widen the students’ horizons, and stimulate reflection on work and progress • The Student’s CD gives an extensive selection of recorded texts • The students’ self-confidence will grow, as their fluency and pronunciation improve • Learner autonomy is encouraged 857430 _ 0001-0015.qxd 23/4/07 13:25 Página Teacher’s Book • Essential Science provides a wealth of material to teachers and students This gives teachers great flexibility to choose They can adapt their work in view of the time the students spend on Science, Geography and History in English • Internet resources are available for teachers and students on our websites Links encourage students to go further in their research • Richmond Student’s Dictionary is a valuable reference tool • Assessment, Extension and Reinforcement worksheets provide teachers with additional resources • Posters and flashcards give teachers important visual back-up Machines Machines make work easier They All machines help us to need energy to

plants which live in hot places (camel, toucan, koala, rattlesnake, cactus), animals and plants which live in temperate places (moose, lynx, rhesus monkey and ferns), animals and plants which live in cold places (peguin, polar bear, walrus, fir tree) Then have students identify the animals which live in trees (orangutan, koala, toucan), the animals which live on the ground (lion, elephant, kangaroo) and animals which live in water (whale, shark, sea lion) 23 21 20 Birth Have students draw and label animals that are born from their mothers (the mammals, including the marine mammals), and animals that are born from eggs: the birds, reptiles, and fish 26 29 27 28 34 37 32 35 33 36 Body Covering • The Teacher’s CDs contain a selection of recorded texts as well as all the Student’s CD

whale, dolphin) and the animals which not have legs, wings or fins (rattlesnake) 38 39 Write these headings on the board: Hair, Scales, Feathers Have students list animals under the headings according to their body covering (e.g., Hair—the mammals, even marine mammals have some facial hair when they are born; Scales—shark, rattlesnake; Feathers—eagle, toucan, parrot, penguin) Body Parts 31 30 Movement Students list animals under these headings: Animals that Run, Animals that Fly, Animals that Swim, Animals that Slither (e.g., run—lion, tiger, reindeer; fly—eagle, toucan, macaw;

like a rainforest • Forests, grasslands and deserts are terrestrial ecosystems The components of an ecosystem are: • Many living things live in forests and grasslands The abundant vegetation provides them with food • Living things: the plants in an ecosystem are called flora The animals are called fauna There are also fungi, bacteria and algae • Few living things live in deserts because there is little food • Freshwater ecosystems, such as rivers and lakes, and marine ecosystems, such as the sea, are aquatic ecosystems • The environment: this refers to the surrounding conditions which affect

Describing the main problems of the environment Elephants An ecosystem is made up of all the living and non-living things found in a specific area It includes the plants and the animals that live there, the landscape and the weather An ecosystem can be as large as the African savanna, pictured here, or as small as a puddle Diet: Elephants digest only about 40 percent of what they eat, and have to eat enormous amounts of vegetation, up to 300 kilogrammes a day Elephants eat almost anything green Social Group: Elephants live in herds normally composed of 8–15 related members led by a dominant cow Rocks Other resources Assessment criteria Ecosystems • • • • Plants and animals are the living parts of an ecosystem The living things in an ecosystem depend on each other For example, elephants eat the fruit of certain trees for nourishment When they have digested the fruit, they excrete the seeds Their excrement fertilizes the seeds, helping a new tree to grow All living things need to get nourishment They get nourisment in different ways: • Plants make their own food • Some animals, called herbivores, eat plants Elephants, wildebeest, zebras and giraffes are herbivores • Other animals, called carnivores, eat animals Lions and hyenas are carnivores Every living thing in an ecosystem is important If one becomes more dominant than the others, the ecosystem can develop problems • If there are too many herbivores in an ecosystem, they will eat all of the plants Then the herbivores will die because there will not be enough to eat If the herbivores die, the carnivores will also die because they will not have enough to eat • If there are too many carnivores in an ecosystem, they will eat all of the herbivores Then the carnivores will die because they not have anything to eat Plants Rocks provide shelter and homes for many types of animals Some animals, such as snakes, seek shelter from the high temperatures in the savanna Others, such as leopards, use the rocks to hide their young from predators Plants are the producers in an ecosystem All of the animals in an ecosystem would die if there were not any plants The herbivores would die because there would not be any plants to eat, and the carnivores would die because there would not be any herbivores to eat Acacias Giraffes Acacia trees are a source of food for elephants and giraffes Leopards often sleep in their high branches, far out of reach of lions and hyenas Diet: Giraffes mainly eat several species of acacias, but they also eat the leaves and shoots of other species Males eat from higher branches and females from lower ones Social Group: Giraffes live in herds of 10–20; herds can reach up to 100 Lions Richmond World Facts Richmond Student's Dictionary Flashcards Posters Soil, water, air and climate are the non-living parts of an ecosystem The non-living parts determine what kinds of plants and animals can survive in an ecosystem For example, if the temperature is very low, polar bears might live there, but snakes will not If there is only a little water, camels might live there, but frogs will not Wildebeest Diet: Wildebeest eat short, sweet grasses and succulent plants Social Group: Herds of over 1,000 animals can sometimes be seen on the savanna, on the move to new pastures Zebras Hyenas Diet: Zebras rely almost entirely on a variety of grasses, but they also eat leaves and twigs Social Group: Zebras are social animals that form small families of 5–20 animals, consisting of a dominant male, females and young Diet: Hyenas kill about 95% of their prey, but they also scavenge for carrion Primary prey includes wildebeest, gazelles, zebra and buffalo Social Group: Hyenas usually live in clans of up to 80 individuals The clan is lead by a dominant female Diet: Prey consists primarily of wildebeest and zebra, but also includes giraffes, buffalo and gazelles Lions also scavenge food, chasing hyenas and other carnivores from their kills Social Group: Lions live in large social groups, called prides A lion pride typically has 20 or more individuals, consisting usually of two males, several females and their young Males stay with a pride as long as they are

Can you see …? – initial state • Go on to analyse the picture systematically, highlighting all the details – final result – sequence of events Enquiry questions Diagrams • These diagrams represent parts of the human body, plants, etc Some are realistic, while others are simplified • Learning should never be a purely mechanical process Questions can be used to elicit prior knowledge, and find out students’ ideas Pregnancy • Students should be encouraged to predict what they will learn: What you know about global warming? What you think this unit / this page is going to be about? Pregnancy is the period from the moment of fertilisation until the birth of the baby This normally lasts about nine months The mother’s body experiences many changes during this period • Comparison

of the class uterus amnion foetus vagina A foetus inside the uterus Activities • Initially, the activities at the bottom of the page should be done orally with the whole class Later, most can be
