 Tips for Parents
Here are a few tips that will help your child
get the most out of the worksheets:

~. Let the child set the pace.

~. Provide a quiet place for the child to work.

~. Give the child colourful pencils to make it more fun.

~. Intervene only if the child asks for help.
. Check completed work immediately and provide
feedback.
 Eggs-periencing Air Pressure
The air in the atmosphere is always pressing against everything. You
can,t feel it, but you can see it in action in this experiment. It,s time
to use the incredible power of air pressure.

You will need a. Saucepan

~ - - ~ - - ~ ~,,.-
6. Water
c. One egg
d. Bowl
e. Glass bottle with neck slightly less
than the egg

Ask an adult to boil an egg in

water for atleast 5 minutes.
Cool the egg by putting it in
a bowl of cold water for a
minute. When it is cold
enough to handle, peel off
the shell.

01
Place the egg on top of the bottle. No
matter how long you leave ifi it won t 1

slide into the bottle.

Ask an adult to strike two

matches. Lift the egg> drop the
matches inside the bottle> and
quickly place the egg back on top.

After a few seconds> the egg will

squeeze down inside the bottle.

02
\ t~-
- _,,,___

When you drop the burning matches into the bottle, it

heats the air inside. The warm air expands and some of
it escapes out of the bottle. When the matches go out,
the air cools down and the pressure drops. The air
outside the bottle now has a higher pressure, so it
pushes its way in by forcing the egg inside the bottle.

Copper - the bacteria sto~perl

~--..........c~~-
Copper cookware is most highly recommended by
many chefs worldwide. The heating is uniform and
there are no hotspots. Being naturally antibacteriaL
copper inhibits the spread of bacteria in water and
air. Thus, people prefer to drink water from a copper
glass.

 Food of the Gods
Most of us picture a bar1 an icecream or a bunny at the slightest
sound of the word chocolate. The verb that comes to mind is most
certainly eat and not drink and the most precise aqjective would
seem to be sweet. For most of its history> chocolate was actually
consumed as a bitter beverage rather than a sweet delight also
the sweetness was not as close to the chocolate that we enjoy
today. Yes1 the chocolate was not always sweet! The semi-solid
mass that rejuvenates the taste buds has been through massive
evolution throughout the history of man. Anthropologists have
found evidence that chocolate was produced by pre-olmec
cultures living in present-day Mexico as early as 1900 B.C. The
ancient Mesoamericans who first cultivated cacao plants found in
the tropical rainforests of Central America fermented> roasted
and ground the cacao beans into a paste that they mixed with
water> vanilla> honey> chillL peppers and other spices to brew a
frothy chocolate drink. The people from that era would find it
quite difficult to believe the wonders that this sweet little thing
would create in future.
 Food of the Gods
In the contemporary world> chocolate is often labelled as a stress
reliever that stimulates the taste buds> along with this1 it is also
considered as one of the major causes of obesity among kids and
adults across the globe. That 1s heartbreaking right? How can this
wonderfully delightful edible thing be bad for health? There is no
doubt that chocolate is an epitome of comfort food> an escape in
times of stress> a consolation when life has let us down and a
mood-enhancer. But is it at all healthy? Consumption in unregulated
and mockingly large quantities> obviously not. But there is a host of
medically proven ways in which chocolate - good chocolate> which
is to say dark chocolate> with a cocoa percentage of around
seventy percent or more - really is good for us .

•
""
- •
Over the years> chocolate has received a lot of negative attention
because of its fat content its consumption getting associated with
high blood pressure> acne> obesity> coronary artery disease> and
diabetes. Chocolate has a high-calorie count containing large
amounts of sugar. Therefore> if an individual is trying to slim down
or maintain their weight it may be a good idea to set a limit on
the chocolate consumption.
 Food of the Gods

The large quantity of sugar in most chocolates can also be a cause

of tooth decay. In addition> there is research suggesting that
chocolate might cause poor bone structure and osteoporosis.

There>s another side of the story:

Theobroma Cacao> the Latin name for chocolate> means «Food of

the Gods» for a reason. I t s a heavenly way to lift your
1

performance. We re not talking about junk chocolate in candy bars

1

and sweet dessertsi dark chocolate has a long history being used
as a healing plant a mood enhancer. You can indeed use high-quality
chocolate to take delightful control of anatomy.
 Food of the Gods
Today, chocolate is lauded for its tremendous antioxidant potential.
The high cocoa content in chocolate has many health benefits and
the less sugar content is good for overall health. Traditional
chocolate is one of the most concentrated sources of natural
antioxidant plant compounds called flavonoids. Cocoa products
account for a major proportion of flavonoid intake.

Flavonoids have been found to improve the mental abilities and

functioning of the brain but they are bitter and astringent. This is
why many companies add sugar and milk fat. Unfortunately, these
additions, along with other processing methods, can inhibit the
absorption of the flavonoids . Cocoa also contains a compound
called pentameric procyanidin, or pentamer, which disrupts cancer
cell s ability to spread. When researchers from the Lombardi
1

Comprehensive Cancer Center at Georgetown University treated

cancer cells with pentamer back in 2005, the proteins necessary
for cancer growth were suppressed and the cells stopped dividing.

~..•
 Food of the Gods
Apart from its antioxidant contents and cancer suppressing
capabilities, a recent study found that dark chocolate helps
restore flexibility to arteries while also restricting white blood cells
from clinging to the walls of blood vessels - both common causes
of artery clogging. It helps in regulating and maintaining a healthy
cardiovascular system. The antioxidants present in chocolate give
us glowing and healthy skin. The food of gods, chocolate protects
against blood inflammation, reduces the likelihood of a heart
attack and reduces the risk of diabetes. It also lowers cholesterol
and reduces memory decline. Eating chocolate during pregnancy
has benefited fetal growth and development. Chocolate may also
streamline cognitive function .

So, the next time you take a bite of that chocolate, you may not
have to feel overly guilty about it, there are a number of health
benefits associated with this deliciously wonderful food of gods,
and of course, the taste is so great.

is shiny and doesn't corrode, this means it is a great

metal for making jewellery.

+ The chemical symbol used for silver is Ag, this comes from the
Latin word for silver, argentum.

+ While aluminium is the most common metal found in the

Earth's crust, the most common metal found on Earth is iron,
mostly because it makes up such a large part of the Earth's
core.
