cell membrane Cells
The cell is the basic unit of living things All living things are made up of cells Some living things, such as bacteria, are made trillion cells Every part of the body is made up of one kind of cell or another, hundred different kinds of cells in the human body, including bone cells, muscle cells, heart cells, liver cells and so on The shape and size of a cell depend on its funtion Muscle cells
controls most of its functions The cytoplasm is a jellylike substance that makes up most of the inside of a cell The cell membrane is the outside covering of a cell It controls what can enter and exit a cell.
Tissue
Tissue is made up of a group of cells that have the same function For example, bone tissue is made up of three types of bone cell—one to make bones, one to repair bones and one to remove dead bone cells.
Humans have four types of tissue.
· Muscle tissue is made up of cells that contract and relax to produce movement.
· Nervous tissue is found in the brain and spinal cord, as well as the sense organs.
· Connective tissue includes the bones and tendons.
· Epithelial tissue covers the body and lines some internal organs.
only about one fifth of our weight There are two main types of muscle tissue: skeletal muscle tissue, which is connected to the skeleton, and smooth muscle tissue, which
is found in the internal organs Around 40% of a man’s weight and 20% of a woman’s weight is made up of skeletal muscle tissue.
Organs
An organ is a set of tissues that have the same function Each organ is made
up of several types of tissue For example, there are three types of bone tissue tissue at the ends of bones In the skin, which is also an organ, there is epithelial tissue, muscle tissue, nervous tissue and connective tissue.
Systems
A system is a set of organs that work together to perform a common function There are ten major systems in humans, including the respiratory, nervous, circulatory, digestive, excretory, skeletal, muscular and reproductory systems.

VOCABULARY
Oviparoufi Viviparoufi
The tapeworm (taenia) is an invertebrate animal
It is a parasite in humans, pigs and other animals.
For example, a pig eats food contaminated with tapeworm eggs The eggs hatch into larvae in the animal’s intestine.
Then they travel into the bloodstream and the muscles.
the larva grows in their intestine It becomes a tapeworm
This parasite absorbs their food and causes weakness and anaemia.
Contaminated animals have eggs in their faeces
These can infect other animals.
씲It is an invertebrate. 씲It is a parasite. 씲It is oviparous.
씲It is an amphibian. 씲It is viviparous. 씲It is an herbivore.

1 Living and non-living things
In nature, there are living things and non-living things.
People, animals and plants are living things.
Rocks, air and wind are non-living things.
Living things have the following characteristics:
•They are born from other living things.
Living things eat food, which contains nutrients.
Nutrients are substances which provide energy.
•Sensitivity
Living things react to their environment.
•Reproduction
Living things have offspring.
Many living things need a mate to reproduce.
New living things replace the ones which die.
Make more sentences Living things are born Living things …
What living things are there in your home?
Some living things are made up of a single cell.
They are unicellular.
Other living things are made up of many cells.
They are multicellular.
2 What are cells like?
Cells differ in shape and size.
They carry out different tasks.
For example, our skin cells are different from our bone cells.
3 Parts of a cell
Cells have three parts:
• The membrane is the covering
around the cell.
• The nucleus is the part
which controls the cell.
• Cytoplasm is between the nucleus
and the membrane.
Plant cells also have a hard cell wall
around the membrane.
This is why some plant stems are hard.
Cells
These cells are amplified by a microscope.
We use microscopes to study small things.
Complete the sentence.

Techniques
Various learning skills can help students to master the
contents of Essential Science:
Memorisation
• To memorise new vocabulary, it is useful to associate
the words with mental pictures, and then revise them
in order
• In order to teach the circulatory system, for example,
students touch the corresponding parts of their
bodies
Photographs
• The photographs help students to obtain information
It can be helpful to ask the students to study
a picture before they have read the caption
or received any other external information
• Focus the students’ attention: What do you see
in the photo? Can you see …?
• Go on to analyse the picture systematically,
highlighting all the details
Drawings
• These drawings represent parts of the human body,
plants, etc Some are realistic, while others are
simplified

• Students need to have a clear idea
of an experiment’s different stages
• Point out the following:
– material they will need– initial situation
– sequence of events– final result
Enquiry questions
• Learning should never be a purely mechanicalprocess Questions can be used to elicit priorknowledge, and find out students’ ideas
• Students should be encouraged to predict what they
will learn: What do you know about volcanoes? What do you think this unit / this page is going
to be about?
• Comparison questions encourage students to relate
information from different sections: In what ways are different from ?
• This type of question should be adapted to thelanguage level of the class
Activities
• Initially, the activities at the bottom of the pageshould be done orally with the whole class Later,most can be written down, either as homework
or as whole class activites This will help students
to master the key concepts and language
• Some citizenship questions may be difficult for the students in English It is advisable to begin
by eliciting short, simple replies
Trang 11Recorded Material
Some sections of each Unit are recorded on the
Student’s CD There is a more complete selection
of texts on the Class CD.
• The listening exercises can be used in the
presentation stage of the Unit
• Students should listen to the recording at least
twice before they check their answers
• The exercises can be corrected on the board,
or by looking at the text in the book
• For revision purposes, the listening exercises can
be used at the end of the unit to recycle vocabulary
or revise the content
• The recorded material will help students with the
pronunciation of new language and vocabulary
Essential Language
The Essential Language section in the Student’s Book
(pages 51 - 56), summarises the main functions and
structures
Here are some practical suggestions for using this
section:
Expressing facts
• The Present Simple tense in the affirmative,
negative, interrogative forms: Students underline
examples of the structure in each unit, either copying
the texts, or using pencils
• Passive verb forms: Students identify the structure:
verb to be + past participle, and write examples.
Giving examples
• Students ask questions related to examples from
the unit, for example: Are vegetables consumer
products?
Talking about the past
• Students copy the table from Unit 12 into their
notebooks They test each other with True / False
questions in pairs
Defining
• Prepositions of place: Students copy the texts,
or use pencils to underline prepositions of place
In pairs they ask each other: Where is …?,
and answer using the correct preposition
• Relative pronouns: Students identify examples
of relative pronouns (who … which …) They write True / False sentences to test their partners, using
relative pronouns to give correct or incorrectdefinitions
Describing
• Properties: verb to have: The students write
affirmative and negative sentences
• Describing a process, using linking words: First, then, next, etc The students find more examples
of processes using these linkers in other units
• There is / there are + singular / plural nouns.
Students find and underline more examples
of this structure

Trang 12Linking units and contents
• Before students look at the Contents list, write a few
titles on the left of the board: The landscape; Living
things; Population; The economy.
• On the right, write, in a different order, some of the
information about the titles: Migration; Mountains
and plains in Spain; Cells; The primary and secondary
sectors.
• Students volunteer to go to the board and draw a line
between a title and its information
• The students now have the list of contents (page 2
of the Student’s Book), open in front of them Draw
something on the board to represent a title, for
example, a dog (Unit 4), and a mountain (Unit 8)
• Students guess which unit is referred to Students
then volunteer to draw other titles on the board, and
the activity continues They may also do this activity
in pairs
Anagrams
• Write anagrams on board, for example CLIMATE
(TEMACLI) and ask the students to say which unit is
being referred to The students could do this in pairs

cell membrane
The shape and size of a cell depend on its funtion Muscle cells The three main parts of cells are the nucleus, the cytoplasm and controls most of its functions The cytoplasm is a jellylike substance that makes up most of the inside of a cell The cell membrane is the outside covering of a cell It controls what can enter and exit a cell.
Tissue
Tissue is made up of a group of cells that have the same function For example, bone tissue is made up of three types of bone cell—one to Humans have four types of tissue.
· Muscle tissue is made up of cells that contract and relax to produce movement.
· Nervous tissue is found in the brain and spinal cord, as well as the sense organs.
· Connective tissue includes the bones and tendons.
· Epithelial tissue covers the body and lines some internal organs.
Bone tissue, despite its strength, is amazingly light; bones make up only about one fifth of our weight.
There are two main types of muscle tissue: skeletal muscle tissue, which is connected to the skeleton, and smooth muscle tissue, which
is found in the internal organs Around 40% of a man’s weight and 20% of a woman’s weight is made up of skeletal muscle tissue.
Organs
An organ is a set of tissues that have the same function Each organ is made
up of several types of tissue For example, there are three types of bone tissue
in bones: a hard outer tissue, a sponge-like tissue inside bones, and a smooth tissue at the ends of bones In the skin, which is also an organ, there is epithelial tissue, muscle tissue, nervous tissue and connective tissue.
Systems
A system is a set of organs that work together to perform a common function There are ten major systems in humans, including the respiratory, nervous, circulatory, digestive, excretory, skeletal, muscular and reproductory systems.

1 Kingdoms
Living things are classified
into groups called kingdoms
The three principal kingdoms are the animal kingdom, the plant kingdom and the fungi kingdom.
2 The animal kingdom
• Animals are multicellular.
• They eat other living things.
• They can move from one place to another.
• They have a nervous system and sense organs.
• They react to stimuli.
3 The plant kingdom
• Plants are multicellular.
• They use sunlight and substances from the soil and air to make their food.
• They cannot move
They have roots in the ground.
• Plants do not have a nervous system
or sense organs However, they react slowly to some stimuli For example, many plants grow towards the light.
4 The fungi kingdom
• Most fungi are multicellular
A few are unicellular.
• They depend on other organisms for food
They do not make their own food.
• They are fixed to something
They cannot move.

Trang 23What type of living things are fungi?
Fungi are living things They are born, grow, reproduce and die, but they are not plants or animals.
They are not plants because they cannot make their own food They absorb nutrients from the remains of other living things They are not animals because they
do not have sense organs and they cannot move.
Some fungi, such as yeast, are too tiny to see
Others, such as moulds, are also tiny, but you can see them all together.
Some fungi are in the ground In autumn, they become mushrooms and grow above the ground.
There are many edible mushrooms.

are absorbed from the soil through the roots
The stem supports the leaves
Water and nutrients are transported from the roots
to the leaves inside the stem
Theleaves breathe and make the plant’s food.
2 Flowering plants
Flowering plants are the biggest group of plants
•Gymnosperms have small flowers, but no fruit.
Their seeds are all together in cones
Almost all gymnosperms are trees, such as pine trees.
•Angiosperms have flowers and fruit
Chestnut trees and some grasses are angiosperms.
3 Non-flowering plants
Non-flowering plants are the smallest group
of plants They need shade and moisture.

Plant nutrition
1 Respiration
Like all living things, plants breathe
They take oxygen from the air, and release
carbon dioxide This exchange of gases
is called respiration It takes place
in leaves continually, day and night.
2 Plant nutrition
Plants obtain food in a different way
from animals Plants are autotrophs:
they make their own food To make food,
plants need sunlight, carbon dioxide,
water, and minerals from the soil.
3 Water and minerals
Water and minerals are important for plant
nutrition In the soil, minerals dissolve in water.
Plants absorb this water through their roots
These nutrients, called raw sap,
travel up the stem to the leaves.
4 Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis enables plants to make
food from sunlight, carbon dioxide,
water and minerals.
Photosynthesis takes place in the leaves
In the leaves, raw sap mixes with carbon
dioxide and becomes elaborated sap
This is the plant’s food.
Sunlight is essential for photosynthesis,
so it only takes place during the day
During photosynthesis, plants release oxygen.

6 The seeds germinate: they open and small roots and leavesgrow
7 The ovary grows and becomes a fruit with seeds inside
8 The fruit opens and its seeds fall out
9 After pollination, the petals fall
Flowers are the reproductive organs of the plant
• The stamens are the male parts
which produce pollen.
• The ovary is the female part which contains
ovules Ovules become seeds.
2 Pollination
Tiny pollen grains form on the stamens
Pollination is the movement of pollen
from the stamens to the ovary.
Pollination usually takes place in the same plant However, wind and insects also carry pollen
to other plants.
3 Seeds and fruit
After pollination, the flower changes Its petals fall.
The ovary grows, and becomes a fruit with seeds
inside When the fruit is ripe, it falls to the ground The fruit opens, and its seeds fall out.
The seeds germinate: they open, and small roots
and tiny leaves grow A new plant forms.
4 Asexual reproduction
Some plants reproduce without flowers or seeds
• Tubers, such as potatoes, are underground stems.
The underground stem develops roots
A thin stem rises above the ground, and develops leaves A complete plant grows.
• Bulbs, such as onions, also grow underground.
• Some plants, such as strawberry plants, have

Invertebrates
COMPARE Compare the photos.
• How many different animals can you see?
• Think of other animals which live in,
or near, the sea.
1 What are invertebrates?
Invertebrates are animals which do not have
a skeleton or a backbone.
•Size:
Most invertebrates are very small, but some, such as giant squids, are enormous.
but others have no covering.
2 How do invertebrates live?
Many invertebrates live in the sea, but some live in fresh water
Others live on land.
Most invertebrates can move, but some attach themselves to rocks
or the sea floor
Others, called parasites,
live inside other animals.
Invertebrates are oviparous
A larva hatches from an egg
At first, it does not look like an adult Then its physical appearance changes.

Worms and light
• Ask: Where do worms live?
(underground)
• Cut off about one-third of the lid
of a shoebox
• Place the earthworms on a wet paper
towel at one end of the box
• Cover the box with the lid making sure
the worms are on the open side Ask:
What will the worms do? (move to the
dark side)
• Place the box away from the light

to rocks or the sea floor They filter seawater,
and retain nutritive substances for food.
• Cnidarians have jelly-like bodies
They are marine animals.
They have tentacles which can sting you
Some, such as coral and sea anemone,
attach themselves to rocks
Others, such as medusas, can move about.
• Worms have long, soft bodies
Some are cylindrical, and others are flat
Some are aquatic, and others are terrestrial
Many are parasites.
• Echinoderms are symmetrical:
they are usually in five parts
They are marine animals
They have a skeleton made of hard plates,
and often have spines
They are covered by a thin skin.
• Arthropods are covered by a hard
exoskeleton Some are aquatic Others
are terrestrial.
• Molluscs have a soft body
Many are covered by one or two shells.

Draw and label
• Ask: Which invertebrate animals can you name?Write suggestions
on the BB
• Ss choose an invertebrate animal and draw it
• They label the body parts
• They write what they know about the invertebrate in the drawing
Invertebrates and food Many peopleinclude invertebrates in their diet,for example, prawns, squid, mussels and snails
Trang 36■ Special attention
• The fact that arachnids are not insects
• Worms and myriapods are two different
groups
can we see in the drawings? (grasshopper,
spider, lobster) Which group do they belong
to? (insect, arachnid, crustacean) Which
invertebrate has a head / thorax /
abdomen? etc
• Have Ss copy this sentence: Arthropods
are invertebrate animals which have
exoskeletons made up of many small plates
• Ss make a double entry chart for
arthropods Down the left, they write
the arthropod groups They write these
headings: Body, Habitat, Other
characteristics, Examples

Pairwork testing Ss use their tables and the information
in their books to test each other on arthropods They shouldprepare a minimum of five questions for their partner and writethem down Student A should ask all the questions first
Student B should not look at his / her book or notes
Then, the roles are reversed and Student B asks the questions.Ask for feedback after a few minutes, e.g How many questions did you get right? Were any of your questions the same?
Arthropods have an external exoskeleton
It is made up of many small plates, and covers the body, legs and antennae.
The exoskeleton is rigid From time to time, the arthropod sheds it, and grows a new, flexible one
As a result, the arthropod can grow until its new exoskeleton becomes rigid.
Arthropod sense organs are well developed:
they have antennae and eyes The eyes can be simple or compound
Compound eyes are made up of many smaller, simpler ‘eyes’.
Insects, arachnids, crustaceans and myriapods are arthropods.
2 Arthropod groups
• Insects: An insect’s body is divided into three parts: head, thorax
and abdomen The head has a mouth, two eyes and two antennae.
The thorax has six legs Many insects also have wings on the thorax.
Insects are the most numerous arthropod group
They are found in many different habitats
Flies and butterflies are insects.
• Arachnids: Arachnids have eight legs.
The body is divided into two parts:
the abdomen and the cephalothorax.
Spiders and scorpions are arachnids.
• Crustaceans: Crustaceans have ten or more legs
Many have long antennae The body is divided into two parts:
the abdomen and the cephalothorax
Lobsters, shrimps and crabs are crustaceans.
• Myriapods: Myriapods have long bodies with many legs
The head has one pair of short antennae
Centipedes and millipedes are myriapods.
Make more questions Change the underlined words.
Do insects have six legs? Is an insect’s body divided into two parts?
Are there many insects or arachnids where you live?
Where do you see them?

mouth antenna head thorax
antenna legs
Making a spider
• Ask: How can we make a spider out
of plasticine?
• Elicit suggestions from Ss First,
make a small ball and a large ball
legs have spiders got? (eight)
• Make four pairs of articulated legs
to place on the cephalothorax
Cochineals Cochineal insects live
on cactus plants The females produce
a deep red dye used to colour cloth,
cosmetics and food
Yes No, three M.A Do arachnids have eight legs?
Do crustaceans have ten legs? Is a crustacean’s body divided into three parts? Is an arachnid’s body divided into three parts?

It is a parasite in humans, pigs and other animals.
For example, a pig eats food contaminated with tapeworm eggs The eggs hatch into larvae in the animal’s intestine.
Then they travel into the bloodstream and the muscles.
If people eat undercooked meat from this infected pig, the larva grows in their intestine It becomes a tapeworm
This parasite absorbs their food and causes weakness and anaemia.
Contaminated animals have eggs in their faeces
These can infect other animals.

4 Investigate Find the names of other human parasites.
