22. HOW IS FOOD DIGESTED?
A C T I V I T Y 1
The food we eat is broken down
and used by our bodies. This
breaking down of food is called
digestion. You may have heard
your stomach gurgling after you
have eaten.
23. HOW IS FOOD DIGESTED?
A C T I V I T Y 1
The stomach, teeth, tongue, and
intestines all help to digest food.
When you chew your food, digestion
begins. The food is pushed by the
tongue to the trapdoor at the back
of the throat called the esophagus.
24. HOW IS FOOD DIGESTED?
A C T I V I T Y 1
It then moves to the stomach where
digestive juices make it smaller.
In the small intestine, the goodness
is soaked up. Finally, water is taken
out in the large intestines.
25. HOW IS FOOD DIGESTED?
A C T I V I T Y 1
The goodness that is left can now be
carried around the body by the blood
to be used for energy, repair,
and growth!

53. How is a Kite Flying?
A C T I V I T Y 2
Kite has used the wind to make it fly
because it is heavier than air. When
wind travels over the surface of the
kite, it is split into two streams of air.
One stream of the air goes over the
kite while the second stream goes
under the kite.
54. How is a Kite Flying?
A C T I V I T Y 2
A kite is an object which is made
from a light stretched over a frame.
Due to its light material, a kite will lift
off the ground and fly when it is tilted
into the wind. The upper stream
creates an area of low pressure
above the kite.
55. How is a Kite Flying?
A C T I V I T Y 2
The lower stream hits the kite
at a shallow angle and creates an
area of high pressure. The high-
pressure area has a pushing effect
while the low-pressure area
has a pulling effect.
56. How is a Kite Flying?
A C T I V I T Y 2
The upper stream creates an area
of low pressure above the kite. The
lower stream hits the kite at a
shallow angle and creates an area
of high pressure.
57. How is a Kite Flying?
A C T I V I T Y 2
The high-pressure area has a
pushing effect while the low-pressure
area has a pulling effect. The
combination of push and pull can
create enough force to lift the kite
into the air.
58. How is a Kite Flying?
A C T I V I T Y 2
Kites have been known for
thousands of years. They are used
to form military or scientific
purposes. Today’s kites are much
used for leisure and competition.

59. RESPIRATION
A C T I V I T Y 2
Every human needs the air that
contains oxygen for breathing.
Without it, we won’t have life and we
can’t do our daily activity. But have
you ever thought about the process
of respiration?
60. RESPIRATION
A C T I V I T Y 2
First, the air enters through our nose.
In the nose, it will be warm by mucus
membrane it will be cleaned by the
soft hairs in the nose. After that,
it flows through the throat, larynx,
and trachea.
61. RESPIRATION
A C T I V I T Y 2
And if there is a strange thing which
is brought by the air, it will be refused
by a web which is located in the
trachea. Then, the air flows through
a branch of bronchus called
bronchioles.
62. RESPIRATION
A C T I V I T Y 2
The last, enters into a branch of
bronchioles called Alveolus. Alveolus
is collection of the lung’s bubble
an it’s a place were the change
between oxygen and
carbon dioxide happens.

A C T I V I T Y 2
That is the process of respiration that
we do overtime because we the

69. Plants are leaving things. Most
plants start from seeds. Plants
need water, air, and sunlight in
order to grow. Plant seeds are
usually buried in the soil.
HOW DO SEEDS GROW?
L E T ’ S R E A D
70. Firstly, the seed cracks open, and
roots begin to grow. Roots suck
water and nutrients from the soil.
After a few days, the stem begins to
grow. As the stem grows thicker
leaves begin to grow.
HOW DO SEEDS GROW?
L E T ’ S R E A D
71. Later, buds grow and develop into
flowers. The flowers drop the seeds
on the ground. Sometimes the wind
even blows the seeds elsewhere.
After the flowers die, the cycle
starts again from the new seeds.

82. What do you feel in the
picture? Have you ever
showered in the rain?
84. Rain is the primary source of fresh
water for most areas of the world,
providing suitable conditions for
diverse ecosystems, as well as
water for hydroelectric power plants
and crop irrigation.
HOW DOES RAIN HAPPEN?
L E T ’ S R E A D
85. The phenomenon of rain is actually
a water cycle. The concept of the
water cycle involves the sun
heating the Earth’s surface water
and causing the surface water
to evaporate.
HOW DOES RAIN HAPPEN?
L E T ’ S R E A D
86. The water vapor rises into the Earth’s
atmosphere. The water atmosphere
cools and condenses into droplets. The
droplets grow until they are heavy and
fall to the Earth as precipitation which
can be in the form of rain and snow.
HOW DOES RAIN HAPPEN?
L E T ’ S R E A D
87. However, not all rain is reaching the
surface. Some evaporate while falling
through dry air. This is called virga,
a phenomenon that is often seen in hot,
dry desert regions.
