CONTENT STANDARD DENSITY
LEARNING STANDARD Innovate objects, food or beverage by using the concept of
density

Assignment:

Some restaurants in Malaysia serve the “three layer tea” drink in their menu. You can enjoy
the uniqueness of the palm sugar taste in fused into the tea. The evaporated milk blends well with the
palm sugar to provide a smooth milky creaminess to the drink.

Innovate a type of food using the concept of density that can be commersialised like three
layer tea in the restaurant. You may use a simple menu card or power point presentation to introduce
your new menu. Your presentation must be interesting to attract people to try the menu.

CONTENT STANDARD DENSITY
LEARNING STANDARD Innovate objects, food or beverage by using the concept of
density
Assignment:
Submarines are large, heavy ships that are often built with steel, so how in the world do they
float on the water?
Investigate how submarines dive and surface by changing their buoyancy in the water. You
are encouraged to build your own miniature submarine and test different levels of buoyancy of your
model. You may change the levels of buoyancy by adding different amount of air and water to your
model submarine.

CONTENT STANDARD Cell structure, function and organisation.

LEARNING STANDARD Communicate about each structures in cells with their
functions as well as compare and contrast animal cells with
plant cells
Assignment:
A simple cell was observed for the first time by Robert Hooke using his own optical
microscope in 1665. Cells carry out life’s functions such as growth, respiration, reproduction and
excretion.
Build a 3- D animal cell or plant cell model with their complete structures for your science
project. The best science projects are the ones you can eat.

CONTENT STANDARD Homeostasis in living things.

LEARNING STANDARD Communicate about homeostasis.
Assignment:
Ever wonder why you shiver, or why you sweat? It’s homestasis! Unlike cold-blooded
animals like lizards and snakes, humans keep the same body temperature at all times. Discover how a
part of your brain called the hypothalamus acts as a kind of thermostat, keeping you as close to
normal temperature as possible.
You may create a multimedia presentations on how homeostasis regulates body temperature
and water in the human body.

CONTENT STANDARD Factors affecting the development of a foetus and baby

LEARNING STANDARD Justify the importance of avoiding the intake of harmful
substances to the foetus.
Justify the benefits of breastfeeding compared to formula
milk on the infants development.
Assignment:
There are problems of miscarriage or abnormality in new born babies that is commonly
associated with unhealthy lifestyle of pregnant mothers such as smoking, drugs abuse and alcohol. A
breastfeeding babies are always said to be more healthier than formula milk babies.
You are required to design a few brochures on the benefits of breastfeeding compared to
formula milk on the infant’s development and the importance of taking nutritious food during
pregnancy to the health of both mother and foetus.
Your brochures should be able to be displayed in all clinics for reference of many people.
