Topics
CHAPTER 6 : Sources of energy
6.1 Understanding various forms and
sources of energy
A student is able to:
1. list the various forms of energy,
2. list the various sources of
energy,
3. identify energy changes,
4. identify the sun as the primary
source of energy,
carry out an activity to investigate
the change of energy from
potential to kinetic energy and
vice versa.

9-13/9

6.2 Understanding renewable and nonrenewable

A student is able to:
1. define renewable and nonrenewable sources of energy,
2. group the various sources of
energy into renewable and nonrenewable,
3. explain why we need to
conserve energy,
4. suggest ways to use energy
efficiently.

16- 20/9

6.3 Realising the importance of

conserving energy
A student is able to:

CHAPTER 7: HEAT
7.1 Understanding heat as a form of
energy
A student is able to:

1. state that the sun gives out

heat,
2. state other sources of heat,
3. state that heat is a form of
energy,
4. give examples of the uses of
heat,
5. state the meaning of
temperature,
6. state the difference between heat
and
temperature
7.2 Understanding heat flow and its
effect
A student is able to:
1. state that heat causes solids,
liquids and gases to expand
and contract,
2. state that heat flows in three
different ways (conduction,
convection and radiation),
3. state that heat flows from hot to
cold,
4. give examples of heat flow in
natural phenomena,
5. state what a heat conductor is,
6. state what a heat insulator is,
7. list uses of heat conductors and
heat insulators in daily life,
8. carry out an experiment to
investigate the use of different
materials as heat insulators.

7-11/10

7.3 Analysing the effect of heat on

matter
A student is able to:

1. state the change in state of

matter in physical processes,
2. explain that change in state of
matter involves the absorption
and release of heat,
3. give examples of daily
observations which show a
change in state of matter.

14-18/10

7.4 Applying the principle of expansion

and
contraction of matter
A student is able to:
1. explain with examples the use of
expansion and contraction of
matter in daily life,
2. apply the principle of expansion
and contraction of matter in
solving simple problems.

21-25/10

7.5 Understanding that dark, dull

objects absorb and give out heat
better.
A student is able to:
state that dark, dull objects
absorb heat better than white,
shiny objects,
x state that dark, dull objects give
out heat better than white, shiny
objects,
x carry out experiments to
investigate heat
absorption and heat release.
7.6 Appreciating the benefits of heat
flow.
A student is able to:
x
