~ IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ANGELS ~

Dear Angels,

The exams are finally over! =)

You can be more relax now, but it does not mean that there will not be any work.

School and lesson will still carry on as per normal.

Your subject teachers will continue teaching.

There are still some chapters that are not included in the exam that you will still need to learn, thus there will still be homework.

PLEASE DO NOT BE ABSENT THIS WEEK.

YOU WILL BE GETTING BACK YOUR SA2 PAPERS THESE FEW DAYS FOR CHECKING.

YOUR TEACHER WILL THEN KEY IN ALL THE MARKS WITHIN THESE 2 DAYS AND YOU WILL GET YOUR REPORT BOOK BACK BY THIS WEEK.

SO DO NOT MISS ANY LESSON!

~ Systems Activity Book ~

Systems Activity Book Pg. 10

b)  Group A : Mango, Grass, Pandan
     Group B : Papaya, Chrysanthemum
     Group C: Hibiscus



Pg. 16 - 17

Functions of each part

Leaves - Make food for the plant

Stem - Supports the leaves and helps them to reach for sunlight
         - Has tubes to transport water, mineral salts and food

Roots - Hold the plant firmly to the ground
          - Take in water and mineral salts from the soil


What would happen if each part is missing?

Leaves - The plant will not be able to make food. It will not have energy and it will soon die.

Stem - The leaves will not get water to make food. The plant will not get the mineral salts needed for its healthy growth and food for energy. It will soon die.

Roots - The plant will not be held firmly to the ground. It will be easily blown away or washed away. The plant will not be able to get water and mineral salts from the soil. It will soon die.


Conclusion
All the parts of a plant carry out different functions and work together to make sure that the plant lives and grows well.

~ Timed Trial 6 ~

Answers for Timed Trial 6


1) 306 - 34 = 272

272 divide by 2 = 136 (smaller number)

Bigger number ---->   136 + 34 = 170



2i)  3 units -----> 30

1 unit ---->  30 divided by 3 = 10

5 units ---->  10 x 5 = 50 ( The number is 50)



ii)   9/10 of the number means 9/10 of 50.

10 units ----->  50

1 unit ---> 50 divided by 10 = 5

9 units ---->  9 x 5 = 45

9/10 of the numbe is 45. 




3)  Change 2/5 into 4/10.   

So 3 whole and 4/10   is  3.4   




4)  Change 3/25  into  12/100.

So 7 whole and 12/100  is 7.12




5) Change 0.005 into 5/1000.

5/1000 simplest form is 1/200

So 3.005 is    3whole 1/200.
