Growth is the permanent increase in size of an organism due to increase in number of cells.
Growth is brought about by cell division. Development is a series of orderly changes by which a
living thing comes into maturity. It is a series of changes that occur during growth.
Changes in Non – living things:
Physical changes and chemical changes
Matter consist of solid, liquid and Gas it undergoes changes from solid to liquid, liquid to solid,
gas to solid, liquid to gas when exposed to heat, light or air.
Examples of chemical changes are burning, cooking, rusting, and rotting.
Examples of physical changes are boiling, melting, freezing, and shredding.
Many physical changes are reversible if sufficient energy is supplied.
Examples of Physical Changes
Crushing a can.
cooking of food.
burning of wood.
ripening of fruits.

Basic technology
Airflow, or air flow, is the movement of air. The primary cause of airflow is the existence of air.
Air behaves in a fluid manner, meaning particles naturally flow from areas of higher pressure to
those where the pressure is lower. Atmospheric air pressure is directly related to altitude,
temperature, and composition.
Pneumatics is how air pressure powers and moves something. Essentially, pneumatics puts
compressed air to practical use by moving applications like the tools and machinery used in the
engineering, manufacturing and construction industries.
Hydraulic machines use liquid fluid power to perform work. Heavy construction vehicles are a
common example. In this type of machine, hydraulic fluid is pumped to various hydraulic motors
and hydraulic cylinders throughout the machine and becomes pressurized according to the
resistance present.

those key facts, skills, values, attitudes, concepts and generalizations in the existing disciplines
and structuring the contents around those that are of more immediate relevance to our realities.
A generalization is a broad statement about a subject based on information, observations, and
experiences. What is a fact? Facts are statements that can be proven true.
Concepts are the overarching ideas or enduring understandings that are threaded through the K–
12 social studies standards. Power, regulation, distribution and innovation are examples of
concepts. Explicitly focusing instruction on concepts emphasizes big ideas that are universal.

A graphics package is an application that can be used to create and manipulate images on
a computer. There are two main types of graphics package: painting packages. drawing
packages.
A Graphics package is a General Purpose package used to draw pictures. What is it used
for? Draw Graphic: You can draw graphics such as line, boxes, circles by selecting tools
from a tool palette.
There are two major types of graphic packages, raster or painting, and vector or drawing
applications. Raster graphic applications are resolution-based. Images are based on
pixels; when scaled they lose quality and clarity. Vector graphics are resolution-
independent.
History
The Ghana Empire, also known as Wagadou (Arabic: )غاناor Awkar, was a West
African empire based in the modern-day southeast of Mauritania and western Mali that existed
from c. 300 until c. 1100. The Empire was founded by the Soninke people, and was based in the
city of Koumbi Saleh.
Complex societies, some based on trans-Saharan trade in salt and gold had existed in the region
for centuries at the time of the empire's formation. The introduction of the camel to the western
[1]
Sahara in the 3rd century AD served as a major catalyst for the transformative social changes
that resulted in the empire's formation. By the time of the Muslim conquest of North Africa in
the 7th century, the camel had changed the ancient, more irregular trade routes into a trade
network running from Morocco to the Niger River. The Ghana Empire grew rich from this
increased trans-Saharan trade in gold and slaves and salt, allowing for larger urban centers to
develop. The traffic furthermore encouraged territorial expansion to gain control over the
different trade routes.
When Ghana's ruling dynasty began remains uncertain among historians. The first identifiable
mention of the imperial dynasty in written records was made by Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-
Khwarizmi in 830. Further information about the empire was provided by the accounts
