( 10 minutes)
INTRODUCTION
Can we live alone and survive in this world?
Living organisms in an ecosystem are interdependence.
This phenomenon is important in maintaining the balanced of nature.

STATION 2: AN INTERESTING CONCOCTION (15 minutes)
According to the Kinetic Theory of
Matter, matter is made up of discrete
particles which are atoms or
molecules. Particles of matter are not
visible by the naked eye but we can
show that matter is made up of
particles. The three states of matter
are solid, liquid and gas.
TASK : Carry out the activity to see what happens.

STATION 3 Mr. Acid and Mrs. Alkali ( 10 minutes )
INTRODUCTION
Acid and alkali are very useful substances in our daily lives. The word ‘acid’ comes from
the Latin word ‘acidus’, which means sour. Acid is present in fruits and items we use
daily. Alkali is a substance with a bitter taste and soapy feel. There are acids and alkalis
in the laboratory. Many household products contain acids and alkalis too. For example,
car batteries contain sulphuric acid and household cleaners contain alkalis.
TASK
Carry out the following activity:
Task 1
1. There are 6 solutions labeled P,Q, R, S, T, U in the beaker.
2. Pour 5 ml of each solution into test tubes according to the labels.
3. Add 3 drops of universal indicator into each test tube and shake slowly.
4. Observe and record the colour of the mixture.
5. Dispose the mixture and rinse the test.
Task 2
1. Measure 3 ml of solution Q and 3 ml of solution S. Pour them in two different test
tubes.
2. Add solution Q to solution S. Shake the mixture slowly.
3. Add 3 drops of universal indicator into the mixture.

In our daily life , the term work usually means doing a job. When we do work, we
use energy. In science, we say work is done when a force moves an object
through a distance in the same direction as the force.
Po Power is the amount of work done per unit time.
Task:
Carry out this activity at the located staircase.
Working with a partner, you are required to determine
(a) the work done and
(b) the power used when the student climb up the stairs.
Materials/Apparatus
• Metre rule
• Measuring tape
• Stop watch
• Weighing machine
Procedure
1. Measure the vertical height of a staircase in metre.
2. Weigh yourself in kilogramme and change it to newtons.
(I kg weight = 10 N)
3. Holding a stop-watch , record the time you take to run up the flight of
stairs as quickly as you can.
4. Record the results in the table provided and calculate the power you
used in running up the stairs.
Question
1 What is the unit of power?
