it.

5. Light bulb
A device that produces light when electricity passes through
it.

6. Motor
A device that turns and rotates when there is electricity.
Spelling and Vocabulary Test

7. Cell
A single power source for a circuit.

8. Battery
2 or more cells joined together.

9. Open switch
A type of switch that doesn’t allow electricity to flow through
the circuit.
Spelling and Vocabulary Test

10. Closed switch


A type of switch that allows electricity to flow through the
circuit in one complete loop.

11. Wire
A thin and flexible thread that conducts electricity.

12. Electricity
A form of energy that is both useful and harmful to living
things.
Spelling and Vocabulary Test

13. Electric conductor


Materials that allow electricity to flow through them.

14. Electrical insulator


Materials that do not allow electricity to flow through them.

15. Scientific conclusion


A summary of the results from a science experiment.
FORCES IN AIR
AND WATER
Push = Move objects away from
Push or Pull you
Pull = Move objects towards you

Force can act or move in different


Directions directions.

FORCE If 2 forces acts in opposite


direction:
Size of the Force i) Force A = Force B = Balanced
force
ii) Force A > Force B = Not
Balanced
Directions and size of the force
Representation can be represented by force
arrows.
PUSH BOTH
Some objects move with Some objects can be used
a push. (it is used with a with both push and pull.
push most of the time) E.g. A toy car.
E.g. A shopping cart PUSH OR
PULL OR
BOTH
PULL
Some objects move with
a pull. (it is used with a
pull most of the time)
E.g. Rope
FORCE
• A force is a push or pull.
• Forces can act in many directions.
• Forces are shown with arrows. The longer the arrow, the greater the
force.
Force A Force B

• If Force A = Force B, the forces are balanced. The object will not
move.
• If the two forces are not equal, it is not balanced. The object will
move.
GRAVITY
• A force that pulls objects towards the center of the Earth.
• It always acts in downwards direction.
• It is an invisible force.
• It is a non-contact force.
• Gravity depends on the mass of the object. Objects with bigger mass
have greater gravity.
MASS
• The amount of matter in a substance.
• Unit of mass: Kilograms (kg), Grams (g) or Pounds (lb).
• It is measured using a beam balance or an electronic balance.
• It always remain unchanged no matter the location.

WEIGHT
• The force of gravity acting on the mass of an object.
• Unit of weight: newton (N).
• It is measured using a newton meter or a force meter.
• It will change if the force of gravity changes.
- Invisible force
01
- Contact force

- Occurs between contact surfaces.


02 - Depends on the type of surface.
- Smooth surface = less friction

FRICTION - Opposite direction to motion.


03 - Opposes motion. Slows them down

- Depends on size of the force.


04 - If forward force > friction= object
will move in the direction of force.
- Can act in all 3 states of matter.
05 - In water = water resistance
- In air = air resistance
Friction
• An invisible contact force.
• It acts in the opposite direction to motion. So, it opposes and slows
down motion.
• It depends on the type of surface.
• Smooth surface = Less friction.
• Rough surface = More friction.
• Forward force > friction = the object will move forward.
• Forward force = friction = the object will not move or it will continue
moving at the same speed.
GRIP
• The ability of a surface to prevent slipping.

The special soles of the boots allow strong


grip to prevent slipping on ice and snow.

The rubber grip of a pen prevents the pen


from slipping out of your fingers.
The rubber handle of the push up bars
provide more grip for exercising.

The deep tread patterns of the mountain


bike gives strong grip on uneven and rocky
lands.
USES OF FRICTION
• Friction provides grip between surfaces.
• It allows us to hold objects and prevents living things and non-living
things from slipping and falling over.
• For Example:
1. The rubber handle of items provides more grip for firm hold.
2. The tread pattern of car tires provides strong grip and prevent the car
from slipping.
HARMFUL EFFECTS OF FRICTION
1. Causes wear and tear between the surfaces.
2. Slows down the motion and movement of objects.
3. Produces heat between the surfaces.
REDUCING FRICTION
• Friction can be reduced by:
1. Using a smoother surface.
2. Using lubricants between the surfaces.
3. Using a smaller surface area or making the objects streamline shape.

Bigger surface area = more air particles hitting.


= More air resistance

Air flows over more smoothly

Streamlined shape = less air particles hitting.


= Less air resistance
