Grade Level Standard 4Subject Social StudiesStrand Landforms and LocationsUnit Title Belize’s Coastal ZoneLearning Outcome 6.1 Describe some major features of Belize’s coastline including beaches,

mangroves, saltwater lagoons, cayes and the barrier reef.Belize’s Majestic Coastline

Belize has a long, flat coastline. The central part of the coastline is open to the Caribbean Sea, but the northern coastline, near Corozal, forms one side of Chetumal Bay. At the other end of the country, south of Punta Gorda Town, the coast borders the Amatique Bay. Across this bay are the Guatemalan towns of Livingston and Puerto Barrios. These places are quite easy to find using a physical map or Google Earth.

The coastline of Belize has many interesting features, including reefs, beaches, mangroves, cayes, swamp-lands and saltwater lagoons. One feature is the barrier reef, which is the second-longest barrier reef in the world. The barrier reef shelters Belize’s shore from destructive hurricane and tsunami threats. Belize also has some world famous atolls. These include the Great Blue Hole.

Many of the world’s coastlines have beaches. A beach is a strip of sand, small rocks and sea shells that forms along the coast. Beaches can be both built and destroyed by the action of the sea. For example, the beach at Monkey River is being constantly eroded. A hurricane can destroy a beach overnight. However, the beach will then be rebuilt by the sea over the following years.

There are hundreds of islands off the coast of Belize. St. George’s Caye acted as the first capital of Belize. Other cayes, like Ambergris Caye and Caye Caulker, are visited by people from all over the world. These islands have beaches. Another place that has a famous beach is Placencia in the Stann Creek District. Placencia also has a saltwater lagoon. A lagoon is like a lake that has an opening to the sea.

Mangrove forests are another major feature of our majestic coastline. Mangroves are salt tolerant trees which can survive in swampy flooded soils. Red Mangrove, Black Mangrove, White Mangrove and Buttonwood are four mangrove types found in Belize. These mangrove forests are important for maintaining coastal ecosystems. Mangroves trap silt which originates from land but finds itself in the sea due to human-based and natural activities. Like the barrier reef, mangroves are particularly important because they are key to protecting the land during times of hurricane and other storms.

mangroves, saltwater lagoons, cayes and the barrier reef.

Belize’s Barrier Reef

A barrier reef is a structure in the sea made by coral. Corals are colourful, invertebrate animals. Each individual coral is called a polyp. Hundreds or thousands of polyps join together to make a reef.

The Belize barrier reef is one of the most pristine reef ecosystems in the Western Hemisphere and was referred to ‘as the most remarkable reef in the West Indies’ by Charles Darwin, the world famous scientist who discovered evolution. Outside of the reef complex, there three atolls: Turneffe Island, Lighthouse Reef and Glover’s Reef. The Barrier Reef and atolls exhibit some of the best reef growth in the Caribbean. The reef complex is comprised of approximately 450 sand and mangrove cayes.

Additionally, the barrier reef provides important habitat for a number of threatened marine species, including the West Indian manatee, green turtle, hawksbill turtle, loggerhead turtle and the American crocodile. It is the home of major bird colonies including the red-footed booby on Half-Moon Caye and the brown booby on Man O’War Caye. Over fish species and a great diversity of sponges, marine worms and crustaceans live in and around the reef. This makes it a great place for recreation and to conduct research.

The Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996. It includes seven protected areas: Bacalar Chico National Park and Marine Reserve, Blue Hole Natural Monument, Half Moon Caye Natural Monument, South Water Caye Marine Reserve, Glover’s Reef Marine Reserve, Laughing Bird Caye National Park and Sapodilla Cayes Marine Reserve. It is the largest reef complex in the Atlantic-Caribbean region and the second largest reef system in the world.

Grade Level Standard 4Subject Social StudiesStrand Landforms and LocationsUnit Title Belize’s Coastal ZoneLearning Outcome 6.6 Identify actions and laws that can help protect Belize’s coastline and

barrier reef from damage caused by natural forces and human activity.Protecting the Coast

From north to south many beautiful beaches line the coast of Belize. These beaches are complemented by the magnificent barrier reef, which is Belize’s largest tourist attraction. Between the barrier reef and the coastline of the mainland, there are hundreds of small islands. Together, the beaches, the barrier reef and the cayes make up a wonderful, but fragile, ecosystem.

Many people live along the coastline and some use the sea as a source for their livelihood. These include fisher folk and people working in the tourism industry. In most years, many thousands of tourists visit the area for recreation. Belize’s marine areas are also home for researchers studying the natural environment. Unfortunately, the activities of these people can damage the coastal zone.

The government has passed various laws to help preserve the country’s marine areas for future generations. These include the Fisheries Act which sets closed seasons and areas that restrict fishing. This is important to prevent over-fishing, which occurs when so many fish are caught that the number left in the sea becomes too small. Another law is the National Protected Areas System Act which sets up various marine reserves and protected areas. Human activities are restricted in these areas to help protect the environment. In 2018, the government of Belize also decided to put a stop to exploration for oil in its coastal waters. This is a great step to ensure that oil spills and other damaging effects of oil exploration will not kill or destroy the vibrant eco-system of our wonderful barrier reef.

Equally important is preservation of mangroves. These plants hold together the sand and soil along our coastline. If they are chopped for development and other purposes, the sand and soil get loose and erosion takes place. Like the barrier reef, mangroves provide a habitat for a wide range of plants and animals. They also have a special role to play in protecting young marine creatures so they can grow into adults.

The new mangroves regulations that came into effect on June 23rd, 2018, place greater emphasis on the management and conservation of mangroves. These regulations also strengthen penalties and fines to discourage illegal mangrove alteration. In some cases, the Ministry of Sustainable Development and Environment may issue a permit for alteration of mangroves in a sustainable manner. This will ensure minimal damage to this important feature of our coastline.

Grade level Standard 4Subject ScienceStrand Living ThingsUnit Title Animal DiversityLearning Outcome 6.2 Discuss adaptations as physical differences in local animal species

that enable them to survive in their ecosystem. Animal Adaptations

Many years ago, a man called Charles Darwin was visiting the Galapagos Islands. These are isolated islands in the Pacific Ocean. He observed the beaks of birds called finches that lived on the different islands. Some finches had beaks that were long, thin and pointed. Others had beaks that were short, fat and rounded. Darwin realized that the type of beak a bird had was related to its main source of food. The long pointy beaks were good for pulling insects out of holes in trees. The short, fat beaks were better for eating nuts.

What Darwin had discovered is that animals can adapt to their environment. In other words, over a long period of time, they change in ways that help them survive better.

Jaguars live in the rainforest. They have spots that help them stay hidden among the trees. This type of adaptation is called camouflage because it makes it difficult for other animals to see them. Jaguar are great swimmers. This helps them catch fish. Jaguars have strong claws for tree climbing and padded paws for stealthily following prey without being noticed.

Crocodiles are cold-blooded creatures that breathe air but hunt for food in water. Crocodiles have special muscles to keep water out of their nostrils. They can lie just under the surface of the water with just their eyes and nose poking out. Crocodiles also have tremendously powerful jaws that allow them to grab large animals and drag them under the water.

Many creatures have adaptations designed to protect them from being eaten. For example, turtles and armadillos have hard shells. Octopuses have a very unusual adaptation. When an octopus feels in danger, it squirts a dark liquid into the water which allows it to escape from its predators.

Physical adaptations are crucial for the survival of many animals in their different habitats. If it were not for these adaptations, many animals would be unable to find food or would be attacked and killed easily by their predators.

Grade level Standard 4Subject ScienceStrand Living Things Unit Title Animal Diversity Learning Outcome 6.5 Discuss different natural changes to the ecosystem that can affect the

diversity of local animal species. Changes in an Ecosystem

An ecosystem consists of all the living and non living elements of an area and how they link together. In a lake, both fish and plants live in the water. The plants provide oxygen, food and shelter for the fish. When the fish eat the plants, they stop the lake from getting overgrown. Insects live at the lake and pollinate the plants, helping them to reproduce. Both insects and fish provide food for birds. This type of ecosystem is balanced and can provide a habitat for many different types of life.

Most animals are adapted to their ecosystem. If the ecosystem changes, some may struggle to survive. For example, when sea water gets too warm, coral gets rid of the colourful algae that grows in it. The coral can turn completely white and it is more likely to die. Changes in an ecosystem can also cause a change in the availability of food.

The weather, natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes, droughts, floods and fires, the arrival of new predators and diseases can all change an ecosystem. If some types of plant struggle so survive in the new environment, they will not be able to provide food for as many animals. The animals that are not able to get enough food will die and the number of different species found in the ecosystem will go down.

One of the biggest ecosystem changes of all time happened sixty-five million years ago when a huge meteorite slammed into the earth. This, along with many huge volcanic eruptions and earthquakes changed the earth’s climate causing large amounts of plants to die. The dinosaurs that fed off these plants began to disappear, leading, in turn, to the end of meat eating dinosaurs as well. Because of the dramatic changes to the world’s ecosystems caused by the meteorite, dinosaurs became extinct.

Grade level Standard 4Subject ScienceStrand Living Things Unit Title Animal Diversity Learning Outcome 6.5 Discuss different natural changes to the ecosystem that can affect the

diversity of local animal species. Coconut Invasion

Palmyra is an atoll found one thousand miles south of Honolulu, the capital of Hawaii in the Pacific Ocean. Palmyra has been taken over by coconut palms. This species is making it hard for many sea birds and other plants to survive. Birds such as the red footed booby do not like to build nests in coconut palms because they are too unstable. Coconut palms also suck moisture out of the soil at a fast rate. This makes it hard for other trees to grow.

About seventy years ago, another species invaded Palmyra: the black rat. Scientists believe the rats arrived on the island from American ships. Since there were no natural predators of rats on the island, there were soon tens of thousands of them. The rats ate the seeds and saplings of plants and the eggs of birds that nested on the ground. The rats also competed with land crabs for food.

The combined invasion of coconut palms and rats has changed the ecosystem of Palmyra. Its biodiversity has been reduced. Some birds, such as petrels, that used to live on the island, are no longer found there. On the other hand, the island has millions of mosquitoes which feed off the rats’ blood.

Some scientists are trying to remove the coconut palms and rats from the island. They hope this will allow rare sea birds, land crabs and local plant species to thrive. It will also help get rid of the mosquitoes.

Grade Level Standard 4Subject HFLEStrand Diet and DiseaseUnit Title Non-Communicable Diseases Learning Outcome 6.1 Describe the causes, symptoms and recommended methods for the

prevention of cavities and diseases that affect the mouth.Keeping my Mouth and Teeth Healthy

Today at school, I was sitting with my best friend Amy. We were having a very interesting conversation until she told me my breath stank. That hurt my feelings a lot!“We can’t all have beautiful teeth and good breath like you,” I snapped. “My teeth aren’t special,” Amy said. “Teeth need looking after, Ashely. I can tell you how in a flash! Let me describe to you my morning routine. The first thing I do in the morning, when I wake up is brush my teeth, I then eat breakfast. I brush my teeth for a second time, taking care to get rid of any food that is stuck in my mouth. Then I thoroughly rinse my mouth with water, of mouth wash if I have it.”“Wait,” I said. “Why do I even need to brush my teeth in the morning? I only do it once a day, before I go to bed.”“Firstly, like I said, you have to remove bits of food from your mouth. Not only do you look silly with food stuck in your teeth, bits of food help the bacteria that causes bad breath and tooth decay. Secondly, you need to remove plaque. That is a sticky film on your teeth that can cause cavities, gum disease and tooth loss.” “What are cavities?” I asked.“Cavities are holes in your teeth. If you don’t have them fixed, they can cause you a lot of pain. Cavities are caused by bacteria and acidic food and drink.”“So if I only brush my teeth once a day, any food stuck in my mouth will help bacteria spread and plaque will have more time to eat away at my teeth,” I said. “From tomorrow, I will brush my teeth twice every day. After all, it only takes a few seconds.”“Mmm,” said Ashely. “I wonder if you are brushing your teeth the right way. When was the last time you changed your toothbrush. If it was more than three months, throw it out and get a new one. Take your time when brushing. Make sure you reach all your teeth, even the ones at the back. You also need to brush your gums. If you don’t you will definitely get bad breath and maybe gum disease. You really don’t want that.”Do you remember in infant class they made us watch videos about brushing your teeth? I can still remember the song,” Ashely continued.“Brush your teeth up and down. Brush your teeth round and round.Brush your teeth from left to right.Brush your teeth in the morning and night.”Amy’s singing made me laugh. After that we walked around the school, arm in arm, singing the song. After all, Ashely was my best friend, and best friends look out for each other.

Grade Level Standard 4Subject HFLEStrand Diet and DiseaseUnit Title Non-Communicable Diseases Learning Outcome 6.2 Describe the causes, symptoms, effects and recommended methods

for the prevention of anaemia, diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity and heart related diseases

Jerry’s New Life Style

I want to tell you about my friend Jerry. We both work for the Belize Beverage Company. Last year, Jerry, who is five foot ten inches tall weighed two hundred and fifty pounds. He told his friends it was all muscle, but really, Jerry was obese.

During the day, Jerry liked to drink sodas. He also liked to drink a couple of beers, eat fried chicken and smoke a cigarette when he got home from work. If that didn’t fill him up, Jerry would make himself some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Sometimes he followed that with ice cream.

Jerry liked his lifestyle. He liked to watch movies and play video games. He had no intention of exercising and no intention of changing his diet. Jerry thought he had a good life. I was worried about him, though. Sometimes, when the supervisor asked him to carry a barrel of beer out to the trucks, Jerry would feel his heart racing. He was also getting out of breath too often.

One morning, Jerry and I were driving to work in his old Honda Accord. He started having terrible pains in his chest and upper arms. “It feels like someone is squeezing my chest,” he managed to whisper. He began to sweat. Jerry pulled off the road but he couldn’t get out of the car. I pulled him into the passenger seat and started to drive. Fast! I should have called 911 but I was in a panic. I knew he had to get help.

Jerry survived. “You are a lucky man,” the doctor said to him. “You almost died today. You had a small heart attack.”

Jerry was shocked. He only thirty-eight years old. He considered himself to be healthy. He looked the doctor in the eyes. “Tell me the worst,” he said.

“Next time you might not be so lucky,” said the doctor. “Your blood pressure is still very high and your veins are probably getting blocked by cholesterol. We will do some tests and put you on medication but it could happen again.”

“You need to change your lifestyle if you want to see your fiftieth birthday,” the doctor continued. “You need to stop drinking beer, you need to stop smoking, you need to change your diet and you need to start to exercise.”

The next day, Jerry woke up and had to take his medications. He did not have to do that before, and so he made a resolution to make the changes he needed. He wanted to live a long time.

“I’ve never been really healthy,” he said to himself. “I’ve always eaten whatever I wanted. My mom


11

had always made sure the refrigerator had plenty of ice cream and snacks in it.”

Thinking of his mom made Jerry want to cry. He had not visited her to a long time. She suffered from diabetes. She was always tired and recently her eyesight had become very bad. On some days, she was very weak and dizzy.

Jerry got out of bed. He made himself a bowl of oats put some fruit in it. He went to the refrigerator for some milk. He had no milk but there was plenty of beer. He took each bottle one by one and poured it down the sink.

From that day, Jerry was a changed man. The next time he went to the clinic, he was glad to find out that he weighed less and his blood pressure was dropping. On the way home, he went to see his sister. She had two boys, Spike and Thomas. They were nine and eleven years old but they were already overweight.

He looked hard at his sister “Our mom was great but I wish she hadn’t given us so much ice cream and there were always sodas in the refrigerator. We can’t do the same things to our own children. We need to help them stay healthy.”

Grade Level Standard 4Subject HFLEStrand Diet and DiseaseUnit Title Non-Communicable Diseases Learning Outcome 6.3 Explain the similarities and differences between communicable and non-

communicable diseases.

Communicable and Non-Communicable Diseases

A disease is an illness that impairs or prevents the body from working normally. A person who has a disease usually shows symptoms or signs of the disease such as coughing or fever. Some diseases have symptoms that are not easily recognizable and require medical professionals and tests to determine them.

Communicable diseases

There are two main types of diseases: communicable and non-communicable. Another word for communicable is infectious. Some of the most common diseases are communicable. These include the common cold, influenza, conjunctivitis, dengue and chicken pox. Most people will contract one of these diseases at least once in their lifetime.

Communicable diseases are caused by microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria and fungi. The microorganisms can be spread from one person to another in a variety of ways. Some communicable diseases, such as colds, influenza and Covid-19 can be spread by coughing and sneezing. Others, such as H.I.V. are spread through sexual activity. Mosquitoes and other insects spread diseases such as malaria, dengue and zika. The final way that communicable diseases are often spread is through infected water. Cholera is an example of a disease spread in this way.

The main point to remember about communicable diseases is that they are caused by microorganisms, or germs, that can transferred from person to person or animal to person. This means that a person who is sick can spread the germs to others.

The risk of becoming ill from a communicable disease can be prevented by washing hands often, avoiding contact with people who are showing symptoms such as coughing or sneezing, and reducing the sharing of water bottles, food, or personal items. The spread of a communicable disease can be prevented if a sick person stays at home and avoids being in contact with others. Everyone should also take care to clean their environment so mosquitoes do not have a place to breed.

Many, but not all, communicable diseases can be prevented by vaccinations. Measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus and the human papilloma virus can be prevented by vaccines.

Non-Communicable Diseases

Not all diseases are contagious! Diseases that aren’t spread from person to person are called non-communicable diseases. Examples of non-communicable diseases are hypertension, anaemia, diabetes,


13

cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease. Some non-communicable diseases are inherited. They are caused by genes that are passed to the child by their parents. Other non-communicable diseases are caused by lifestyle, particularly poor eating habits and a lack of exercise.

Non-communicable diseases linked to lifestyle can be prevented by good eating habits, the avoidance of alcohol, tobacco and other recreational drugs, maintaining a healthy weight and exercising regularly.

Diseases are a fact of life, but with a little awareness and healthy habits, you can reduce your risk.

Grade Level Standard 4Subject HFLEStrand Diet and DiseaseUnit Title Non-Communicable Diseases Learning Outcome 6.5 Describe common symptoms of depression.

Elise Seeks Help

Elise was well liked at school. Nobody had a bad word to say about her and her grades were good. Often she was happy and relaxed but sometimes she felt like she was dying on the inside. One day she sat in class and thought about suicide. She thought about how it would shock everyone if she actually did it! Elise stopped spending time with her friends. They didn’t understand her and she didn’t want to talk to them.

“What is happening to me?” she wondered. “Why is this happening?”

Elise looked in the mirror constantly. She didn’t like what she saw. At the weekends, she liked to stay in bed as long as she could. She also found that she had no appetite. She did not want to eat. At school, she stopped answering questions in class and she found it hard to finish her homework. Her grades began to slide downwards.

Elise’s teacher thought she was depressed. Being depressed is not the same as just being sad from time to time. Depression keeps going for a long period of time. There is no single reason why people get depressed. It might be caused by physical illness, a change in circumstances or a really disturbing event.

Elise’s teacher told her how valuable she was to her family and the world. She talked to Elise’s parents and they agreed to talk to the school counsellor. Over the next few months, Elise recovered from her depression. She is now at high school. She has a small group of friends that she really likes and she has joined a volleyball team. Elise no-longer thinks about suicide.


15

Grade Level Standard 4Subject HFLEStrand Diet and DiseaseUnit Title Non-Communicable Diseases Learning Outcome 6.6 Identify dangers associated with excessive exposure to the sun,

including dehydration, heat rash, sunburn, heat stroke and skin cancer.Protecting Yourself from the Sun

The sun gives life. However, too much sun can be dangerous. One effect of too much sun is dehydration. This means the body is not getting enough water. Dehydration is not just feeling thirsty. It can cause a dry mouth, headaches and dizziness. More severe dehydration can affect your coordination. The best fix for dehydration is to drink enough water, especially on hot days and during exercise.

Heat rash are bumps or blisters on the skin. They can be very itchy. It is caused when the skin’s pores get blocked and sweat is trapped under the skin. Heat rash usually heals itself if the skin is kept clean.

Heat stroke is a more serious condition. It is your body overheating, usually because of being in the sun too long. Doing strenuous exercise on a hot day can also cause heat stroke. The signs of heat stroke are a high body temperature, often with a dry skin, a racing heart, and mental confusion. Sometimes heat stroke causing vomiting, fast breathing and a head ache. If someone has heat stroke, they must be taken to a cool place. Excessive clothing should be removed and the person needs to be cooled down. They can be put under a cold shower or sprayed with water. Wet towels can be put on their legs. If they do not show immediate signs of improvement, then an ambulance should be called.

Too much sun can make our skin become red, painful and hot to the touch. This is sunburn. It appears within hours of too much exposure to the sun and it can last for several days. Unfortunately, sunburn can cause damage to skin cells, which makes skin cancer more likely. The good news is that sunburn can easily be avoided. If you are going to be outside in the hot sun for a long time, where a hat and clothing that covers your arms and legs. You should also cover unprotected skin with suntan cream or lotion.

Skin cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal skin cells. Sunburn and exposure to too much sun over a long period of time can trigger skin cancer. Skin cancer develops mainly on areas of the body most exposed to sunlight, including the scalp, face, lips, ears, neck, chest, arms, hands, legs and back. Some types of skin cancer appear as a small growth or a sore that bleeds easily, crusts over, heals and then reopens. Another sign of skin cancer is when an existing mole changes or a new, suspicious-looking mole develops. If you suspect skin cancer, you must see a doctor.

Mi Juguete Favorito

En el rincón de juguetes en el salón de clase esta mi juguete favorito: el balón de fútbol. Me gusta mucho jugar con la pelota pero no me gusta cuando me lo quiten, porque me enojo y me pongo muy triste. Cuando me pongo triste mis ojos se ponen chiquitos y lagrimosos.

- No te pongas triste y pídele la pelota a tu amigo- dice la profesora.

Mi amigo no me escucha y no me devuelve el balón y me hace enojar más y me hace llorar. Cuando estoy triste y enojado no me gusta que me hablen ni que me miren. La profesora me da la mano y eso me hace sentir un poco mejor.

La maestra nos llama y nos sienta los dos enfrente de ella. Luego, pone la pelota entre nosotros.

-Vengan chicos. Mírense a los ojos que son amigos y tienen que compartir los juguetes y hay que ser educados al pedir las cosas usando las palabras mágicas “POR FAVOR” nos explica la profe.

Nos abrazamos y eso me gusta porque me hace sentir mejor.

-Ahora pásale la pelota a tu amigo-indica la maestra

Entonces nos pasamos la pelota y juntos jugamos con nuestro juguete favorito. Jugando nos divertimos y reimos mucho.

Ya estoy contento y alegre porque es más divertido jugar a la pelota con todos mis amigos.
