Unit 4 Lesson 1 Interesting Fact

Hi,boys and girls, do you know that all raw meat, poultry and shellfish are contaminated with bacteria some of which may cause food poisoning; therefore these foods require careful handling and proper cooking to guarantee their safety. Temperature control is the key to safe handling. Shellfish should never be allowed to stand at room temperature for more than two hours. Bacteria that cause food spoilage or illness, or both, multiply rapidly at room temperature. Refrigerator temperatures of 40° F or less significantly slow the growth of spoilage bacteria and stop the growth of food poisoning bacteria.

Unit 4 Lesson 2 Enrichment Activity

Enrichment Activity
Hi, boys and girls, today I want share to all of you how to make salted egg.
We know that salting is an age-old way of preserving food and salted egg is a simple Asian recipe. It's typically eaten as an appetizer; however, it complements main dishes well. The original Asian recipe calls for duck eggs, which you can find at most Asian grocery stores. Duck eggs are large and have a creamier texture than chicken eggs, but chicken eggs will suffice if duck eggs are not available.

Things You'll Need

12 large eggs, table salt, water and large jar with lid

Instruction
1.Place 12 uncooked eggs into a large jar. Carefully  
  place the eggs on top of one another to avoid
  cracking.
2.Combine 1 cup of salt and 6 cups of water. Stir  
   the mixture until the salt dissolves.
3.Pour the saltwater inside the jar and seal it tight.
   Let the jar sit at room temperature for 30 days.
4.Take the eggs out of the jar and boil them.
   Refrigerate the eggs after boiling and consume
   them whenever you want.

Science Y4: Latest News!!


Hi, everyone !
               Please pay attention!
Pindaan dalam Huraian Sukatan Pelajaran Sains Terjemahan Tahun 4 Berkaitan Status Planet Pluto Dalam Sistem Suria.

By the end of the International Astronomical Union (IAU) General Assembly on 24 August 2006 at Prague, the IAU therefore resolves that planets and other bodies, except satellites, in our solar system be defined into three distinct categories in the following way:
1)A “planet” is a celestial body that
a)is in orbit around the Sun,
b)has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to
   overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes
   a hydrostatic equilibrium ( nearly round ) shape
   and
c)has cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit
                                                                                       

The eight ‘planets’ are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

2)A ‘dwarf planet’ is a celestial body that
a)is in orbit around the Sun
b)has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to
   overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes
   a hydrostatic  equilibrium ( nearly round )
   shape and
c)has cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit
d)is not a satellite

3)’Small Solar-System Bodies’ referred all other
objects (Solar System asteroids most Trans-
Neptunium Objects (TNOa), comets and other
small bodies) except satellites orbiting the
Sun.
